What to leave behind? Returning Wang Fuk Court residents stuck with tough decisions

Residents of Hong Kong's Wang Fuk Court are facing difficult choices upon returning to their fire-damaged homes. Following a blaze in November, occupants are being given a limited time to retrieve their belongings. Many, like Cecilia, whose upper-floor flat sustained minimal damage, are discovering that practical constraints, such as the inability to transport large or heavy items down the stairs, mean they must leave behind valuable possessions. These include family heirlooms, precious metals, and antique furniture. The situation forces residents to make difficult decisions about what they can salvage and what must be abandoned due to logistical challenges.
