Hong Kong Gamblers Recovery Center.
3 01:00:49:14 01:00:52:11 00:00:02:21
I want to ask, is it…
4 01:00:52:16 01:00:55:03 00:00:02:12
well, how should I say it?
5 01:00:55:07 01:00:57:16 00:00:02:09
Is it hopeless?
6 01:00:59:23 01:01:02:16 00:00:02:17
Nothing is hopeless.
7 01:01:04:02 01:01:05:14 00:00:01:11
Well, that’s true.
8 01:01:05:18 01:01:07:18 00:00:02:00
But the temptation of gambling
9 01:01:07:22 01:01:10:13 00:00:02:15
is stronger for you than paying rent.
10 01:01:10:23 01:01:15:05 00:00:04:07
I am just worried about you.
Can you please not go gambling?
11 01:01:17:06 01:01:18:21 00:00:01:14
Alright?
12 01:01:22:03 01:01:23:22 00:00:01:18
Can you do that?
13 01:01:24:01 01:01:25:16 00:00:01:14
Can you please try?
14 01:05:02:10 01:05:06:02 00:00:03:17
When I was a teenager I played cards
with my friends after school.
15 01:05:06:06 01:05:09:21 00:00:03:14
Gradually, it became big money gambling,
16 01:05:10:00 01:05:14:09 00:00:04:09
especially after I started working.
17 01:05:14:14 01:05:17:05 00:00:02:16
It has been over ten years now.
18 01:05:23:22 01:05:25:12 00:00:01:14
How much have you lost?
19 01:05:25:16 01:05:27:09 00:00:01:17
Over €100,000
20 01:05:29:11 01:05:33:20 00:00:04:09
Not only gambling in casinos,
but also football betting.
21 01:05:34:16 01:05:37:22 00:00:03:06
There were several times that I lost
€8,000 - €10,000 betting on football.
22 01:05:53:12 01:05:55:11 00:00:01:24
So your family helps you repay your debt?
23 01:05:55:21 01:05:56:17 00:00:00:21
Yes.
24 01:05:58:02 01:06:01:01 00:00:02:24
Nothing's changed.
I haven’t stopped gambling
25 01:06:03:17 01:06:06:07 00:00:02:15
They keep helping me to repay the debt,
26 01:06:06:11 01:06:07:19 00:00:01:07
but I keep gambling.
27 01:06:08:10 01:06:13:00 00:00:04:15
I don’t know what more to say.
I have no feeling at all, no feelings.
28 01:06:56:20 01:07:03:05 00:00:06:10
I remember earning €5,000 in the
first week I learnt to buy stocks.
29 01:07:04:04 01:07:07:23 00:00:03:19
But then I lost €30,000
in less than three months.
30 01:07:27:24 01:07:30:12 00:00:02:13
I told my wife about the loss.
31 01:07:32:01 01:07:38:18 00:00:06:16
She was willing to help, and so
we borrowed €30,000 from friends.
32 01:07:40:11 01:07:44:07 00:00:03:21
But, when I nearly finished
paying back the €30,000 debt,
33 01:07:44:12 01:07:49:05 00:00:04:18
I failed again and
this time owed €50,000.
34 01:07:49:09 01:07:52:03 00:00:02:18
And I didn’t only buy stocks,
35 01:07:52:22 01:07:55:13 00:00:02:16
I did many kinds of gambling,
36 01:07:55:18 01:07:58:19 00:00:03:01
I even went to the casinos in Macau.
37 01:08:03:06 01:08:07:06 00:00:04:00
I want to sweep the floor
before they come home.
38 01:08:09:06 01:08:13:15 00:00:04:09
I suddenly had nightmares.
I dreamt them for two whole weeks.
39 01:08:13:19 01:08:17:11 00:00:03:16
In the dream he was chopped
to death by a loanshark.
40 01:08:20:06 01:08:24:04 00:00:03:23
He knew that I prayed
all the time for him to change.
41 01:08:26:01 01:08:30:11 00:00:04:10
I prayed all the time,
but he still didn't change.
42 01:08:32:01 01:08:37:03 00:00:05:02
God, we thank you for the food
we serve on the table...
43 01:08:37:09 01:08:39:19 00:00:02:10
I had such a good family.
44 01:08:39:23 01:08:44:13 00:00:04:14
My wife never asked
for luxury,food or clothes.
45 01:08:45:01 01:08:48:11 00:00:03:10
She only wanted her husband
not to gamble. That simple.
46 01:08:48:16 01:08:50:03 00:00:01:12
My kids were the same.
47 01:08:50:07 01:08:53:03 00:00:02:21
They just wanted their
father not to gamble.
48 01:08:53:07 01:08:55:01 00:00:01:19
...may our wishes come true.
49 01:08:55:05 01:08:56:15 00:00:01:09
OK, dinner time!
50 01:09:01:04 01:09:03:09 00:00:02:05
I have a good family.
51 01:09:05:15 01:09:08:21 00:00:03:06
Why did I end up like this?
