In 1986, he saw an advertisement for a restaurant job candidate with a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, so he came to Taipei from Chiayi, but found that the restaurant was actually an employment agency and sold him to Taipei.I gave it to the laundromat and asked him to pay an introduction fee of 3,500 yuan.

Tang Yingshen started working day and night, but his employer never informed him of his salary.One day, Tang Yingshen returned to the laundromat after going out for a drink, and was woken up by his employer again to continue working. Tang Yingshen asked to resign and wanted to get back his seized ID card, but his employer refused and claimed that his salary was not enough to repay the debt he had borrowed.There was a heated argument between the two parties, which then turned into a fight.Tang Yingshen hit his employer with a nail puller and killed his employer's wife who came after hearing the news.

《Port of lies》Prototype 2: The case of Keith Davis missing at sea in 2015

Kenny Dowson (Justin), a fishery observer who was mysteriously thrown overboard on the 16th, was also inspired by a real person: in 2015, an American fishery observer Keith Davis.

Keith Davis and his wife have four children. In 2015, he fell overboard and disappeared after boarding the Panamanian expedient vessel Chung Kuo 818. The cause of his death is unknown.The investigation pointed out that there was no wind or waves on the day Keith fell into the sea. The case involved the Jinlongda Group in Pingtung, and the Panama government directly closed the case without receiving the investigation report.

The case of “Keith Davis missing at sea” is not a special case. In fact, fishery observers from various countries often report news of his death.You may be wondering, why is “Fisheries Observer” so risky?Because in addition to registering quantities and sampling fish species, observers also have to report illegal fishing and other illegal activities, so they will naturally be isolated by the crew and captain.

According to reports, friends of Keith Davis described him as an upright man who would never remain silent when he saw illegal things happening. According to records, there were also many disputes between him and the crew of Chung Kuo No. 818.

《Port of lies》Prototype 3: 2016 Hechun No. 61 Incident

The name of the ship "Pingchun No. 16" in the movie and TV series is very similar to the name of the "Pingchun No. 61" tragedy that occurred in 2016, so it is considered to be a reference to this case as a prototype.

In 2016, the Hechun 61 sailed from Kaohsiung Port to the Pacific Ocean. There were 28 crew members on board, including 6 Vietnamese, 7 Filipinos, 13 Indonesians, and a Chinese captain.

The crew members were subjected to prolonged violence, assault with instruments, continuous verbal abuse, severe sleep deprivation, and working up to 20 hours a day.Among the Muslim crew members, they were forced to eat pork, and the captain even threatened to kill one of his employees the night before he was killed.

Four months later at night, six crew members broke into the captain's room and joined forces to kill the captain. The next day, the six crew members immediately confessed to the crime.The Supreme Court sentenced six people to 18 years in prison without the possibility of parole until half of the sentence. Even if they are paroled, they must return to Indonesia to serve the remainder of the sentence.As for the reason why the death penalty was not imposed, it was because these six crew members had been subjected to improper abuse and discrimination by the captain for a long time and received a reduced sentence.
