Hong Kong volunteer worker gives his life to charity

"That morning when Wong was still in Lanzhou, I ate beef noodles with him," said Yixiang. When he heard the sad news, he felt deep sorrow. "He played an important role in China's public welfare activities and he was an easygoing and simple person." 　

People who joined the gathering also included nurses, lawyers, train attendants, university students and merchants. They mourned in silence, made vows and signed their names to mourn for those victims. The 4-hour gathering moved numerous citizens, regardless of whether they were children from kindergarten or old people, they all joined in, mourning the victims. 　

Wong, an ordinary person in Hong Kong, was so strong that he led the children in the orphanage as they ran away from the earthquake with all his strength when the disaster happened, and fell down after he had saved three more children and three more teachers from the ruins. 　　

Wang Xueting, who also attended the gathering, said that Wong not only stands for the spirit of Hong Kong, he also stands for the spirit of a volunteer, presenting the image of "beauty" and "love" to the world.

After the gathering was finished at 9pm, an old couple rushed up and bowed three times in front of Wong's photo. They said that they did not know who Wong was until they heard his story on the news. "Qinghai's Yushu County is at a high altitude, so Hong Kong people who live in southern China wouldn't be accustomed to the climate there. Wong, who was from Hong Kong, died in Qinghai because of his public welfare work, which moved us and made us admire him very much."