52 01:09:31:16 01:09:32:22 00:00:01:06
Is everything okay?
53 01:09:35:10 01:09:41:11 00:00:06:01
You helped him out selling your
shares and your car.
54 01:09:44:01 01:09:46:09 00:00:02:07
Give him some encouragement.
55 01:09:48:10 01:09:53:01 00:00:04:16
Remind him not to repeat his mistakes.
56 01:10:18:10 01:10:20:17 00:00:02:07
Hello Mrs. Cheng, this is Wu.
57 01:10:23:10 01:10:27:13 00:00:04:02
Are you feeling better now,
how are things?
58 01:10:34:11 01:10:36:23 00:00:02:12
You're still seeing a psychiatrist.
59 01:10:37:03 01:10:38:22 00:00:01:19
Keep consulting them.
60 01:10:39:02 01:10:43:12 00:00:04:10
Mr Cheng came to see me two weeks ago.
61 01:10:49:11 01:10:51:05 00:00:01:19
He said he hasn't been gambling.
62 01:10:51:15 01:10:54:20 00:00:03:04
He brought a friend with him
who also needed our help.
63 01:10:55:19 01:10:57:19 00:00:02:00
Mr Cheng looks so much better now.
64 01:10:59:24 01:11:01:24 00:00:02:00
Lets hope he can quit gambling.
65 01:11:04:08 01:11:06:11 00:00:02:03
You can deal with this,
66 01:11:06:16 01:11:10:01 00:00:03:10
don't do anything stupid.
67 01:11:14:23 01:11:16:23 00:00:02:00
You thought about suicide?
68 01:11:18:16 01:11:24:03 00:00:05:12
Don't think about it anymore,
the kids need you.
69 01:11:30:02 01:11:33:00 00:00:02:22
Remember to take good care of yourself.
70 01:12:17:20 01:12:19:10 00:00:01:14
Money is not everything.
71 01:12:19:14 01:12:22:14 00:00:02:24
You can’t pay people
to have dinner with you.
72 01:12:23:02 01:12:28:00 00:00:04:23
When your family loses
all confidence in you,
73 01:12:28:04 01:12:30:15 00:00:02:10
money can’t help.
74 01:12:36:19 01:12:39:14 00:00:02:20
The values have changed.
75 01:12:40:16 01:12:45:05 00:00:04:14
It is Hong Kong’s culture
to put money in the first place.
76 01:12:46:00 01:12:49:17 00:00:03:17
It’s like we’re competing
with each other.
77 01:13:16:03 01:13:17:15 00:00:01:12
What’s up?
78 01:13:19:03 01:13:20:16 00:00:01:13
Are you going to work?
79 01:13:29:10 01:13:31:08 00:00:01:22
Wow, you're well-built.
80 01:13:32:14 01:13:34:09 00:00:01:20
Haven’t you finished your
Chinese New Year holidays?
81 01:13:34:18 01:13:35:21 00:00:01:02
No, not yet.
82 01:13:41:20 01:13:43:16 00:00:01:20
I wake up at 10 everyday.
83 01:13:43:20 01:13:46:16 00:00:02:21
Brush my teeth, wash my face
and then go to work.
84 01:13:46:20 01:13:50:07 00:00:03:11
I go online, I bet on football.
That’s the way it is.
85 01:13:50:11 01:13:52:08 00:00:01:22
Everyday is the same.
86 01:14:03:23 01:14:06:11 00:00:02:13
The CSL Million Challenge Races
are tomorrow night.
87 01:14:06:16 01:14:10:05 00:00:03:14
There’s a €1 coupon for food
and drink at the racecourse.
88 01:14:11:05 01:14:13:22 00:00:02:17
You can’t buy anything with €1,
you’ll spend more than that.
89 01:14:14:02 01:14:16:03 00:00:02:01
They are sending you to hell.
90 01:14:16:23 01:14:19:05 00:00:02:06
None of these are worth betting on.
91 01:14:19:10 01:14:21:15 00:00:02:04
I won’t stop betting until I win.
92 01:14:22:05 01:14:25:24 00:00:03:19
How much would you win
on a very lucky day?
93 01:14:26:04 01:14:29:24 00:00:03:20
Around €3,000 to €4,000.
94 01:14:31:16 01:14:34:24 00:00:03:08
Usually one of the bets
is to cover a loss.
95 01:14:35:03 01:14:37:09 00:00:02:05
I won’t put €5,000 on one bet.
96 01:14:38:18 01:14:41:08 00:00:02:14
Around €3,000 to €4,000.
97 01:14:46:07 01:14:48:03 00:00:01:21
Let’s do something at the betting shop.
98 01:14:48:13 01:14:49:22 00:00:01:09
Like what?
99 01:14:51:00 01:14:54:04 00:00:03:03
Place a bet on the football teams.
100 01:14:56:13 01:14:58:15 00:00:02:01
I won’t make a bet.
101 01:14:59:21 01:15:01:21 00:00:01:24
My trousers keep falling down.
