A Second Chance for Kah Poh

家庭背景：
Kah Poh，44岁，目前与父亲同住。母亲已于2020年9月因乳癌离世。父亲从事建筑相关工作（地砖铺设），收入并不稳定，有工程时才有收入，没有工程时便没有收入。两人之间的相处方式较为传统内敛，平时沟通不多，通常在有需要时才会交流。

工作背景：
家宝曾因涉及毒品相关案件被判刑，服刑长达20年。出狱后，他需要重新适应社会，包括重新申请身份证、学习使用智能手机，以及重新熟悉日常生活的节奏。

目前，他已经成功找到一份工作，并正在努力适应新的工作环境与生活方式，一步一步重新开始。

愿望：
1. 找到并维持一份稳定的工作，自力更生
2. 考取摩托或汽车驾照
3. 修缮祖宅

愿望原因：
出狱后，他希望能够逐步建立稳定的生活，通过工作维持基本收入，并承担起照顾父亲的责任。同时，考取驾照可以让他在日常生活与工作上更方便行动。

此外，祖宅年久失修，整体已有老化情况，尤其在雨天时会出现漏水问题，需要进行修理与维护。希望通过修缮，让居住环境更加安全与稳定，也减轻生活上的不便。

For 20 years, Kah Poh’s life stood still.

After being convicted in a drug-related case, he spent two decades behind bars. By the time he was released, the world outside had changed dramatically. Everyday tasks that many take for granted had become unfamiliar to him. He had to reapply for his identity card, learn how to use a smartphone, and slowly readjust to the rhythm of daily life.

Returning home also meant returning to a quieter life with his father. Today, the 44-year-old lives with him in their ancestral home. Since his mother passed away from breast cancer in September 2020, they have relied on one another. His father continues to work in floor tile installation whenever construction projects are available, but the income is uncertain. Without projects, there is no income. Like many traditional father-and-son relationships, they are both reserved, speaking only when necessary rather than expressing their feelings openly.

Despite the challenges of starting over after 20 years, Kah Poh has taken an important first step. He has successfully secured a job and is working hard to adapt to his new work environment and rebuild his life one day at a time.

His hopes for the future are simple, yet deeply meaningful.

He hopes to find and maintain stable employment so that he can become self-reliant and shoulder the responsibility of caring for his father. He also wishes to obtain a motorcycle or car driving licence, allowing him to travel more conveniently for both work and daily life.

Most importantly, he hopes to repair the ancestral home where he and his father continue to live. Years of ageing have taken their toll on the house, and during rainy days, water leaks through the roof, making repairs and maintenance necessary. By restoring the home, he hopes to create a safer and more stable place for both of them while easing the daily inconveniences they currently face.

For Kah Poh, rebuilding life is not about erasing the past. It is about embracing the opportunity to begin again—finding dignity through honest work, caring for the only family he has left, and restoring not only the house he calls home, but also the future he is determined to build.
