Pat Sin Leng Hiking Tour

This is the Chunfeng Pavilion at Pat Sin Leng The Pat Sin Leng fire tragedy occurred on February 10, 1997, and the Chun Feng Pavilion was completed on March 12 of the same year, which took only one month. The opening ceremony was personally presided over by the Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten. It is certainly impossible to complete it in one month. This pavilion had probably been planned long ago or even completed. It just took time for the senior government officials to make the final decision, plan the words and name it, and start construction. One has to admire the reaction and speed of the British Hong Kong government at that time, and its grasp of public opinion. It is no accident that Fat Peng is so popular! If it were today, it would probably take three to five to seven years to accomplish anything. Two Podocarpus trees were planted in front of the Chunfeng Pavilion that year to commemorate teachers Zhou Zhiqi and Wang Xiumei who sacrificed their lives to save others. After more than 20 years, the two Podocarpus trees have shrunk. It is possible that the old trees have died and were replanted. As for the cause of the tragedy, the Coroner's Court has already concluded that it was caused by students smoking or playing with fire. Teachers and students at Feng Yaojing Middle School generally believed that Zhang Runheng was the most suspicious. By the way, the three characters “春风亭” on the plaque were written by Anson Chan’s mother, the traditional Chinese painter Fang Zhaolin. #AugustVlog #LocalTour
