Tsai Meng-chia and his girlfriend Huang Ruo-hsin, both just 21, died in the rubble
The bodies of Tsai Meng-chia and his girlfriend Huang Ruo-hsin, both just 21, were found by rescuers on what used to be the 15th storey of the Weiguan Jinlong residential building, which collapsed after the magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Taiwan’s south-western Tainan City.
The couple had been known by their friends to have a loving relationship
Over 55 people have already died from the devastating earthquake
Tsai and Huang, who both attended Tainan’s Kun Shan University, studying electrical engineering and fashion design, respectively, had been known by their friends as having a loving relationship.
Rescue operations are underway to rescue trapped people

The heart-breaking images of the couple’s bodies being removed from the rubble have also strengthened public resolve to see the former contractors of the Weiguan Jinlong building punished for allegedly using sub-standard material including tin cans during the construction of the building.
Three arrests have been made so far, with authorities detaining the former developer, as well as two executives of the construction company.
