On October 6th, a tragedy happened in Singapore. A family of three from the northeast immigrated to Singapore for many years and lived in HDB flats. Both parents are Kochi, and my daughter is studying in a prestigious school in Singapore. She used to be a schoolmaster and has a doctorate from Cambridge, but later she became insane and couldn't take care of herself.

In October this year, in a HDB apartment in Sengang, Singapore, Ms Tsang, who was on the 7th floor, got up in the morning to cook. She looked up and suddenly screamed-a few drops of sticky red liquid seeped out from the ceiling, and there was a stench that was rushing to the nose, like hoisin sauce, and her hands couldn't disperse after wiping it.
At first, she thought it was a water pipe leak, and she checked the property several times to no avail.
Until the smell became stronger and stronger, the neighbor on the 10th floor simply closed the window all day, and her son couldn't bear it. On the afternoon of October 6th, he contacted the property and said, "You must open the door on the 8th floor to have a look, otherwise it would be too scary".
The moment the property with the spare key opened the door, everyone turned back – the living room door with a woman dressed in the old house, no longer breathed; the bedroom was even more frightening, the 70-year-old was lying on the bed, the body was broken with only a skull shelf, and the clothes crumbled down hanging on it.
Later, the forensic doctor said that the father left first, and the daughter stayed alone in the house for a month and finally starved to death.
According to Chinese network reports, the father and daughter were immigrants from the Northeast and lived here in 2001.
Who could have imagined that this home that looked ordinary, once hid a Cambridge doctor?
In 1997, he won the championship of the National Chinese Writing Competition. He went all the way to the undergraduate and master's degrees at the National University of Singapore. In 2008, he came back with a Cambridge doctoral certificate and worked as a researcher in a French research institute for three years.
Her parents were all engaged in scientific research, and her early neighbors also said "this family is a scholar's model."
The turning point was in 2016, when Xuana’s mother left because of illness. Since then, the family has shut itself off.
Neighbors said that Xu Na's father always wears a hat and mask when she goes out, carries two bags of rice and walks with her head down, and does not respond to him when greeting him; Xu Na occasionally claps and sings in the elevator, muttering words that she doesn't understand, which doesn't look right, but she never bothered anyone else.
At the end of August last year, they were last seen going out shopping together, and the door has not been opened since then.
Somebody will ask that Singapore is not a complete pension system and how can this happen?
Indeed, according to Singapore's 2024 population report, the proportion of the elderly over the age of 65 is 20%, the escort center will actively find the elderly, the group house and the emergency call button, but these are not useful to this family.
Community volunteers later confessed that they were rejected several times when they wanted to visit, and that the family didn’t even participate in community activities, as if they took the initiative to pull themselves out of society.
More rumored is that Xu Nana's problem has a young head.The Sunlight Network mentioned that she often rushed to the paper when she read the blog, and the pressure was so great that she couldn't sleep, but at that time everyone felt that "high academic qualifications had to be overcome", it wasn't the case.
Later, her spirit became worse and worse, even clothes and cooking depended on parents and mothers, and after she left, the 70-year-old father carried one, neither had experience, nor could he pull down his face to help, and finally overwhelmed himself.
Now the police are still looking for relatives in their hometown in Northeast China, and Xu Na's college classmates are also helping to contact them, fearing that no one will take care of their funeral affairs.
Some say "this family is so nice", and some say "if someone pulls a bit earlier, it's better."
In fact, this is not just a tragedy of a family, it is more like reminding us: no matter how much you have learned, no matter in which country, do not turn yourself into an island.
Don't be hard when you encounter a hurdle, talk to someone and ask for help, and it's not ashamed; If you see something wrong with your neighbor, ask more questions, and maybe you can avoid regrets.
After all, no matter how complete the system is, it cannot warm a door that is always closed; no matter how powerful a life is, it cannot withstand the slow consumption of loneliness and despair.
