There is a stone standing like a man in Beishan, Wuchang, named Wang Mishi. According to legend, there was a virgin in ancient times, and her husband was stationed in a distant place. She stood in the north mountain, expecting her husband to return. He turned into a stone and never returned for a long time.

For this kind of virtuous woman image that people have been praising for thousands of years, the modern poet Shu Ting wrote such a poem-"It is better to cry on the shoulder of a lover for a night than to exhibit on a cliff for thousands of years" to publicize the individual life value of women.

A version of Wang Fuzhi's story.

Wangfushi is located on a hill in the southwest of Sha Tin, Hong Kong. This big stone is about fifteen meters high and looks like a woman with a child on her back. The tragic story about Wang Fushi is well known, and residents in Sha Tin are even more familiar with it.

Legend has it that in Shatian, a poor rural family, his wife gave birth to a baby girl and died, leaving a baby girl behind, and the neighbor's wife also gave birth to our son. She sympathized with the orphan girl and nursed her. The two children have always been childhood friends and get along well. Soon the girl's father died, and the orphan girl became the neighbor's "child bride". When she grew up, she married the boy and gave birth to a pair of sons.

One year, there was a drought and the crops failed. In order to make a living, the husband was forced to leave his wife and children and go abroad to make a living with his fellow villagers. Who knows if he never comes back, there will be no news. Every day, women hold their youngest son, carry their eldest son, climb mountains and watch the sea, expecting their husbands to come back. Every day, the wind and rain do not change.

One day, when mother and son were climbing the mountain as usual, they were caught in a storm and thundered. The mother and son suddenly disappeared into the world, but there was a huge rock where they stood, which looked like the missing mother and son. Legend has it that it deeply touched the sky, turned them into rocks and kept the peaks forever.
