Primary school teacher Lin Litang ruled that she died of suicide. Magistrate: the second time being summoned by the principal triggered Lin Litang’s emotional breakdown (14:15)-20210129-Hong Kong News-Real Time News

Lin Litang (48 years old) fell off a building at school on March 6 the year before and died on the spot. Lin Litang’s family, the Education Association and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals all sent lawyers to appear in court. The then principal Luo Wanyi had no legal representatives, and cross-examined witnesses and gave evidence alone.

Zhou Guan’s comprehensive testimony stated that one week before the incident, Lin Litang was found to have missed the notice of exchange activities in Macau. Luo Wanyi summoned Lin Litang to reprimand and asked her to resign and write a report to explain. Eventually the crisis was resolved and the activities proceeded smoothly. “Living and not letting go”, Lin Litang was summoned for the second time one day before the incident (March 5).

Zhou Guan criticized that the omission of the notice was not only Lin Litang’s responsibility. Luo Wanyi never asked the deputy principal Zheng Yuechang to be responsible for supervision. “No wonder the witnesses say that Principal Luo has different attitudes towards different people.” And Zheng Yuechang never said for Lin Litang. A word. Zhou Guan also criticized the practice of Zhou Zhijian, the director of academic affairs of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, calling Luo Wanyi before and after meeting with Lin Litang, “May I ask a principal who does not listen to the teacher if he receives a call from the headquarters and changes his attitude the next day. teacher?”

Zhou Guan concluded that the missed announcement was the cause of the incident, and the second meeting by the principal was the trigger point for Lin Litang’s emotional breakdown, pushing Lin Litang into an unbearable situation. Lin Litang once said to the teacher who comforted her, “This time I want to die with him.” It is estimated that she meant to die with Luo Wanyi in her career, because Lin Litang believed that she would still be embarrassed by Luo Wanyi in the future until she voluntarily resigned; Lin Litang chose to stay in school Falling down from the building “brought President Luo’s career to an end.”

Zhou Guan said that the incident could have been avoided if Luo Wanyi did not summon Lin Litang for the second time and withdrew her resignation request; if Zhou Zhijian had grasped the situation in the school when he met Lin Litang, he promised to keep the meeting confidential; if Zheng Yuechang stood up for Lin Litang If you take responsibility, the tragedy will not happen.

Zhou Guan pointed out that the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals set up an independent investigation committee after the event and made 19 recommendations. She accepted the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals to conduct a sincere review, so she did not make additional recommendations, and only suggested that the Education Bureau follow up and implement the recommendations; The handover work of the good academic affairs director, and when dealing with complaints, the identity of the person who seeks help will be disclosed.

The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and its affiliated Li Donghai Primary School Incorporated Management Committee stated that the school and its management will study the judgment in detail, and earnestly study how to implement relevant recommendations. The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals will continue to strengthen and improve the governance of various educational service institutions under their jurisdiction.
