"It turned out to be until the early morning... I knew... I knew I didn't have to go to the hospital... I had to go to the Kwai Fong (Yong) mortuary and wait..." Liang Shuling, who used to be sonorous, recalled seeing it on the TV news ten years ago. With the news of the death of her beloved brother, the strong woman's iron armor was also washed away by tears.
Ten years ago, on National Day night, Liang Jiajie, his younger brother who had just joined HK Electric and was in charge of receiving guests at the company's fireworks event, died at sea.
Her sister, Liang Shuling, has been waiting for the police and the government to investigate for 8 years, with no results. Two years ago, the court decided not to convene a coroner's court.
After ten years of acting tough, Liang Shuling said that the yearning for her younger brother is the driving force for her to persist for many years, and what supports her is the unfinished mission of her deceased brother: "She dedicated her life... On this matter, what? What exactly will this incident reveal? I hope I can help him know the truth." Before she gets closer to the truth, she is convinced that even if she changes roles, her brother will fight for her to the end. Heaven and man are forever separated, and the unbroken brotherhood is also cut off.
The road to find the truth is not yet finished, Liang Shuling sighed bitterly. The journey has been very difficult. She has been subjected to cold words on the Internet and offline.
She spent two years studying the government's investigation report on the cause of death, finding new doubts, and filing a case with the High Court to apply for a coroner's court. The results will be revealed on October 31.
She said at her brother's grave: "On October 31st, I hope I can talk to you again and hear the results!"
I think that I want to know the truth, it's just a very humble request... Liang Shuling, the family of the victims of the Lamma shipwreck
【Lamma Shipwreck 10th Anniversary Series No. 3】
"That's a lot of things, why don't you tell me to bury me? He said: 'Next year's meeting, let's do a reception this year first.'" After graduating from college, he just joined HK Electric as management On the morning of October 1, 10 years ago, on the morning of October 1, Liang Jiajie, a trainee (Management Trainee/ MT), promised to take his family aboard to enjoy the National Day fireworks display next year.
The promise was not fulfilled, and the news of the collision of "Lamma No. 4" was broadcast on the TV news that night. Liang Shuling said, "I can't believe it for a moment, and I can't even estimate it is such a big event..." But The phone of her brother and HK Electric could not be connected. She immediately tried every reason to rule out the news that her brother might have died.
But she must always face it rationally. That night, she and her family patted the door from hospital to hospital, made phone calls, and waited at the scene, hoping that her younger brother would be rescued, but she kept waiting, and there was no good news.
What Liang Shuling couldn't wait for was not only the news of her brother's survival, but also the truth of the shipwreck that seemed far away.
We immediately went to every hospital to knock on doors, make phone calls... to ask if there was any injured person, and then... all went to... the scene.
At the scene, I actually knew that they kept rescuing them. We really hoped that every stretcher that went up would belong to him, but I couldn't see it all the time. That's why... I will continue to go to the different hospital to pat the door.
As a result, I went to the early morning... I knew... I knew I didn't have to go to the hospital... I had to go to the Kwai Fong (Chong) mortuary and wait... Liang Shuling, the family of the victim of the Lamma shipwreck
The 10th Anniversary of the Lamma Disaster Report:
Ten Years of Lamma Disaster
To complete the unfinished mission for her younger brother has been the driving force for Liang Shuling to embark on the road of finding the truth in the past ten years, but this road has encountered obstacles again and again.
The last time there was disillusionment was two years ago when a court ruled against a coroner's hearing, in a rare direct way of ruling that the 39 victims were "unlawfully killed".
Liang Shuling, who was forced into a dead end, was deeply frustrated and went to her brother's grave to talk.
In her mind, the younger brother who has reached the kingdom of heaven has never left.
Every time I go, I have something to say and hear about our situation, that is, every time I say something to hear: "Eight years... I get a letter... so I can't open the cause of death..." When I know, I am so hesitant, I don't know what I can do... When it turns out that I can go to the high court, or I can go to the (police coroner's investigation) report, I will go to talk and listen:.
"Hey!
I can go grab a report.
』I talked and listened again, and after the research was over, I realized that I didn't know how to watch it..."Hey!
Little guy, I don't know about it!

Back and forth from hell and back to the world, the dawn reappears, but in the end, the police's death investigation report finds more and less truth?
It took Liang Shuling two years to find out the suspicious points from the 2,000 pages of the police's shipwreck investigation report.
Although it is impossible to answer the mystery, but after many hard work, at least new doubts and new evidence have been found.
After eight years, I can't open the cause of death in court, I thought there was no way to go... After that, Weiqu said, no matter, if you want to know the truth, you can go and read the 2,000 pages of paper.
A psychological barrier is to overcome, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient. First, you can read 2,000 pages of paper, because you don't care, just read it, you have to understand, maybe you have to go and ask, what exactly is it? What does a term (proper noun) mean?
What does the term for a boat mean?
You are going to study!

Two years apart, Liang and two other shipwrecked families filed a petition with the High Court in June this year, requesting a coroner's court, hoping to have the opportunity to bring those who do not want to testify to the witness column, to be cross-examined by the family members, and personally for the younger brother. After walking this path of seeking the truth, "Wait ten years! I haven't gotten it yet! 𠵱 I went to the door of my house, and I hope he can lock me."
I don't have the confidence to build 100%... It's been ten years, there have been many deaths, injuries and injuries, and maybe even people have been relocated... It's not a post, will he be able to go out? , a puzzle... ah, the one-piece puzzle system has already missed it?
No one knows.
But that's what I hope, as many puzzles can be solved, so you can complete the truth first!

In fact, our daily life is going downhill, but we won't forget about it, especially when they....the government and the police work on it. After 8 years, there should be a happy ending after 8 years? I believe it is a... In addition to the account of the 39 lives and the account of the family members, it should actually be the account of the citizens. "
