Chaozhou Villagers Break Through Police Blockade to Hold ‘Ying Laoye’ Event as Scheduled (March 2, 2026)”
On the evening of March 2, the 14th day of the first lunar month, in Changmei Village, Fengxi Town, Chao’an District, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, CCP police blockaded the temple gates, attempting to prevent villagers from entering the temple to carry out the deity statues for the traditional “Ying Laoye” (deity parading)* event. However, the police cordon was quickly and forcefully breached by young people, allowing the event to proceed smoothly.
Note: “Ying Laoye” (营老爷) is a traditional folk custom in the Chaoshan region where local deity statues are brought out of the temple and paraded through the streets to bless the community.
