Summon the dead to identify protester's mother
(27 Jun) At the end of September last year, a naked corpse of a 15-year old female were awkwardly floating in the ocean. The Hong Kong police declared no foul play suspected and the body was cremated and left no remnants to investigate. The Hong Kong Coroner's Court recently did a pre-inquest review on the case.
The deceased was Chan Yin-lam, a competitive swimmer. Whether it was a "suicide" or if she "was suicided" remains an issue rife with suspicions and doubts. Someone's daughter had gone missing. Tsz-ming, one of the people in her search team, learned that the news of her death came out during the hustle and bustle. Overnight, he lost contact with both Chan's mother and her maternal uncle. The two family members vanished without a trace...
Chan had participated in anti-extradition law amendment bill (anti-ELAB) activities many times. A lovely young girl was inexplicably reduced to ash. Afterwards, many young people from the protests disappeared, some suspect they were extradited to mainland China, killed or suicided. They became trapeze artists (that shed no blood when landing) and floating corpses in the ocean. The atrocities of public security and evil cops were covered up and indulged, so will they simply remain unpunished? To appease the mob, TVB news director set out to interview Chan's mother; her blurred out face could not have been any faker. Later, some scoundrel of [Confucian] propriety, righteousness, integrity and politics* wrote an open letter "on behalf of" Chan's mother. It came with no photo, no signature and no authorisation; no one in Hong Kong believed it. For the entirety of the court date, police officers surrounded and escorted her... Netizens examined old photos of Chan's mother, suspected photos of the deceased and the more recent images from her [mother's] court appearance. They made comparisons of her [Chan's] brow ridges, the birthmark on her neck, the part in her hair and the puffiness in her eyes. This "grand charade" could not end even if it wanted to. So this place does not have 300 taels?+ Who knows what is true or false? Display ID? Compare names? DNA testing? Which department is trustworthy?
This is why the best way to seek redress is by summoning the dead in a public trial just like the Hello Kitty murder case++ when the courtroom's halogen lights kept flashing and the victim's half-cooked head aired her own grievances. Only if [Chan's] departed soul cries out "Mom!" in the courtroom will we believe it.
Editor's Note:
* 禮義廉政 is a play on words of the proper phrase, 禮義廉恥, meaning propriety, righteousness, integrity and honour. This article replaced honour (恥) with politics (政).
+ This place does not have 300 taels is a Chinese idiom akin to one of Aesop's Fables. It refers to someone who believes that they are clever, but their attempt to cover something up only makes the situation more obvious.
++ The Hello Kitty murder case refers to the kidnapping, torture and death of night club hostess in 1999. The convicts boiled her head to hide evidence of the crime.
