In the past two years, due to the epidemic situation, the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple was not open for believers to burn incense on the New Year's Eve.
The epidemic has subsided at the end of this year, and the Wong Tai Sin Temple will reopen tonight (21st) for believers to burn incense in person. Some believers have already arrived at 12 noon to take the first place.
The senior artist Huang Xiahui who was named "Xiahui BB" has always been the symbol of Touzhuxiang in the past. This year, she will be absent from "Touzhuxiang" because she has immigrated to the United States. Therefore, two concubines will be appointed to replace her. Pretend to be present at the event of burning incense.
In addition, due to the absence of "Xia Hui BB", some believers specially helped her to line up to offer incense at the Wong Tai Sin Temple, praying for Hong Kong people and wishing Hong Kong people good health. Since she is not here, I hope I can help her do some homework.”
More than 30 believers had arrived in line before 7:00 p.m.
As the world enters the road to normalcy, the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple will be open as usual until 4:30 pm on New Year's Eve, and will be opened at 9:00 pm for believers to come in and burn incense at midnight. It will be open all night until 9:00 pm on the first day of the new year.
At 7:00 p.m., more than 30 believers lined up to burn incense.
Huang Xiahui, a senior artist named "Xia Hui BB", would carefully dress up her hair every year, but this year she has immigrated to the United States, so she will no longer be seen.
But she appointed two deeds to burn incense for her, and they were dressed in bunny costumes.
One of the maids, Ms. Ai, said that she has accompanied Aunt Xia Hui to burn incense at the Wong Tai Sin Temple for the past four years. Although she will not be there this year, she hopes to fulfill her wish.

Ms. Ai said that in the past year, there has been joy amid hardships. Although the global environment is not good, God has blessed her with a good life. In the coming year, I hope my parents will be healthy and happy.
She pointed out that she noticed that many people would dress up and come to Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense this year, and hoped that more and more young people would join this tradition, "I hope it can be done like a Chinese Halloween (Halloween)."
Ms. Li, another married daughter of Huang Xiahui, said that she didn’t have any New Year’s resolutions, but mainly wanted to fulfill the wishes of her elders. “I hope the epidemic will pass soon, and everyone can do what everyone wants to do.” Aunt Xia Hui has traditionally distributed benefits in advance to good believers.

In addition to two concubine daughters praying on behalf of Aunt Xia Hui, Mr. Ji, dressed as a rabbit, also offered to help her line up to burn incense at the Wong Tai Sin Temple because "Xia Hui BB" was absent.
He said that every year he would watch Aunt Xia Hui burn incense on her head on TV, and this year saw her emigrate, so he hoped that he could pray for Hong Kong people on her behalf and wish Hong Kong people good health. Hui BB is here, she is not here this year, so I hope I can help her do some homework.”
When asked if it would be a pity not to see Aunt Xia Hui burning incense in Hong Kong again, he said that he noticed that Aunt Xia Hui also burned incense in Hong Kong to pray for blessings in the United States, "No matter where she goes, my heart It will be here." He also pointed out that in the past year because of the epidemic, everyone had a bad time, and hoped that this year's epidemic will pass quickly. "It's fine that this year is better than previous years."
The Wong Tai Sin Temple reopened on the evening of January 21st to allow believers to burn incense inside. Mr. Kwan, who was the first in line, came to the scene at 12:00 noon to line up. He has come to pray every year for the past 20 years.

In addition, many believers who have always come to Wong Tai Sin Temple to pray for blessings in the past have come to Wong Tai Sin Temple this year to wait for the incense sticks to be burnt.
He said that he has come to pray every year for the past 20 years, and he said that he was very happy to see many old friends when he reopened this year.
He also revealed that two years ago, when Wong Tai Sin Temple was not open to burn incense, he would bring fruits and incense to the vicinity of Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.
He said that the epidemic was severe last year, and he was not infected. Even if his family members were infected with the epidemic, they were not seriously ill. I believe part of the reason is because of the protection of Wong Tai Sin.
As for the New Year’s wishes for the Year of the Rabbit, he also said that he hopes that the epidemic will pass quickly, that the people in the house and enterprises will be safe and healthy, and that Hong Kong’s economy will recover as soon as possible. I think 90% of the people in Hong Kong want this."
