The Fairy Serpent - a Teochew folklore given new life
Folklores have always been important in helping to preserve and transmit the identity and values of cultures.
The Fairy Serpent is a Teochew variant of “Beauty and the Beast”. It tells about the life of a girl whose virtues not only saved her father from evil but also transformed the serpent she was forced to marry into a kind-hearted man.
Originally collected in Adele Fielde’s Chinese Nights’ Entertainment (download for free here), this ageless story has been beautifully retold in a book by Huang Lei, a Teochew illustrator from Singapore.
You may read The Fairy Serpent in English from this link.
Or watch it in Teochew (with English or Chinese subtitles):
