Yang Ming had a traffic accident on Majixian Gap Road in Mid-Levels in August 2020. He was charged with “careless driving” and other crimes. On December 22 last year, the appeal was rejected by the High Court and the original sentence was upheld. He was required to serve 18 days in prison immediately. Yang Ming was immediately sent to the Lai Chi Kok Detention Center and transferred to Stanley Prison on the 8th day of his sentence. Yang Ming was originally scheduled to complete his sentence tomorrow (8th), but because tomorrow is a public holiday, he was released early today (7th).
At about 7:30 in the morning, more than a dozen media were waiting outside Stanley Prison. Nearly 8:00, two correctional staff members taped off the roundabout outside the gate as a press area. The correctional staff took photos and questioned reporters at the scene. There are also 4 police officers at the scene to maintain order. Yang Ming’s girlfriend Zhuang Siming arrived at Stanley Prison at 9:05 a.m., ready to pick Yang Ming up to leave.
At 9:28 in the morning, Yang Ming’s accomplice showed up and explained to the correctional staff at the gate. After seeing Yang Ming appear, the two reunited and walked out the door, finally saying goodbye to their life behind bars. Previously, the correctional staff pointed out that Yang Ming would decide to speak to the media, but in the end he went straight. What he saw at the scene, he was wearing a blue jacket and a white tee, frowning, and asked him how he was feeling and the first thing he wanted to do when he came out. He didn’t respond to anything, just said morning, and then boarded Zhuang Siming’s car with the manager, during which Siming got off the car and waved to Yang Ming to let him go.
However, Yang Ming did not return to the apartment immediately. At about 10 o’clock, Zhuang Siming drove straight to Tseung Kwan O TV City and stopped outside the TV building. Yang Ming, Siming and the manager got out of the car and entered the building.
