General Baokeng

General Baokeng

General Baokeng, formerly known as 'General Shen Zi Keng ', was a decorative piece in a Banqiao District, New Taipei City restaurant. Later, Mr Liu, a removal company owner, didn't want to discard it as waste and moved it to his hometown's vacant lot in Shezai Keng, Hu Shan Li, Douliu City, Yunlin County. Subsequently, according to the local deity's indications, the statue was said to be possessed by the spirit of a Singaporean soldier who had died in a military training accident as part of Project Starlight between Taiwan and Singapore. The local residents worshipped the statue as a god of the local faith and as a Wan Ying Gong, a type of deity worshipped by the Hushan Dam construction workers.
