当时年仅16岁的越南偷渡少年Phong被发现时,已经严重脱水(severe dehydration)、生命垂危。他被紧急送往医院,并在那里得到了医护人员的精心照料。住院六天后,他恢复了健康,又被当地政府送往一户寄养家庭,在那里,他第一次有了自己的卧室,还有家人无微不至的关怀。
如今,重获新生的他,感叹命运的多变,感谢自己有了一个家。

"Dear England, I'm writing a letter to tell you what a difference you have made to my life. You have saved my life. You have given me a family and a home,"
“亲爱的英格兰,我在写信告诉你,你给我的生活带来了多么大的转变。你救了我的命。你给了我家人和一个家。”
"When I came to the UK, when I woke up in the hospital I was very scared and panic. I don't know where I am, what happen to me, I hurt all over my body and couldn't eat. I could only use my neck and fingers just a little bit."
“当我来到英国,当我在医院醒来时,我非常害怕和惊恐。我不知道我在哪里,发生了什么事,我浑身都痛,吃不下东西。我只能稍稍动下我的脖子和手指。”
"Thank you to everyone for helping me with English and myself. Now I believe in myself and I am positive instead of negative."
“谢谢大家帮助我,帮我学习英语。现在我相信自己,我很积极,不再消极。”
"Thank you for finding me, making me better in hospital. Thank you for giving me a family, they love me and me too. Thank you for giving me an education. Thank you social services and government for your help and care. I never believed I would be loved. There is now a big rainbow in my life instead of darkness.
“谢谢你发现我,让我在医院里好起来。谢谢你给了我家人,他们爱我,我也爱他们。谢谢你让我接受教育。感谢社会服务机构和政府给予我的帮助和关心。我从不相信我会被人爱。现在在我的生命中有了一道大大的彩虹而不再是黑暗。”