102 01:15:02:01 01:15:03:12 00:00:01:11
So do mine.
103 01:15:06:00 01:15:08:18 00:00:02:17
Odds for the World Cup
matches are already available.
104 01:15:09:17 01:15:12:03 00:00:02:11
The Jockey Club is pushing people to hell.
105 01:15:12:07 01:15:13:22 00:00:01:14
They have the odds so soon.
106 01:15:14:04 01:15:15:08 00:00:01:04
Is it worth a bet?
107 01:15:15:20 01:15:19:14 00:00:03:19
Which country has won
the most World Cups?
108 01:15:19:19 01:15:22:15 00:00:02:21
- Either Brazil or...
-Argentina?
109 01:15:22:19 01:15:26:04 00:00:03:10
Argentina, Italy or France
are most likely to win.
110 01:15:26:09 01:15:27:22 00:00:01:13
Only these teams?
111 01:15:28:03 01:15:30:05 00:00:02:02
This year Spain is also
one of the favourites.
112 01:15:30:09 01:15:32:24 00:00:02:14
But once it becomes a favourite,
it’s luck will go down.
113 01:15:33:00 01:15:34:00 00:00:01:00
Is that so?
114 01:15:34:12 01:15:36:12 00:00:02:00
- Buy a lottery ticket.
- No.
115 01:15:36:16 01:15:39:00 00:00:02:08
Buy a lottery ticket.
You are here anyway.
116 01:15:41:14 01:15:44:20 00:00:03:06
I’ll buy a lottery ticket.
I seldom buy Mark Six.
117 01:15:44:24 01:15:47:22 00:00:02:22
- Do you have a pen?
- You go and buy it.
118 01:15:48:17 01:15:50:13 00:00:01:20
I'll wait for you here.
119 01:16:01:07 01:16:04:11 00:00:03:04
I gave up sleep for gambling.
I was young and ignorant.
120 01:16:04:16 01:16:06:24 00:00:02:08
You’re still like
that in your twenties.
121 01:16:07:03 01:16:09:16 00:00:02:13
Gambling made me
happy and excited.
122 01:16:09:21 01:16:13:09 00:00:03:13
I thought I had found
a way to prove myself.
123 01:16:13:13 01:16:14:11 00:00:00:22
It was cool.
124 01:16:14:17 01:16:17:02 00:00:02:10
Gambling comes in a trio.
125 01:16:17:06 01:16:20:07 00:00:03:00
- Trio?
- Prostitution, gambling and drugs.
126 01:16:20:16 01:16:23:10 00:00:02:18
Gambling brings the other two.
127 01:16:23:14 01:16:25:19 00:00:02:04
- And smoking.
- Yes, all together.
128 01:16:26:17 01:16:32:07 00:00:05:15
I was naive and found them enjoyable.
129 01:16:32:16 01:16:38:19 00:00:06:02
Remember the Marlboro advertisement?
The awesome cowboy on horseback?
130 01:16:44:05 01:16:49:08 00:00:05:02
I smoked while I gambled.
I thought it was so cool.
131 01:16:50:12 01:16:53:05 00:00:02:18
How exciting and
pleasurable that was!
132 01:16:53:09 01:16:56:02 00:00:02:17
I went gambling with a gang of friends.
133 01:16:56:06 01:16:57:14 00:00:01:07
We were so happy.
134 01:16:57:18 01:17:00:13 00:00:02:19
You don’t really have to put in much time
135 01:17:00:17 01:17:01:18 00:00:01:00
to learn gambling.
136 01:17:02:12 01:17:05:16 00:00:03:04
It took a very short time
to learn the skills.
137 01:17:05:21 01:17:09:10 00:00:03:14
Other hobbies, such as
cooking or studying,
138 01:17:09:15 01:17:14:00 00:00:04:10
require you to learn for
a long time with slow progress.
139 01:17:14:05 01:17:16:23 00:00:02:18
Gambling just takes a few hours to learn.
140 01:17:17:02 01:17:19:14 00:00:02:11
In two months you can master the skills.
141 01:17:20:21 01:17:24:12 00:00:03:16
Looking back now it was all useless.
My time was wasted.
142 01:17:24:17 01:17:27:21 00:00:03:04
Have you ever asked why you gambled?
143 01:17:28:00 01:17:31:08 00:00:03:08
I gambled, thinking that
I had the freedom to do so.
144 01:17:31:13 01:17:37:05 00:00:05:17
I can gamble whenever I like,
no one has the right to stop me.
145 01:17:37:09 01:17:40:10 00:00:03:01
It’s up to me to decide
whether I will gamble or not.
146 01:17:40:14 01:17:43:00 00:00:02:11
Whether I will win is also my decision.
147 01:17:43:05 01:17:46:21 00:00:03:16
I will win if I’m lucky,
and lose if I’m out of luck.
148 01:17:47:00 01:17:48:19 00:00:01:18
It’s all under my control.
149 01:17:48:23 01:17:50:22 00:00:01:24
But I was very much mistaken.
