The family of the deceased revealed to the media today (17th) that the government has yet to send staff to explain the incident to the family, describing it as "tiring my daughter to die so tragically" and feeling hesitant about the way forward.
The deceased worked as a substitute security guard and had to work in different places on weekdays. The family described the deceased as being "good responsible and kind" and also the breadwinner of the family.

Wei Yujun, the 43-year-old deceased, worked as a security guard for Weizhi Guard Co., Ltd. with a monthly salary of about 14,000 yuan. On weekdays, he had to work in different places in the form of substitute workers, working 5 to 6 days a week, and worked in the maternal and child health center for about half a year. About once or twice a week, the family described the deceased as being "very conscientious and kind." He was also very diligent in his work, sometimes requiring up to 12 hours of work, and from time to time he supported his colleagues.
The mother pointed out that her daughter also mentioned the hard work before her death, "If you know it is dangerous, you must not do it."
She also believed that her daughter, because she was a substitute worker, did not know that the iron gate was broken, so she went to open the gate.
Two-thirds of salary to support parents
Wei Nv is the youngest daughter in the family. After her divorce from her husband in the early years, she has been relying on her seventy-year-old mother. In addition, she also takes care of her father, who is divorced from her mother. He was diagnosed with kidney cancer this year and has had one kidney removed. In the future, he may need long-term washing kidney.
Since the elder sister also had children to take care of, the deceased shouldered the responsibility of taking care of his parents alone. He would give two-thirds of his salary to his mother every month as medical expenses for his family and his father.
Now that Wei's daughter has died suddenly, the family has no support, and she has no living expenses in the future, even the funeral expenses. In addition, the medical expenses of Wei's father who suffers from kidney cancer have to be raised, so the help of enthusiastic people is needed.

Trade Union: The government has not contacted family members to raise funds to help overcome difficulties
Ms. Lin Ching-yi of the Industrial Casualty Rights Association pointed out that the employer of the security company contacted the family members and sent fruit baskets to condolences this morning, but the head of the health center, the Labour Department and other government departments have not contacted the family members so far, and the family members also feel that there is no way to hold them accountable. The road feels hesitant.
Ms. Lin believes that the government has the responsibility to explain the incident to the family and to take responsibility, including whether the iron gate involved has been regularly maintained, and whether appropriate measures have been taken to ensure safety after damage is found.
The Labour Rights Association is also raising funds for the deceased's family members, calling on enthusiasts to lend a helping hand to the bereaved to help them tide over the difficulties.
