The photo that became a symbol for Hong Kong's deadly fire
The day a deadly fire devastated the Wang Fuk Court housing estate, 71-year-old retiree Wong had set off to pick up his granddaughter from school, with his wife at home.
Soon after he left the apartment, Wong realised a fire had broken out at one of the towers in the complex.
By the time he returned, flames were pouring out of the middle floors of the tower where he and his wife lived.
"My wife is inside," he screamed, pointing at the flames engulfing the apartment block.
Wong's plight was captured in a Reuters photograph that went viral.
