A 66-year-old woman named Bai Shui Lin is being remembered as a hero for saving five lives during the Wang Fuk Court fire in Hong Kong.

After hearing the evacuation alert on her 17th-floor building, she went door to door, helping four people and a pet dog escape the flames.

According to neighbors, Bai helped at least four residents escape, including families unaware of the danger.

She also guided a pet dog and its owner to safety. Tragically, her heroic actions cost her life, and she was later found dead in her apartment.

Yip Ka-kui, her husband, was about to take a nap when Bai Shui Lin called from another room, warning that a fire was climbing the neighboring building where their son lived.

He rushed downstairs in panic, witnessing the blaze rapidly engulfing the Wang Fuk Court complex.

“I called my wife urgently, telling her there was a big fire and we had to leave,” the 67-year-old recalled through tears.

Bai Shui Lin replied she couldn’t move through the thick, choking smoke. Moments later, the noise overwhelmed the line, and he lost all contact.

For days, Yip scoured victim lists, hospitals, and any available information, desperately searching for any sign of Bai.

Each passing hour brought mounting fear and heartbreak. Five days later, police confirmed his worst fears: Bai, his wife of 40 years, had never made it out of their building.

“If I’d asked her to leave a minute earlier, I think she would have survived,” he said. “But we know her. She wouldn’t have left without warning others.”

While her two sons survived the blaze, Yip expressed deep sorrow and guilt, saying he wished he could have reached her sooner.

Authorities continue to investigate the fire, with 30 people still missing and safety violations under scrutiny.

Bai Shui Lin’s legacy lives on as a symbol of heroism, selflessness, and human compassion, remembered by neighbors, family, and communities across the city.

A Filipino domestic worker is being honored as a global hero after saving her employer’s three-month-old baby from a deadly fire in Hong Kong.
