Hundreds in HK say goodbye to Qinghai earthquake hero

HONG KONG - Hong Kong residents, including hundreds of volunteers, streamed into a downtown funeral home on Thursday to pay their last respects to Wong Fuk-wing, a former volunteer who lost his life saving others in the earthquake that hit Qinghai province on April 14.

Wong, a 46-year-old truck driver who had survived the 7.1 magnitude quake in Yushu, died in a powerful aftershock when he was rescuing victims trapped in the debris of an orphanage where he worked as a volunteer.

Wong sacrificed himself to rescue four people, including three orphans and a teacher.
