Hello there from prison
I’m bored to death! Haven’t even made a single sound the whole day.
I’ve been moved by the staff again, this time to cell no.9. So now I know handfoot KK is in cell no.10.
That explains why I haven’t seen him for so long. He doesn’t go out. He stays in his cell 24/7. You’ve got to admire his level of tolerance!
KK is optimistic. He has exceptional endurance. He asked me to name his daughter, so I suggested: “Sou Ho”. Its sound is taken from “Five Demands, Not One Less” (In Cantonese it is Ng Dai “Sou” Kau, Kuet Yat Bat “Ho”). He is not the biological father of his daughter. His girlfriend eventually dumped him and turned state witness.
I was worried about him. But he seemed okay. “Since nothing can be changed, I’d rather face it. Maybe it’s more relieving this way.”
He has a point. Confined behind the walls, we can’t help with many things. If we can’t change the situation, we’ll change our mindset.
In the past month B has lost his family member, KK and KW have both gone through a lot……, everyone has sacrificed so much.
Handfeet! We’re like a family, at times we argue, at times we pick on each other; sometimes it’s funny how we help each other out without even saying. Maybe that’s what we call “a community of common destiny”.
On this day next year, we probably would have been sentenced. We’ll go different ways and cherish this moment in our hearts.
Since my move to cell no. 9, I sense something different about KK. He started talking to himself. Holy cow! Being put in solitary confinement this long is driving him crazy! Handfeet, please help me search on the internet the effects of solitary confinement!
