Fa Tuan Ni, owner of building and the Chinese Restaurant known as Xin Xing at 250 Main Street, has fired up the burners again and opened as promised on March 1st, 2025. The Beacon Internet is excited. Beacon-grown basketball player Elijah Hughes said on ALBB’s Instagram: “U can shakeback from anything in life.” Beacon-grown rapper TonyEChandy commented “Best Chinese spot in Beacon.”
Chef Drake KellzyLieu Hall said: "They're not new to this, they're TRUE TO THIS!"
The daughter of the artist Teron Wright who stopped in to the restaurant on opening day after delivering a piece of commissioned art to a collector who lives in Beacon.
On opening day, the Beacon-grown artist Teron Wright declared: “One time for the one time lol…They tried to shut us down but we back like we never left.” Teron had been delivering a commissioned piece of artwork to one of his collectors who lives in Beacon, and “figured why not grab me and my daughter a meal while we was in town,” Teron told ALBB.
“For those asking,” Teron reported on his own Instagram, “OG still behind the counter,” meaning, Teron was impressed and excited to see the familiar face of Fa Tuan Ni.
After a pause, Fa Tuan Ni gradually made changes to his building, which included painting the facade red and adding new characters to it that say “Peace” on the front of the building and “Strength” on the side of the building.

Fa Tuan Ni can be seen on the outdoor fitness circuit, where he jogs up to the Beacon High School track to do calisthenics, or drops and does a few sets of 20 right outside his building on the sidewalk. In case anyone needed a dose of morning motivation.
