The spirit possession act of Pok Sheng Ngau Chai in Sha Po’s tai tei tong before the Japanese invasion in 1941
On the evening of every Mid-August Festival, a show called Pok Sheng Ngau Chai was put up by the yardpond in Sha Po. One villager or two would come up for some kungfu. They would introduce their schools and claim to be disciples of Maoshan masters. They still looked good after fires were ignited on them. Drums were played to cheer for them. CK Ng recalled that the performers’ skills could hardly be spotted the other days, but that evening they acted as if they were possessed. The show lasted for an hour or so with villagers speculating around the pondyard. CK Ng always went to the show. This tradition vanished after the restoration of peace. With plenty of places for hanging out, CK Ng seldom went to Nga Tsin Wai when small. He could hardly recall anything about it. There used to be a ‘Chui Lok’ Club outside Nga Tsin Wai. It was a gathering place for grown-ups. CK Ng and other kids seldom went inside.
