Wan Cheung had always been an enthusiastic participant in village affairs such as the reconstruction of Tin Hau Temple. As a result, he had earned the trust of – and had a very good relationship with – his fellow villagers. Indeed, so high was the regard in which he was held that, although he was not an indigenous villager in Nga Tsin Wai, he was elected as Deputy Treasurer for the reconstruction of Tin Hau Temple in 1985. He was also the main force in the reconstruction preparatory matters and the Tin Hau Festival celebration that year. Villagers were very enthusiastic about donating money to rebuild Tin Hau Temple, finally raising about HK$1,000,000. Nga Tsin Wai held a Jiao Festival in 1986 at a time when Wan Cheung was suffering from cystitis. At first, he did not intend to act as the main organiser, but the village elders said if he did not do so, the event would be a flop as it would not be organised properly. Wan Cheung hoped that the Jiao Festival would be held in a suitably grand manner befitting the temple’s refurbishment. He finally served as the event’s Director and Treasurer. Later, there was a serious fire in the home of Wan Cheung’s neighbour. The flames did not spread to Wan Cheung’s own home. Villagers said that this was because he was so enthusiastic about contributing to the celebration of the Birthday of Tin Hau and the Jiao Festival the Goddess of the Sea was looking over him.
