= Solution

On the <probability space> $([0,1],\mathcal B,\lambda)$, let
$$
f_n=n\mathbf1_{(0,1/n)}.
$$
For every $x\in[0,1]$, eventually $x\notin(0,1/n)$, so $f_n(x)\to0$. Nevertheless,
$$
\int_0^1f_n\,d\lambda=1
$$
for every $n$. Consequently
$$
\int\liminf_nf_n\,d\lambda=0
<1=\liminf_n\int f_n\,d\lambda.
$$
This gives <strict inequality in Fatou lemma>.
