On Lunar New Year’s Eve at Wong Tai Sin Temple, you’ll likely spot Lana Wong Ha Wai (Auntie Ha Wai). Her flamboyant looks never fail to delight the crowd. Her bold words and quirky gestures often steal the show online.

Once dubbed the attention-seeker and “Queen of Funerals” by the press, she’s now affectionately known as “New Year’s goddess,” “Ha-wai BB,” and “Hong Kong’s godmother”. At 94, she takes it all in stride — treating life like a grand theatre. Beneath the glam, she’s fearless, free-spirited, and lives to bring a smile to others.
