The Ancient Curse Ritual They Don't Want You to Know About

For 300 years, beneath the bridges of Hong Kong, a curse has been passed down in whispers. Now it is in your hands.

What Is This?

打小人 — Beating the Petty Person — is a 300-year-old curse ritual born on the streets of Hong Kong. Practitioners gather beneath bridges at the start of spring, striking paper effigies to curse those who wronged them. The ritual is real. The tradition is alive. The question is not whether it works — but whether you dare to try.