150 01:17:51:01 01:17:53:06 00:00:02:05
I used to think that
I could act upon my own will,
151 01:17:53:11 01:17:56:20 00:00:03:09
but it was the addiction
to gambling which controlled me.
152 01:17:56:24 01:18:00:16 00:00:03:16
Now that I overcame my addiction,
I found true freedom.
153 01:18:01:15 01:18:04:15 00:00:03:00
This is the strange thing about gambling.
154 01:18:04:19 01:18:10:09 00:00:05:14
You don’t realise the value
of freedom until you lose it.
01:18:25:17 01:18:27:00 00:00:01:07
Alright then.
01:18:27:20 01:18:30:10 00:00:02:14
You mean 29 millions ?
01:18:31:01 01:18:33:01 00:00:01:24
We pay up front, no problem.
01:18:34:22 01:18:38:05 00:00:03:07
No the high rate is only about the $200.000.
01:18:45:15 01:18:49:05 00:00:03:14
Don’t worry the funds.
Ok I’ll prepare the 6 million ready.
01:18:51:03 01:18:53:10 00:00:02:06
Ok? Alright then. Thank you. Bye Bye.
01:18:55:01 01:18:58:21 00:00:03:20
Well I’ve been in racing history,
01:18:59:16 01:19:01:21 00:00:02:05
I think over 30 years.
01:19:04:21 01:19:08:05 00:00:03:09
I like horses, I like horses very much, actually myself, you know what I mean?
01:19:09:05 01:19:13:03 00:00:03:22
When I’m young I was go
to racing with my friends.
01:19:15:18 01:19:18:04 00:00:02:10
It was very interesting, very interesting.
01:19:19:20 01:19:25:10 00:00:05:14
And out of that I started gamble, started playing small bets,
10 dollar, 10 dollar bet, you know?
01:19:26:04 01:19:30:21 00:00:04:16
You know the fun you know, you can mix .
Sometimes you can make really big money with 10 dollars.
01:19:32:13 01:19:35:18 00:00:03:05
Well… suppose, let’s say,
you bet 10 dollars you can make 10.000.
01:19:56:04 01:19:57:16 00:00:01:11
Oh shit…
01:19:58:01 01:20:00:00 00:00:01:24
I got to place 200 anyway…
01:20:04:06 01:20:08:19 00:00:04:12
For beginning of course I don’t know how much,
I don’t know too much about the horses.
01:20:09:16 01:20:15:22 00:00:06:05
But then I stared to learn more
about horses, betting.
01:20:16:24 01:20:22:08 00:00:05:08
Then I started after a couple of years
I started learning how to win.
01:20:23:07 01:20:26:00 00:00:02:17
And then, up to now, I’m ok.
01:20:27:02 01:20:32:06 00:00:05:04
Especially in the last year
2009 I make about totally 600000 dollars,
01:20:33:03 01:20:34:08 00:00:01:05
Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong dollars.
01:20:36:04 01:20:38:05 00:00:02:00
Totally, the whole year.
01:20:40:08 01:20:43:10 00:00:03:02
So normally I’m very sharp, very sharp.
01:20:43:16 01:20:46:01 00:00:02:09
On very small bet
I make very big money.
01:20:46:06 01:20:48:04 00:00:01:22
Hey just give me a hug.
01:20:49:14 01:20:52:04 00:00:02:14
First time?
You run my horse right?
01:20:52:07 01:20:54:00 00:00:01:18
Thank you.
- Thank you too.
01:20:56:00 01:21:00:19 00:00:04:18
This guy, ride
my first horse in Macao.
01:21:00:22 01:21:03:20 00:00:02:23
What’s the name of it?
The name is called “first horse”.
01:21:05:20 01:21:07:17 00:00:01:21
The great horse, right?
Remember?
01:21:08:05 01:21:09:20 00:00:01:15
This is the gentleman.
01:21:10:03 01:21:13:19 00:00:03:15
Now he is champion jockey in Macao.
01:21:14:13 01:21:16:00 00:00:01:12
Very powerful man.
01:21:17:01 01:21:19:14 00:00:02:13
You had to give power
to my horse today.
01:21:20:06 01:21:24:03 00:00:03:21
Give all your powers,
it’s ok anyways,
01:21:24:10 01:21:26:01 00:00:01:16
well done.
01:21:30:13 01:21:32:24 00:00:02:10
Look at the handsome horse, look at the handsome horse, look.
01:21:36:05 01:21:39:02 00:00:02:21
Right, it’s a big horse,
a big giant.
01:21:41:16 01:21:42:18 00:00:01:02
Thank you.
01:21:47:23 01:21:50:09 00:00:02:10
Let’s go now,
let’s mix something.
01:22:19:01 01:22:21:16 00:00:02:14
Yeah, we got it, we got it, let’s go…
01:22:49:10 01:22:51:03 00:00:01:18
I think…
01:22:52:01 01:22:58:00 00:00:05:23
all humans in the world, they, when they
are dreaming can be one day be millionaires.
