! R( d+ E! A3 z9 o% UShengwei Mao called back home on October28, 2007 and expressed how difficult the relationship was between him and hishost family. Afterwards, he lost the contact with home, and disappeared. Icalled the Homestay on November 19, 2007 to ask about Mao, and the host said hehad moved out. The police in China notified us on December 14, 2007 that theCanadian police found the Mao’s body at the harbor two weeks ago, and theyfound a strangling print on his neck, but the Canadian police didn’t releaseany cause of his death to us.

After the tragedy passed back, my wholefamily was in a deep grief. The tragedy made my husband who already has a uremiaand had a kidney-transplant operation worse in the bed. As a wife and a mother,after enduring all kinds of hardship to raise him up, I’m completely desperate andin extremely sorrow by this notification full of tragedy. Fortunately, after thoughtfullycomforting by my relatives, I had the wills and courage to continue my life. Asa Chinese citizen and an only child in my family, Mao and I strongly accompaniedhis father to overcome the severe disease and death. Mao especially treasuredfamily affiliation and life. He was a great kid who was dutiful and enthusiastic,had strong wills, and was full of beautiful hopes to study abroad. However, notonly didn’t he learn any foreign skill to serve back for his home nation andhis parents, but he was done with his life overseas. Up to today, even thecauses of his death are not discovered yet, and how couldn’t I suspectsomething going on there?

I supplicate Mr. Mayor to personally supervisethe local police to discover this case as soon as possible, and Halifax Municipality to properly treat with myonly son’s body to comfort his poor soul in the heaven. Please justify aChinese civilian family! My poor husband is at death’s door in the bed, and I’mnot able to come overseas. Whoever deeply concerns about the poor mother of me,please go and visit my son’s body for me!; {  \; O9 X+ }. ~8 j3 \1 @3 O
