Sister posted a message on Instagram
Each time I explain [what had happened], I can’t help but cry.
I am very grateful to all of you who had paid attention to this matter and had worked hard to help forward our appeal [to find my sister] via social media. To every person and every voice and for your concern, I am very grateful.
The local police had confirmed that she was found on 18 January 2022, 11.30pm by the waterside. She was identified from her fingerprints.
Maybe death to her was a form of release. Though she may have experienced the kindness around her, she was unable to ignore the malice in her life. She knew that she shouldn’t have [done what she had done] and she had previously sent out signals of distress. She had tried her very best, but she simply was unable to set them aside. She has chosen to end her pain in her own way. She does not want us to be sad. She is a person who will not cause trouble to others.
I still remember the last call we had, and I was talking about how I had called grandma to help her with the New Year’s groceries. Grandma told me that [the duty of looking after] the house will eventually be passed to you. My daily conversations with you were always full of these dialogues [about our family and your mental state], and it hurts to listen to your uncertainties. I feel so helpless but you were willing to share them with me, and, at least, this was better than you keeping them all to yourself.
I’m sorry that I’ve not been a good sister, but I’ll try my very best to live for you. In the next life, I am not going to live out that part of your life for you. Let’s be together [again as sisters in our next life], is that okay [with you]?
