Ian and his mother arrange these meals for free for them too! Yen said about 600 to 700 bowls of noodles are given to poor people for free every month.

Ian took up this work with Ma four years ago. To date, about 40,000 bowl noodles have been distributed to people for free, said a one-time gangster Yen! According to Yen, mainly old people and unemployed youth apply for free meals.

A 62-year-old ex-gangster is also a daily regular shopper at Yen's shop. The person has also severed all contact with the family. Yen says, I have seen many gangsters end their lives like this. Sometimes I also have a hard time thinking that I have wasted so much time in my life.

Ian says, being involved in the criminal world felt like I was walking a tightrope - because at any moment an enemy was waiting for me. And now I meet people who are really happy to see me. I cannot explain to anyone the peace I am in now.
