Sunday is Father's Day, and while many children are thinking about how to celebrate with their father, 19-year-old Arang (a pseudonym) was sentenced to 32 months in prison last year for drug trafficking. When he was in prison, A Lang was greatly moved to see that his parents never gave up on him. Originally rebellious, he finally realized the value of family affection. A few days ago, through the parent-child activity organized by the Tai Tam Gorge Correctional Institution, he offered his father hand-brewed coffee before Father's Day as a token of his heart. His father ate the bitter coffee, bitter but sweet, "the best Father's Day gift is not money, but he is back on track."

A Lang is the eldest son of the family. He began to be unwilling to study in the second year of junior high school, often skipping school and failing to hand in his homework, and met a class of friends with triad backgrounds in the stadium. Ah Lang's father did not like him to associate with those "friends". He thought that his father had no right to interfere with him to make friends, so the two father and son often quarreled. For this reason, A Lang ran away from home many times, and his father also called the police many times.

Father Lang smiles with joy.

Ah Lang said that after running away from home, he spent all his savings; his "friend" encouraged him to sell drugs to make quick money, and A Lang promised to make a big mistake and was sentenced to 32 months in prison last year. After his arrest, none of his "friends" came to visit. Ah Lang laments that "it is really a disaster to fly separately." on the contrary, in the early days of his prison, his family kept buying daily necessities for him and caring for him, which finally made him realize that his family was the most important. "I regret that I didn't stay at home much, and if I had something to say to my family, I couldn't share it right away."

Six months ago, A Lang attended a coffee shop operation course offered by the Correctional Services Department to learn coffee blending and pastry making skills. A few days ago, at a parent-child activity in prison, A Lang brought his father the first cup of hand-made coffee. In addition to celebrating Father's Day early, he also hoped to use this cup of coffee to repair his relationship with his father. Although the coffee tasted bitter, his father drank it with delight. Ah Lang's father said that he was happiest to see his son change. He knew how to correct his mistakes. He hoped that when he got out of prison, he could go back to the right path.
