The mindset of non-indigenous villagers about participating in preparations for Tin Hau Birthday’s celebration
When non-indigenous people attend village affaris, Ma Sui Wai believed sometimes it is not a thankless job. Their efforts may be responded with derision sometimes. However, they always tell themselves that they work for Tin Hau. As Tin Hau is the goddess who protects Nga Tsin Wai, so they actually work for the Nga Tsin Wai Village. This thought gives them a peace conscience so they can handle things peacefully. With a strong emotional tie with the village, Ma Sui Wai always visits it after removal. He visits the village with his wife every week because his wife’s younger brother still lives in the village. They also visit other villagers for a happy gathering.
