HONG KONG, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hollywood star and Hong Kong-born comedian Jimmy O. Yang (Jimmy) recently returned to his hometown, bringing his celebrated stand-up comedy to local audiences for the first time. Beyond the stage, he took the opportunity to rediscover the vibrancy, culture and contrasts of the city he calls home.

Cultural Immersion in the Heart of the City

Jimmy immersed himself in the rich heritage of Hong Kong at the historic Man Mo Temple in Sheung Wan, which has stood proud for nearly 180 years. Here, he took part in a series of time-honoured rituals, including touching the Writing Brush on the statue of Man Cheong, the ancient Chinese God of Literature; handling the sword of Guan Di, a third-century Chinese general; and making a heartfelt wish by applying gold foil to the temple’s golden deer statue. These quiet moments offered Jimmy a personal connection to his heritage, while also reflecting the deep spiritual roots embedded into the modern metropolis.
