When is a Hong Kong wild man not a Hong Kong wild man? When I get carried away with myself and think
he was talking about a Yeren or something.... This note below is a clarification
by Tung from the Gwulo.com web site. But I am following up the 'fairy' story he
mentions (see below) and will follow up the Silver Chics (sic) too. Are there any
silver-coloured baby birds in S. China, anyone?
“The long-eared wild
man we saw , around 1953-54, was half-naked, perking on the bushland bordered
between this hidden valley and the CLCY village. He was also seen covered with
fur skin and leafy clothing with weird hair decorations from seashells, eyes so
red like being on fires and voiced very low-pitched as a very old man. He was
big, more hairy than normal, kind looking and quite majestic, like a Chief from
the Amazon forest. His ears were very big, long and curled up with hairy tip
on each top. He smoked with a very long bamboo pipe and seemed always on guard
on his tiny territory with a rod like a prophet under the torching sun,
sometimes eagles and ravens flying in circle in the sky above. More than once he
wanted us to come closed to his den which was like an opening to some unknown
shelter next to this forest. For the sake of our parental advice, we
never accept his plea, our curiosity always directs our thinking that he might
be a fairy because his location was on the edge of the area known as Sen Yan
Jiang which means The Fairy's Well.
real
mystery,
and that's not the
only fairy we knew (?) on the island.
Anyone know about
this one: A legendary story of the " Flock of Silver Chics in the Bamboo Forest
near Pai
Tai Temple"
Believe it or not!
