Funny Villain Hitting (三語口訣打小人) in 3 Languages: English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Beat your little heart, so loudly you fart!
Beat the Villain everyday, and your joys last for days!

This Villain Hitting App is created for fun. You can use it to release the stress in everyday life: whether they come from emotions, work, life, family, marriage, study or interpersonal relations.

Villain Hitting was selected as "Best Way to Get It Off Your Chest" in TIME magazine's 2009 "Best of Asia" feature.

A study by a Canadian university proved that symbolic venting of emotions can make people feel getting even and

restoring their sense of fairness. (See Links below for more information)

Villain Hitting does not mean to promote any violence or hatred. It's just a comical way of cursing in rhyming sentences. It's a kind of symbolic venting of emotions.

Villain hitting (In Chinese: 打小人), petty person beating or demon exorcising is a folk custom tradition popular
in Hong Kong. Its purpose is to curse one's enemies using magic. It is one of the "intangible cultural heritages"
and is promoted as a tourist spot in Hong Kong.

Please note: All sentences are original and purely fictitious.
