Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder, all things that I love to consume, and I know you do too, you sweet, twisted, beautiful, intellectually-minded freak. And today, today's a rough one, okay? A lot.
which is kind of concerning, a lot of you requested I go over the Hello Kitty case. Now, I've heard of this here and there. I hadn't heard all the details, and my lord, is it grim. So all the trigger warnings there, from torture to horror, hauntings, this case shocked all of Hong Kong and the world. And they called it one of the worst and most horrible sides of humanity ever seen.
So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seatbelts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust through this windshield into this gruesome case together. So born in 1976 in Shenzhen, China, Fan Manyi was a troubled child. It began with her living with her parents who decided to abandon her as a child, leaving her to end up in an all girls orphanage in Matawai.
And in the time she was there, she would never be adopted. And with an age limit set on taking care of young girls, she was sent into the world alone at the age of 15.
I didn't know how to tie my shoes at 15.
And as expected, it was an extremely hard life living out on the streets. She experienced the worst type of things and eventually she would get herself into the wrong crowd and get addicted to drugs. And this habit would lead her to rely on them as it happens with drugs. And the only way to afford said drugs is with money.
Therefore she had to get a job and that led her into falling into desperation, which led her into Lady of the Nighting, if you know what I mean. YouTube really doesn't like me using literally any type of terminology that involves Lady of the Nighting for some reason, which I think is weird because it's a very real thing.
But anyway, eventually at 21 years old, she was able to get a job at a brothel called Romance Villa in Shamshuipo, where she would be able to pay for her addiction. So right out the gate, I mean, she started off in a terrible situation
went through another terrible situation which was being in an orphanage and then was kicked down into the street at 15 years old and not that she is the villain at any point in the story but she is the victim and I feel like so many victims we see of serial killers or regular killers or just people wanting to take advantage of women specifically often come from this lifestyle and it's just it's heartbreaking but that is exactly what would happen to Fan Manyi.
