He then founded the Fuk Hing Tong in Wan Chai and opened a Chinese medicine hall.

After seven years, Master Wong Tai Sin instructed him to build a new temple under Lion's Rock in Kowloon. When he arrived, there was nothing there but a barren bamboo garden.

The fire at the wooden housing area (called “Chuk Yuen United West Street” at that time) opposite Sik Sik Yuen reached the gates of Sik Sik Yuen and even charred the handwritten words “Sik Sik Yuen Supreme Paradise” black.
