HKYWA 2015 Fiction 3 to 6 - page 350

Fiction: Group 3
For fifteen years, Henrique had lived peacefully too, but he left Portugal the moment he could and returned
to Macau. His father seethed with rage at his son’s decision, but nothing could be done; Henrique had set
eyes on wealth and prosperity. He now works in the Sands as a manager, cheating wealthy tourists. Little
does he know his childhood friend could be found at the other end of the very same street?
Every day, I see all these things happen above me. I wish our world could be filled with more people like
Lin, those who refused to take the twisted - yet profitable- path, and chose a bright one instead.
Through the years, I saw how the two-legged have evolved - from being humble and honest farmers and
fishermen into the tricksters many of them are today. Though much, much wealthier than before, it seems
that they have become increasingly discontent with their lives: only wanting more and more and more.
