Seeing the victim, Qián Ao held the food by left hand and the drink by right hand, and shouted at him ,”Hi, come to eat !” Hearing the word ,the man glared his eyes and said, “It is because I am not willing to eat the food handed out in contempt that I have been famished to such a degree. 民俗节庆门户网站


Though Qián Ao made an apology to him for that, the man still resolutely refused to eat the food and thus he died of hunger at last.  Chinese Folklores & Festivals Website
