Description

Hung Hei was a righteous government official who won approbation from the people. During his tenure in office, he encouraged the study of astronomy, geography and mathematics. He even set up an astronomical observatory and his precise weather forecasting proved to be of enormous value to traders and fishermen. After Hung Shing's death, the reigning emperor disseminated his virtues to the whole country and bestowed upon him the posthumous title of "Kwong Lee Hung Shing Tai Wong". It is said that Hung Shing still blessed the villagers after his death and had showed his presence to save many people during tempests.
