The historical setting of this play is fictionally set during the Liu Song Dynasty, a period rarely explored in theatrical works, yet it was the first dynasty of the Southern Dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period in Chinese history. An interesting character in the play, "Gu Wan-Fu," connects to the playwright's concept of the "God of Poverty," weaving a futile bargain - three incense sticks to grant three wishes. But this is the God of Poverty, presiding over "poverty, illness, suffering, loneliness, and widowhood" - can these three wishes truly be fulfilled? Fulfilling one brings misfortune to another. What strange events transpire between Gu Wan-Fu and the God of Poverty? "The Wishing Goddess" refuses to view poverty through worldly eyes. There are far too many mysteries in the universe beyond human control, and through layer upon layer of story development, you will come to understand the true rewards between giving and receiving, and between destitution and poverty.
