This gave Liu the opportunity to continue his chemistry and forensics-based education along with intensive on-site training. He then returned to Hong Kong and joined the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau. Quickly crumbling under debts, he seeked additional income by volunteering for mine clearing duties in the provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi.Īfter two years of defusing hazardous ammunitions, Liu's abilities and bravery caught the attention of key personnel within the Hong Kong Police Force. Liu was 19 and could not support them both with his own income. It all came to a stop when Liu's father injured his back. As the ship breaking business began to dwindle out, Liu and his father took some demolition jobs under the table. At 10 years old, he fell in an oil tank while scavenging an old ship and ingested a large amount of toxins while trying to break free.
Growing up surrounded by hazardous materials and seeing their long-term effects on his fellow workers left Liu with an abiding respect for toxins and their effect on the human body.
Liu's early years were spent working alongside his father in the stripping obsolete tankers for raw materials and parts. He was raised by his father, who worked for a ship breaking company and often pulled double shifts. Liu Tze Long was born in Junk Bay (Tseung Kwan O).
