DR. CHUNG-LING LU- POSTHUMOUS AWARD OF QUEEN'S COMMENDATION

During a fire in the ten-storey building in which he lived

Dr. Lu left his flat and warned other residents from the 10th to 2nd floors of

their danger. He continued to rouse the occupants until overcome by heat

and smoke. Although eventually rescued he did not recover consciousness and

died.

Dr. Lu was a man of mature years and a doctor of medicine and know

well the danger in the course he took; yet with complete disregard for his

personal safety he continued until he reached the point in the building.

nearest the fire. His heroism undoubtedly saved the lives of some of the

seventy-two residents who were rescued from the building.
