It's the second wax figure in Madame Tussauds Beijing that has been created based on historical data rather than measurements of the actual subject. The first was Hou Baolin, China's cross-talk master.

"Wong Ka-kui's enduring appeal has encouraged a lot of Chinese people. Here, visitors will be able to see wax figures of great people like him and be inspired," says Wang Rui, general manager of Madame Tussauds Beijing.

Wong Ka-keung organized a concert at the Workers' Gymnasium in Beijing on June 10 (Wong Ka-kui's birthday), in memory of the 25th anniversary of his elder brother's death.

It's believed to be the first official large-scale concert in memory of him on the mainland. The wax figure and some belongings of Wong Ka-kui were displayed at the stadium during the concert.

The following day, the figure was returned to the wax museum and began its official exhibition.

It's located in the music display area, which boasts more than a dozen wax figures of singers from home and abroad. The area has recently been improved, and fans will soon be able to enjoy augmented reality interactions with virtual images of their idols.
