FUNG To-sun, Sunny, who turned 64 this year, once set foot in the limbo between justice and evil. Sunny’s father was once a prison guard of the Correctional Services Department, and thus he was raised at the Staff Quarters near the Stanley Prison since childhood. He was imbibed with his parents’ strenuous disciplines and was always reminded to live surefootedly and steer clear of criminal matters. Sunny applied to become a police officer when he was 18, and he said that he had worked painstakingly and solved many cases. Regrettably, he failed to withstand temptation when he was stationed at Wan Chai and became a drug addict, after which he even received drug injections. Later, he even knowingly violated the law and stole coins in parking meters for buying drugs, for which he was eventually apprehended by his colleagues and ended his career as a police officer with his own hands. During his fall into drug addiction, he even tried to end his life thrice. In 1981, the 27-year-old Sunny decided to take gospel drug treatment and fell from a law enforcer to a drug rehabilitee under supervision.
The anguish detoxification process granted Sunny with mixed feelings. After the detoxification, he was determined to help other drug rehabilitees. Therefore, he established a rehabilitation centre in Sai Kung in 1989 all by himself and during the 28 years since then, he has rescued numerous young people who fell into drug addiction. Although FUNG seems stern on the outside, every student and tutor in the rehabilitation centre can feel his love and care. Through witnessing the once drug-abusing young people getting back on track, Sunny also affirms that his efforts have not been spent in vain.
Looking back on his life so far, Sunny realises that there is only a fine line between good and evil, and he is grateful that he managed to return from evil and become an good father respected by both his students and his daughters!
