About 1,900 families who lived in Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court will return in batches to their fire-ravaged homes from April 20.
Nearly five months after the deadly blaze in Tai Po engulfed seven of the estate’s eight buildings, the government arranged for residents to visit the devastated flats to collect their belongings and bid farewell to their homes.
According to Deputy Chief Secretary Warner Cheuk Wing-hing, around 6,000 residents have booked slots to return, while 47 households opted out, with many deciding against returning after seeing pictures of their ruined flats.
The Post looks at how residents should prepare and considers the emotional challenges they face in making the trip.
