Elaine Chow: 14 March, 1986 – 27 October, 2005 – Gone, but Never Forgotten!

In loving memory of Elaine Chow our friend and colleague who in the early hours of the 27 October 2005 committed suicide by stepping off a building. Gone, but never forgotten!

Elaine was a wonderful, vibrant young woman, who brought joy to everyone she met. Our memories of her remain so strong and clear, that beaming smiling face still brings a big smile to my face and a warm glow to my heart even in the darkest of days.

The pain of her death never seems to fade.

RIP Elaine you are deeply missed.

Almost 3 people a day, on average, commit suicide in Hong Kong, it’s the unseen killer, if you know someone who’s talking (even jokingly) of it get them help/talk to them. 

Suicide is not the answer.
HongKongers help each other, reach out and talk to someone…please!

If you’re thinking of committing suicide, you are not alone – talk to someone first. Suicide scars and destroys those you leave behind.

RIP Mark Andrew Rendell

Tragically Mark Andrew Rendell died recently of a suspected heart attack.

Mark worked many jobs while living in Hong Kong for almost 30 years. For the last few he managed a Wanchai bar, creating a vibe that attracted a wide and eclectic mix of customers who happily made it their local.

bc offers our condolences to his family. RIP my friend.

Gone But Not Forgotten – Leung Ling-kit

Tragically on the 15 June Leung Ling-kit fell to his death from Pacific Place during the “Say No to China Extradition” protests. Leung loved Hong Kong and was among the many anonymous local heroes who stood up to be heard when they saw their home threatened.

On the 21 June a memorial was held on Queensway and upwards of 10,000 people paid tribute to a man who stood up for what he believed in.

Sadly there will always be ‘+1’ to these protests against politicians who love China and their own self-interest more than the people of Hong Kong they’re supposed to represent.

RIP Leung Ling-kit – Gone, But Never Forgotten!
