The Goddess of Mercy is a 1967 Chinese-language fantasy movie directed by Shin Sang-ok and Lim Won-Sik, with a running time of 1h 37m. It stars Li Li-Hua, Kim Seung-ho and Choe Seong-ho.
With her elegant classic persona, Li Li-hua was the ideal performer for period aristocratic and imperial roles. The Goddess Of Mercy is a good example of her strong empathy and noble presence. The youngest daughter of a brutal king, the princess openly disapproves of the floggings and cruel treatment her royal family heaps on the peasants. As a result, the heartless king turns on his own daughter forcing her into exile.
