This is probably going to come across as a terribly jaded & cynical view of Hong Kong but, this Feng Shui (Chinese Witchdoctor/Astrologer to those of you not in Asia) seems to me to be the very epitome of the average male in Hong Kong. He did whatever it took to get wealthy.
In this case, he had a long running affair with a woman who was both old enough to be his mother and makes Camilla Parker-Bowles look good, but who was married to a really wealthy even older tycoon. After the hatchet-face with pig-tails managed to kill her elderly but filthy rich husband and get all his wealth transfered to her, she goofed off for a couple years and then died suddenly of cancer.
Then the Feng-Shui master, who incidentally was the only one treating her for the cancer, produces a previously unknown will, claims to have had a long term affair and het gets the money.
You can't make this stuff up
Until Next Time

It's that Feng Shui "Idiot Wind"...can't help it if he's lucky!
I don't know if Baroness Radon is being sarcastic or not.
The spelling is as the Hong Kong Standard had it listed though I've also seen it as "Fung Shui" However, if she is making fun of my spelling then I can simply claim, in this case, that I was using the form in the paper
Oh Fai Mao, sarcasm indeed, but not about your or anyone's spelling. It's a Bob Dylan song reference! I like your blog!
That must be only Bob Dylan reference I've ever missed. After all I used care but things have changed!
Perfect, innit?--
"Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess.
They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky."
