Excellent photos!

Looks like fruits of Psychotria asiatica  山大刀 to me

I thought it should be 常山 Dichroa febrifuga? quite commonly seen at TPK.

Thx for information.
Interested in this kind of colorful fruit and have a question in mind "so juicy fruit, why the birds do not like it"
While I was watching the fruit, a small folk of Silver-eared Mesia came and were playing around.
One of them picked one and ate, but seemed not tasty.

from wiki,
全株有毒,誤服過量可致嘔吐、腹瀉及頭昏等症狀

I have seen Mountain Bulbuls and Chestnut Bulbuls eat them before, but they never seem to gorge on it though, just seen them eat one or two.
