With this letter, I want to be an example for people out there. Not to be misled or oppressed by drug people. They will always tell you that it’s an easy job, don’t believe it. This is my story and truth.
I came to Hong Kong to smuggle drugs for someone. They told me it was an easy job. Nothing could be further from the truth. They had hidden the drugs in a wheelchair where you couldn’t see them. When I arrived at Hong Kong airport, the police discovered the wheelchair and found the drugs. So people, no matter how they hide the drugs, the police will find them. Here in Hong Kong, if you get involved with drug gangs, you’ll go to jail for a long time.
And now I sit alone in prison. My whole life is ruined, I only bring sorrow to my family.
So people out there who read this letter, don’t start smuggling drugs. I urge everyone not to start with this, that’s why I’m telling you my story.
I am a 53-year-old man, my wife passed away in 2020. My father also passed away in 2022. My mother is now 86 years old, I don’t know if I will see her alive again.
Here I have gotten to know God better. I have changed my life, I pray every day and ask God for forgiveness. I work in prison, I talk to my fellow inmates about not getting involved in crime anymore. I will do my best to come out as a better person. I ask forgiveness from all of you, the judges, and the government of Hong Kong.