01:22:59:04 01:23:03:06 00:00:04:01
I think most the people they want to make some lucky men.
01:23:03:24 01:23:05:19 00:00:01:19
They just want to try their luck.
01:23:10:11 01:23:12:15 00:00:02:03
So that makes people crazy.
155 01:23:48:03 01:23:50:00 00:00:01:22
Did you bring the racket?
156 01:23:51:14 01:23:54:24 00:00:03:10
Come now. It's in Island East,
I'm here already.
157 01:24:13:22 01:24:15:13 00:00:01:16
Am I good enough?
158 01:24:17:02 01:24:18:20 00:00:01:17
As good as Tse Hou?
159 01:24:37:08 01:24:39:15 00:00:02:07
I want a change in my life.
160 01:24:45:16 01:24:47:15 00:00:01:24
Life is about happiness?
161 01:24:48:09 01:24:50:03 00:00:01:19
How about me?
162 01:25:16:07 01:25:19:18 00:00:03:11
My life is normal, there’s really
nothing special about it.
163 01:25:27:08 01:25:30:08 00:00:03:00
I find gambling exciting. It’s fun.
164 01:25:30:12 01:25:33:22 00:00:03:09
You feel like you make money easily,
without making an effort.
165 01:25:34:11 01:25:36:16 00:00:02:05
I think it’s the desire for victory.
166 01:25:38:12 01:25:39:24 00:00:01:12
Excitement.
167 01:25:40:04 01:25:43:20 00:00:03:16
Maybe my working life is dull
and I want to have some excitement.
168 01:25:47:10 01:25:49:06 00:00:01:21
To reap without sowing.
169 01:25:49:10 01:25:52:01 00:00:02:15
It’s a simple, easy and
convenient way to make money.
170 01:25:53:00 01:25:55:12 00:00:02:12
That’s what I think.
171 01:26:04:17 01:26:06:19 00:00:02:02
Lets play Mah Jong!
172 01:26:08:11 01:26:10:12 00:00:02:01
Hey! Come on help!
173 01:26:11:04 01:26:14:00 00:00:02:21
Do we have to put anything else on top?
174 01:26:17:23 01:26:21:08 00:00:03:10
Play Mahjong! Mahjong!
175 01:26:23:07 01:26:26:07 00:00:03:00
How you can have it upside down?
176 01:26:26:23 01:26:30:03 00:00:03:04
Hey, why don’t you set
the table here instead?
177 01:26:31:00 01:26:33:15 00:00:02:15
Play Mahjong!
178 01:26:48:03 01:26:51:21 00:00:03:18
In Chinese culture, gambling is very
common in family gatherings.
179 01:26:52:12 01:26:57:09 00:00:04:22
It’s really true, for many years
you can see it in films.
180 01:26:58:04 01:27:00:03 00:00:01:24
People play for leisure,
181 01:27:00:03 01:27:06:07 00:00:06:04
but, maybe also because life
for many Chinese is very hard.
182 01:27:06:17 01:27:09:07 00:00:02:15
Money is very important to them.
183 01:27:09:11 01:27:13:03 00:00:03:17
They want to make money
without putting in any effort.
184 01:27:13:08 01:27:16:12 00:00:03:04
They have a huge hope
to win more money,
185 01:27:16:16 01:27:19:23 00:00:03:07
so they won't have
to work hard anymore.
186 01:27:20:03 01:27:24:17 00:00:04:14
In fact, most of us in China
were uneducated in the old times,
187 01:27:24:22 01:27:28:13 00:00:03:16
because of the Cultural Revolution.
188 01:27:28:23 01:27:32:14 00:00:03:16
So, people wanted to get rich
without making any effort.
189 01:27:32:19 01:27:35:08 00:00:02:14
They were poor, and
they wished to win
190 01:27:35:12 01:27:38:00 00:00:02:12
other people’s money,
and become rich.
191 01:27:38:14 01:27:46:07 00:00:07:18
Personally, I don’t think people like
gambling because of excitement.
192 01:27:46:12 01:27:51:07 00:00:04:20
I think it’s purely because
they want to escape a problem,
193 01:27:51:12 01:27:58:12 00:00:07:00
or when they’re unhappy,
they want to escape from reality.
194 01:27:59:02 01:28:05:13 00:00:06:11
They try to forget all this when gambling.
195 01:28:41:11 01:28:44:02 00:00:02:16
I hope tonight all of you,
196 01:28:44:06 01:28:45:13 00:00:01:07
will win more.
197 01:28:46:03 01:28:48:16 00:00:02:12
I hope tonight all of you,
198 01:28:48:21 01:28:50:18 00:00:01:22
will enjoy yourselves more.
199 01:28:50:23 01:28:53:03 00:00:02:05
Remember, at Sand's Casino,
200 01:28:53:07 01:28:55:02 00:00:01:19
there's plenty of fun and gambling.
201 01:28:55:06 01:28:57:12 00:00:02:06
So I hope that tonight you will all,
202 01:28:57:16 01:29:01:10 00:00:03:18
Get rich, get rich, get rich...
