Wu Bing-chuen developed a penchant for betting as a child. By the time he had had two children of his own, the habit had become an expensive full-blown addiction. After more than two decades, with his family's support, he finally broke free of gambling's grip and now helps others follow suit.
His son, Raymond, witnessed the changes in his father and made a life-changing decision to leave a well-paid job at a big insurance firm a year ago. He took a course on counselling and now works full-time alongside his father to help other compulsive gamblers and their family members.
The story appears today (June 16) in news.gov.hk in both text and video format.
