Therefore, the people built temple in memory of him and worshipped him. The Emperor of Tong Dynasty also awarded him as the King of South Sea.         Hung Shing Temple, situated in Fuk Tsun St. Tai Kok Tsui, originally was a temple in the Fuk Chuen Village which was located at the intersecting point of the Boundary Street and Tai Kok Tsui Road.