203 01:29:12:07 01:29:13:14 00:00:01:06
Good luck!
204 01:29:47:00 01:29:49:02 00:00:02:02
Was it good?
205 01:29:50:10 01:29:52:02 00:00:01:17
OK everybody,
206 01:29:52:09 01:29:55:07 00:00:02:23
I'm off work now,
I have to go home and sleep.
207 01:29:55:12 01:29:58:10 00:00:02:23
But you guys should not sleep,
because this is a casino.
208 01:29:58:14 01:30:01:05 00:00:02:16
If you fall asleep how would you
be able to win any money?
209 01:30:02:00 01:30:03:20 00:00:01:20
Keep trying harder!
210 01:30:04:00 01:30:07:11 00:00:03:11
Remember, a small knife
can cut down a big tree.
211 01:30:53:16 01:30:58:09 00:00:04:18
I didnt intend to gamble.
212 01:30:58:14 01:31:05:10 00:00:06:20
I came here to release
pressure and enjoy myself.
213 01:31:16:22 01:31:22:08 00:00:05:11
I’ve never counted
how much money I’ve spent.
214 01:32:39:20 01:32:45:16 00:00:05:21
I used to be a doctor’s assistant,
215 01:32:45:21 01:32:52:09 00:00:06:13
and also a receptionist
at a Chiuchow restaurant.
216 01:32:52:19 01:32:58:20 00:00:06:01
Then I worked as a mamasan
in a nightclub for a short time.
217 01:33:00:17 01:33:07:11 00:00:06:19
My life was smooth. Things were ok.
218 01:33:08:09 01:33:11:22 00:00:03:13
I don’t have any close friends now.
219 01:33:12:11 01:33:19:18 00:00:07:07
Generally, I just have
friends for playing,
220 01:33:19:22 01:33:26:08 00:00:06:10
but I don't have good friends
who I can share with.
221 01:33:28:23 01:33:34:04 00:00:05:06
I just stay alone and come home
to sleep when I’m tired.
222 01:33:34:08 01:33:38:14 00:00:04:05
And then go out to drink, eat
or have fun when I’m bored.
223 01:33:39:10 01:33:43:11 00:00:04:01
On the way, I might find
someone nice to chat to.
224 01:33:44:06 01:33:47:12 00:00:03:06
Say "hello" and that’s all.
225 01:33:47:16 01:33:49:19 00:00:02:02
Nothing special.
226 01:33:57:18 01:34:01:16 00:00:03:22
In Macau, this gambling city,
there are no so-called close friends.
227 01:34:02:21 01:34:05:21 00:00:03:00
Everything will be all right
if you have money.
228 01:34:06:01 01:34:09:05 00:00:03:04
It’s a very realistic place,
a gambling city.
229 01:34:12:18 01:34:20:11 00:00:07:18
I gave birth to my daughter.
Then I divorced and raised her alone.
230 01:34:22:09 01:34:31:15 00:00:09:06
But she was not well-behaved.
So I was upset.
231 01:34:33:21 01:34:36:01 00:00:02:05
I put so much effort into her,
232 01:34:36:11 01:34:39:02 00:00:02:16
but she didn’t seem to be what I expected.
233 01:34:50:18 01:34:54:03 00:00:03:10
So I lived my own life.
234 01:35:39:14 01:35:43:20 00:00:04:06
I remember when I went
to a casino in Macau.
235 01:35:43:24 01:35:48:13 00:00:04:13
I played the number game.
236 01:35:48:24 01:35:53:23 00:00:04:24
Yes, the number I bet on won.
237 01:35:54:10 01:36:04:17 00:00:10:07
I remember everyone at the table
looked at me with envy.
238 01:36:05:04 01:36:11:01 00:00:05:22
It’s just a moment of happiness,
239 01:36:11:06 01:36:17:11 00:00:06:05
afterwards you still have
to face all your problems.
240 01:36:26:11 01:36:31:18 00:00:05:07
My wife couldn’t take it anymore.
She proposed divorce.
241 01:36:31:23 01:36:36:06 00:00:04:08
She told her brother to change
the locks, so I couldn’t go home.
242 01:36:37:11 01:36:40:15 00:00:03:04
I remember I slept in Southern
Playground for two nights.
243 01:36:40:20 01:36:44:04 00:00:03:09
On the first night I blamed my wife,
244 01:36:44:08 01:36:47:15 00:00:03:06
why couldn’t she give me one more chance?
245 01:36:47:19 01:36:51:10 00:00:03:16
I wouldn’t gamble again,
but she had already tolerated me
246 01:36:51:14 01:36:54:17 00:00:03:03
for many years, and I just
didn’t appreciate it.
247 01:36:55:00 01:36:58:23 00:00:03:23
I phoned and asked her to
have dinner with me.
248 01:36:59:06 01:37:02:19 00:00:03:13
She rejected me at once.
She said, “I’m still angry at you”,
249 01:37:02:24 01:37:06:05 00:00:03:06
“why I would have dinner with you?”
