keep an eye out guys.

NOT my grandma by the way.

She speaks ONLY Mandarin. Just call 9-1-1 if you cant communicate.

If you're walking in the area, take a peek into ditches or wooded areas if possible.


Search and rescue crews haven't had any luck finding an elderly woman reported missing Thursday in Burnaby.
Yu Lan Rou Lin is 79-years old, doesn't speak english and suffers from severe dementia.
Haylee Chiang is her grand-daughter.

"She's like anybody else's grandma. She took care of me when I was little. I was never put in pre-school or anything like that, like, she was the one that took care of me."

Other than one possible siting at the Metrotown Bread Garden, Rou Lin hasn't been seen since she left her family's store on Imperial Street around 4pm Thursday.
Anyone who spots her should call 9-1-1.
She's likely wearing a red hat and grey fleece jacket.

Edit: unfortunately, she was found dead in a wooded area. RIP :(

waiting to hear the cause of death....natural cause or foul play?


The Burnaby RCMP has located the body of Yu Lan ROU LIN who went missing on March 15th. Regrettably, she was found by a passer-by in a wooded area near the 6200 block of 9th Avenue in South Burnaby. At this time the police are not treating this as a suspicious death. The family is requesting privacy during this difficult time.

The Officer in Charge of Burnaby RCMP Detachment, Chief Superintendent Critchley, said, I offer my condolences to the family during this difficult time. I would also like to express my gratitude to the public and to the many volunteers who assisted in the search for Yu Lan ROU LIN.

^ IIRC you need 500 posts or something to get the button

tragedy could have been avoided if the grandma wasn't brought to Canada on visitor visas. Everyday I see so many elderly people, presume they are the parents of the immigrants, strolling the streets all over vancouver. My thought is what good do these old chinese citizens bring to canada? answer is nothing. they are visitors they don't contribute anything.

What do YOU contribute? In ur logic I guess you shouldn't even walk out of your house then if you don't "contribute" to Canada every time :rukidding:

Im pretty sure they get Visitor visas to visit canada.

My mom's about to turn 90 and my mother in law hit 80. Neither of them have dementia, but it's scary when you get that old. My mom can't get far because of bad legs, but more worried about her falling and breaking her hip.

If you guys have grandparents, get to know them and cherish the time you share with them.

I argue with my mom all the time, but my children adore their grandma. Her cooking is second to none. So glad to see them care for her when they get the chance. My children are the reason she wants to keep going strong.

You're the biggest fucking fagget ever with a comment like that. What do you expect the elderly to do? Come to Canada and get jobs so they can "contribute" to society for the rest of their lives? I feel sorry for anyone that has to come in contact with such a inconsiderate piece of shit like you.

This was one of the moments where you should of kept your opinion to yourself because you're dumb as a rock. Try telling your parents in the future to not roam the streets and stay home all day because they're not contributing to society.

Even old people contribute to the Canadian soceity, when they arrive, comsuption goes up, and they pay taxes for the stuff they consume; this consumption might not be much, but if you add up everyone, it actually creates job for our local people to produce that consumption.

People with Dementia/Alzheimer's just get up on their own and leave. Some look for a place they recall from their childhood. This happens often.

Dementia and wandering | Better Health Channel (http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Dementia_and_wandering?open)

A good friend of mine has a wife who suffers from Alzheimer's. They both shared so much together and it hurts him that she cannot recognize or remember him or other family members. There's nothing you can do, except continue to look after them. So sad. Closest thing to hell on earth - such a strain on the family. The body is fine, but the mind is not there. Cruel joke by life.

My grandma does that and yes we care and no, there's nothing we can do about it. A lot of old Chinese grandma's are very frugal and sees this as some sort of hobby to them.

It's not as bad now but when I was younger, she would always bring me old junk she finds in people's backyard and trash and ask if they are still in working condition. She's brought stuff like microwaves, old video games systems, old phones, cd players, tape players, etc.

We own the house next to us and she's been living in the basement suite for a long time now. We rent the top suite out. She likes to live on her own.

She would have these huge garbage bags full of cans and make me drive her to the recycle place to exchange for cash.

It's quite embarrassing but she knows I'm the only one out of my family who doesn't really yell at her for doing these things. I care bare to break her heart as well I guess. But I definitely do not agree with her doing this as if she is a hobo.

Once she promised me it was the last time she would do it but she lied.

03-25-2012, 01:24 AM
It's because they lived in a different time eh, unlike us we have everything. You can say it was because of their choices/sacrifice we were able to have what we have eh. I do disagree with elders picking up cans, but it's difficult to stop when they have been doing it for so many years eh.

I'm guilty of doing this. Used to think if I was a block ahead, I had a lot of freedom and independence. Let me say this; I regret doing that and spending time on the computer instead of spending it with grandpa. As a kid who spent almost as much time at the grandparents house, as you do at your own house, the eventual death will really kick you in the face with regrets. :tears:

This was during elementary school. In high school and beyond, I make sure they get the love and respect they deserve.

That should go towards everyone you know that is close to you though. I'll try to keep this story short...I had 2 close older family members visiting my house one day. I saw them all the time since they were very close to my family so I guess I often took their presence for granted. When they arrived, I said hello and whatnot and quickly scurried off to my room. When they were leaving, I didn't even have the decency to get out of my room to say bye to them, and instead pretended like I didn't hear that they were leaving...That was the last time I saw one of them as he passed in a tragic car accident...and you can bet your ass that, till today, I beat myself up over not even having the decency to get up and say goodbye. I know it's something small, but it really is something that sticks with you forever...Just kills me inside when I think about it...

Anyway, my point is, try not to take anyone's presence in your life for granted. You never know if you'll ever see them again...
