Just for stepping in to confront someone over an electric scooter they were tampering with, a man lost his life.
A little after 8 p.m. on November 6, near Frederick Way in Melbourne’s CBD, 47-year-old Chinese food delivery rider Feng Jianming was stabbed in the chest during a confrontation and died at the scene. Another rider, aged 34, was injured and taken to hospital. The following day, police arrested a 51-year-old suspect in Footscray.
Feng came to Australia in 2017 to make a living. He leaves behind a wife and child to support. After the incident, the Chinese Consulate-General in Melbourne got involved, contacted his family, and spoke with the Premier of Victoria. The food delivery platform said it would cover the family’s visa and travel expenses to Australia and provide them with financial assistance.
Starting November 7, flowers and candles filled the lawn in front of the State Library Victoria, where many local residents and members of the Chinese community gathered spontaneously to pay their respects. This is not only a family’s tragedy; it has also once again laid bare the safety risks faced by food delivery riders working late at night overseas.
Far from home, everyone who works through the night to support their family has it tough. May Feng rest in peace, and may there be a just outcome.
