Hong Kong teenager found safe after seven-day rescue effort - a look at search and rescue history in the city nation


The discovery of a missing Hong Kong teenager alive and well in a country park marked the latest in a string of high-profile searches in recent years, although many of the others lost were less fortunate.

Firefighters found Matthew Tsang Hin-chit, 17, in bushes near Lo Shue Tin in Ma On Shan Country Park about 100 metres (328 feet) from a hiking track on Wednesday afternoon, ending a seven-day search. He was in a stable condition.
