There is an invisible hand of destiny in the dark, influencing the fates of people. When he dreamed of the white dragon again at the age of 40, the white dragon told him that he was the White Dragon King in his previous life, and that he had come to the human world in this life with a mission to eliminate disasters and evil.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinnan awoke from his dream with a start, feeling as if he possessed a special ability, as if he had innately understood the mysteries behind fate. He then adopted "White Dragon King" as his name when traveling the world, and from then on, he devoted himself to guiding believers, telling fortunes and divining for them, all without charging a penny.
Unfortunately, a wealthy Thai businessman was facing a bottleneck in his family business, which prevented him from making significant strides in the market and left him heavily in debt. He hoped that the White Dragon King could offer him some guidance.
Unexpectedly, after this guidance, the other party not only cleared their debts but also made a fortune! Gradually, the clouds parted and the sun shone through, and their wealth increased significantly.
This wealthy merchant was a grateful person. To express his gratitude, he specially brought a large sum of money to fulfill his vow. However, the White Dragon King did not accept it at the time. So the merchant used the money to build a temple for the White Dragon King and answered people's questions in accordance with his wishes.
It is said that when the White Dragon King gives guidance to people, believers must wear white clothes, white pants, and white shoes and offer incense. Every morning at eight o'clock, when the White Dragon King appears in front of everyone to invite the gods and offer sacrifices, he begins to display his supernatural powers.
At this time, Zhou Qinnan, the White Dragon King, was already very famous in Thailand, and he received nearly 100 people a day.
In our traditional understanding, charlatans who use the guise of living gods to swindle people usually maintain an air of mystery in front of others to prevent themselves from being exposed by a single word or action. However, the White Dragon King answers the questions of countless worshippers every day. And if he were truly after fame and fortune, why would he not accept a single penny? This is quite contrary to normal people's thinking.
Hong Kong people place great importance on feng shui and metaphysics, and the White Dragon King's ascension to godhood in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was undoubtedly aided by the appreciation of Charles Heung, a powerful figure with connections to both the legitimate and underworld circles.
In 1997, the Asian financial crisis struck, leaving the entertainment industry in a state of flux. The Heung brothers, who had dominated a large portion of the Hong Kong film market with their "God of Gamblers" series, suffered a major setback.
By chance, Charles Heung found the White Dragon King, hoping he could give him some guidance on his career. Although the content of their secret meeting is unknown, the films subsequently produced by the Heung brothers, such as "Dragon in the Jianghu" and "God of Gamblers II," once again won the Hong Kong box office championship that year.
Unexpectedly, this consultation led to great success for the two, and they treated the White Dragon King with even greater respect from then on.
Then there's the legend of a Hong Kong film, "Infernal Affairs," a famous Hong Kong crime thriller. Originally titled "Infernal Walker," the film was directed by Lam Kin-yue in 2002. However, it's said that during the pre-production of this film, the entire crew benefited from the guidance of the White Dragon King by chance.
It's said that things didn't go smoothly at the beginning of filming. Either torrential rain delayed the shoot, or props mysteriously disappeared from the set. Most bizarrely, during a car scene, the brakes on the car, which had been pre-checked, suddenly failed. Nothing went right. Left with no other option, Peter Lam sought out the White Dragon King for guidance so that the film could be completed smoothly.
After calculating with his fingers, the White Dragon King said that a four-character name was unlucky, and then threw out the three-character name "Infernal Affairs". He told Peter Lam that the movie could be made into three parts, but if he wanted the movie to be a hit, he would have to hold a ritual. Then it would be a hit.
Afterwards, the White Dragon King performed an "initiation" ceremony for each of the lead actors and also gave a special blessing to Lin Jianyue. After that, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" went smoothly and the film achieved both critical and commercial success after its release, setting a box office record of nearly 60 million.
Having tasted the benefits, Peter Lam was deeply impressed by the White Dragon King. During the filming of the two Infernal Affairs movies, he even consulted the White Dragon King on casting. Many celebrity believers have turned bad luck into good and had great success because of him. As a result, the White Dragon King holds a very important position in the hearts of Hong Kong stars.
Another incident involves Leslie Cheung's attempt to meet the White Dragon King in 2003, which was rejected. The White Dragon King's four words implied that he had already seen through the secrets of heaven. As a beloved idol of a generation in Hong Kong, the gossip surrounding Leslie Cheung's life and death has been discussed countless times.
He was sincere, straightforward, dashing, and confident, but this also subjected him to too much pressure from the media. Leslie Cheung's authenticity only resulted in more intense speculation and interpretation, threats, intimidation, harassment, and paparazzi photos, ultimately leading him to his suicide.
In an interview, Leslie Cheung's sister said that every word and action of his was interpreted by the media, and paparazzi were constantly stalking outside their home. As a result, he was afraid to go to the hospital during his illness, fearing that the media would fabricate stories and distort the facts. She added that his depression was very severe, and he had overdosed on sleeping pills before jumping to his death.
Later, she always felt that she had a bad image and was not worthy of being an actress. Every night she would dream that she was being bullied in her dreams, but on the surface she still had to pretend to be nonchalant.
To help Leslie Cheung recover, a friend suggested he seek guidance from the White Dragon King. However, the White Dragon King, who had selflessly helped numerous celebrities and wealthy businessmen, flatly refused the invitation. At the time, no one understood why he insisted on refusing to meet with Leslie Cheung. Then, 19 years ago, Leslie Cheung jumped from the 24th floor, ending his legendary life.
Years later, when the White Dragon King was asked again why he didn't help Leslie Cheung, he only replied with four words: "His fate was sealed." Perhaps it was all predetermined, and some things, even if foreseen, could not change the outcome.