250 01:37:06:14 01:37:10:11 00:00:03:22
“But you can ask the kids if they
want to eat with you”
251 01:37:10:16 01:37:13:22 00:00:03:06
I was happy and thought that
even though my wife
252 01:37:14:01 01:37:17:04 00:00:03:02
didn’t want to eat with me,
253 01:37:17:08 01:37:20:07 00:00:02:23
I could still have my three kids with me,
254 01:37:20:11 01:37:24:01 00:00:03:14
so, I went back home and rang the doorbell
to pick them up.
255 01:37:24:19 01:37:27:16 00:00:02:21
But, nobody answered the door.
256 01:37:28:14 01:37:33:16 00:00:05:02
She told me later that
the kids were afraid of me
257 01:37:33:20 01:37:37:00 00:00:03:04
and hid at their uncle’s home.
258 01:37:37:14 01:37:42:04 00:00:04:15
That night, I went back
to the room that I rented,
259 01:37:42:08 01:37:45:23 00:00:03:14
I cried so badly
I soaked my blanket.
260 01:37:53:13 01:38:00:02 00:00:06:14
I recalled that when I still gambled,
there was a priest counseling me.
261 01:38:00:06 01:38:03:11 00:00:03:05
Of course, I didn't confess
I had a problem
262 01:38:03:16 01:38:06:02 00:00:02:11
when I was still crazy
about gambling,
263 01:38:06:06 01:38:13:12 00:00:07:05
but the priest said that
if I was a compulsive gambler,
264 01:38:13:16 01:38:17:01 00:00:03:10
I couldn’t quit on my own.
265 01:38:17:06 01:38:21:05 00:00:03:24
He said I had to rely on Jesus to quit.
266 01:38:21:09 01:38:25:01 00:00:03:17
When I recalled his words,
my knees suddenly went weak.
267 01:38:25:06 01:38:29:14 00:00:04:08
I was moved by the Holy Spirit
and knelt down in Southern Playground.
268 01:38:30:11 01:38:34:00 00:00:03:14
I finally understood.
269 01:38:34:21 01:38:41:02 00:00:06:06
On the second night I slept
in Southern Playground,
270 01:38:41:06 01:38:44:21 00:00:03:15
I had a revelation.
271 01:38:48:08 01:38:51:15 00:00:03:07
Lord, we do not deserve love,
272 01:38:51:20 01:38:54:21 00:00:03:01
but, because of your love,
we are reborn.
273 01:38:58:00 01:39:01:11 00:00:03:10
We are able to find meaning
in our existence again.
274 01:39:02:23 01:39:05:12 00:00:02:13
Tonight, for those who
have not yet gone through
275 01:39:05:16 01:39:08:14 00:00:02:22
the rebirth process, we pray
for a gamble free year.
276 01:39:10:15 01:39:13:19 00:00:03:04
We hope we wont get involved in gambling.
277 01:39:14:10 01:39:17:02 00:00:02:17
We hope we will have a pleasent life.
278 01:39:17:06 01:39:22:02 00:00:04:20
We hope to get rid of the burdens of debt.
279 01:39:22:16 01:39:26:18 00:00:04:02
We hope the pressure leaves us
280 01:39:27:02 01:39:30:01 00:00:02:23
and gambling will no longer cause
any worry to us.
281 01:39:30:17 01:39:34:05 00:00:03:12
Lord, please pass us your
message in the Holy Spirit.
282 01:39:37:03 01:39:39:05 00:00:02:02
Deep inside your heart,
283 01:39:39:10 01:39:41:07 00:00:01:22
you are uneasy,
284 01:39:41:12 01:39:43:14 00:00:02:02
you are unhappy,
285 01:39:43:19 01:39:45:09 00:00:01:15
you have sinned.
286 01:39:45:14 01:39:48:07 00:00:02:18
You have hurt your family,
287 01:39:48:12 01:39:50:20 00:00:02:08
you have disappointed God.
288 01:39:50:24 01:39:52:14 00:00:01:15
I am willing,
289 01:39:52:19 01:39:54:06 00:00:01:12
to admit my sin.
290 01:39:54:10 01:39:55:20 00:00:01:10
I beg you Jesus,
291 01:39:56:00 01:39:58:02 00:00:02:02
to use your precious blood,
292 01:39:58:07 01:40:00:05 00:00:01:23
to purify my sin.
293 01:40:00:10 01:40:02:12 00:00:02:02
I need you,
294 01:40:02:17 01:40:04:06 00:00:01:14
at this moment,
295 01:40:04:11 01:40:05:21 00:00:01:10
to comfort me.
296 01:40:06:01 01:40:08:05 00:00:02:04
I know you love me.
297 01:40:08:10 01:40:09:24 00:00:01:14
I need you.
298 01:40:10:04 01:40:11:18 00:00:01:14
I beg you Jesus,
299 01:40:11:23 01:40:13:07 00:00:01:09
to save me,
300 01:40:13:12 01:40:16:16 00:00:03:04
from this gambling problem.
