Wang Fuk Court residents prepare for emotional return to site of deadly fire

Following a deadly fire last November that destroyed much of Hong Kong's Wang Fuk Court, residents are preparing to return to their homes. The fire damaged seven of the eight buildings, including the lift systems. Ming Lee, a 66-year-old retiree, plans to climb 25 flights of stairs to his flat in Wang Yan House to say a final goodbye to the home he shared with his wife and daughter for 40 years. The return is expected to be emotionally difficult for residents like Lee, who have seen their physical and mental well-being decline since the incident. The purpose of the return is to allow residents to properly bid farewell to their homes.
