This picture taken on August 24, 2023 shows an ethnic Malaysian-Chinese artist preparing to perform a Chinese opera in front of empty seats believed to be seated by dead ancestors during the Hungry Ghost Festival in Kajang, Malaysia's Selangor state. The festival, celebrated in the seventh lunar month of the lunar new year calendar among communities in southern China, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, marks the belief that the 'Gates of Hell' are opened to let out the hungry ghosts who then wander in the land of the living while foraging for food.
