No matter which stage of my life it is, I have a relationship with Guan Yu.
I was born in a coastal village in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, 1400 kilometers away from the Haizhou. When I was in school in hometown, a large Guandi temple was right in front of the school, Jin Jiang people call Guan GongGuan Di Grandpa, since I played around the Guandi temple quite a bit before and after school every day, Guan Gong’s mighty image was deeply implanted in the mind since childhood .
When I was young, I went to the Philippines, I was alone and I always thought about my hometown, but my spirit was empty, then I thought of Wang Bin Chinatown has a Guan Shengfu Confucius temple for more than a hundred years, I often went there to burn incense and worship, later influenced by Guandi Grandpa, I stopped being hesitate, then I became dedicate to fight the cause. If you meet anything you can't decide, ask the GuandiGrandpa to grant the guidance, and it shall always work.
I would also like to tell you one thing, in Philippines, Guandi Grandpa is not only bound by the Chinese, but also by the locals, and the Guandi Grandpa has a foreign name, which is called the "SAN TZE KHE, which means the Holy Spirit.
Guangong Culture is a belief of Chinese overseas Chinese. Guan Yu belongs not only to China, but also the world, let the glory of Guan Yu spirit shine upon the whole world!