301 01:40:16:21 01:40:19:17 00:00:02:21
I don't want to gamble anymore.
302 01:40:19:22 01:40:22:05 00:00:02:08
In the name of Jesus,
303 01:40:22:10 01:40:24:01 00:00:01:16
I pray,
304 01:40:24:06 01:40:28:00 00:00:03:19
I, Ah Fung, come to you today
I beg you to forgive my sin.
305 01:40:28:05 01:40:30:23 00:00:02:18
We pray that you grow in Ah Fung,
306 01:40:31:03 01:40:34:14 00:00:03:11
so that she may come to rely on you,
307 01:40:34:18 01:40:38:14 00:00:03:21
she will able to know you love her,
308 01:40:38:18 01:40:41:14 00:00:02:21
and become a family member
who doesn't gamble.
309 01:40:41:19 01:40:43:16 00:00:01:22
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
310 01:40:54:13 01:40:57:01 00:00:02:12
What’s your plan this year?
311 01:40:58:21 01:41:01:14 00:00:02:18
- No idea yet
- You should think about it
312 01:41:01:19 01:41:03:03 00:00:01:09
Ok.
313 01:41:03:07 01:41:06:14 00:00:03:06
Your mother said you have
improved a lot in the past year.
314 01:41:08:24 01:41:15:22 00:00:06:23
Life would be more meaningful
if you set yourself some targets.
315 01:41:17:08 01:41:21:14 00:00:04:06
You know the guy I played
table tennis with the other day?
316 01:41:21:19 01:41:24:01 00:00:02:07
I used to work with him.
He's an old guy,
317 01:41:24:05 01:41:28:18 00:00:04:12
he never used to gamble. We just
play table tennis from time to time.
318 01:41:29:14 01:41:32:17 00:00:03:02
He's started betting on table tennis
and talks about it all the time.
319 01:41:32:21 01:41:34:10 00:00:01:14
You can bet on Table Tennis?
320 01:41:34:14 01:41:42:10 00:00:07:20
Yes, because there are some
international table tennis matches.
321 01:41:42:14 01:41:48:13 00:00:05:23
I am very interested and asked him
to send me the website to have a look.
322 01:41:48:17 01:41:50:21 00:00:02:04
It’s tempting.
323 01:41:51:24 01:41:56:14 00:00:04:15
Sure because you like table tennis.
324 01:41:58:16 01:42:00:07 00:00:01:16
But you should know there is no sure win.
325 01:42:00:17 01:42:02:11 00:00:01:19
I’m confident that I will win.
326 01:42:03:10 01:42:06:20 00:00:03:10
The possibility of winning is low, right?
327 01:42:08:08 01:42:09:19 00:00:01:11
Hello?
328 01:42:12:20 01:42:14:21 00:00:02:01
Who’s calling?
329 01:42:16:11 01:42:19:14 00:00:03:03
Your colleague already
called this morning,
330 01:42:19:18 01:42:21:15 00:00:01:21
I don't need this service.
331 01:42:21:19 01:42:24:05 00:00:02:11
It’s about a loan service.
332 01:42:25:03 01:42:27:18 00:00:02:15
Why dont you say you
want to borrow 100,000?
333 01:42:27:23 01:42:30:16 00:00:02:18
Do you also receive this kind of call?
334 01:42:30:20 01:42:32:19 00:00:01:24
Yes, every week.
335 01:42:32:24 01:42:35:16 00:00:02:17
So why dont you ask
them for 100,000?
336 01:42:35:21 01:42:37:10 00:00:01:14
You think I should mess with them?
337 01:42:37:15 01:42:38:19 00:00:01:04
Bad idea?
338 01:42:38:23 01:42:42:09 00:00:03:11
Are you practising ‘responsible gambling’?
339 01:42:42:14 01:42:45:24 00:00:03:10
Not yet, I dont feel responsible.
340 01:42:46:03 01:42:51:00 00:00:04:22
I was really addicted to gambling,
and I guess I still am a bit.
341 01:42:52:01 01:42:53:15 00:00:01:14
You should know it’s our life.
342 01:42:53:20 01:42:56:19 00:00:02:24
I know but such a life is meaningless.
343 01:42:58:03 01:43:00:24 00:00:02:21
You should have a more meaningful life.
344 01:43:01:09 01:43:03:06 00:00:01:22
Do you agree that it’s not fun?
345 01:43:03:15 01:43:06:08 00:00:02:17
You are constantly worried
about losing money.
346 01:43:08:01 01:43:10:04 00:00:02:02
Do you agree that it’s not fun?
347 01:43:10:08 01:43:13:14 00:00:03:05
You should do something meaningful.
348 01:43:13:18 01:43:17:13 00:00:03:20
You know that the China City
has good wines and pretty women.
349 01:43:17:18 01:43:19:21 00:00:02:03
I’m no longer interested in that.
350 01:43:29:00 01:43:30:14 00:00:01:13

I’m in an embarrassing period.
