This statue has been provided by the Liu Man Shek Tong Ancestral Hall, Sheung Shui. Depicting a reddish-blue goblin and named "Kui Xing", the statue was originally kept in Man Ming Temple in Fu Tei Au, Sheung Shui. The deity of this statue stands with one leg on the head of a sea-turtle - signifying "distinction from the rest" - and the other thrown behind his body in the shape of a big hook, while holding a ladle in one hand and a writing brush in the other, as if poised to write the names of the successful candidates in the imperial examinations.
