Lok Yung

[checkky]

Lok Yung was grown up in some of the less desirable conditions from his origins of downtown Chinatown. His life perfectly summarized by terrible grades and an early addiction to narcotics. He naturally sports an unfiltered and brash personality, but has grown to suppress such outbursts for his own good. Growing up, Lok lived under a precarious household, his mother often working much harder than she should’ve to support her son and paraplegic husband, whom-st had been mortally injured in a car crash. Often working two to three jobs, her mother often had to resort to illegal and undesirable work such as prostitution and work for sketchy people to keep her family afloat. Albeit her mother’s example of hard work and passion, Lok quickly fell out of touch after his father’s accident. He became addicted to smoking: cigarettes, marijuana, even crack at his lowest point; he often found himself sleeping through school and barely floating by...

 

Without a real, mentally sound parental figure present in his life, Lok was influenced by the worst of his peers and friends, he struggled through highschool, suffering from depression and anxiety which was encouraged even more by his frequent drug usage. He often found refuge in the small tuner scene in her neighborhood- a measly garage which was run by a less than amiable Chinese man. Old beaters were miraculously brought back to life by said man, Lok finding small work there as a receptionist who fixed small issues here and there. At the age of sixteen, his drug usage only skyrocketed due to the money she accumulated through work and his parents; the ten dollars his mother gave him for lunch often became the ten dollars he’d use to buy a gram of weed. Becoming lazy, he was fired from his only job and barely graduated high school- a peak in his life due to his mother’s rare appearance. Not planning on a college attendance, Lok fell into random jobs which only held him for a month or two, quickly entering into the partying scene where he stupidly began to mess with random girls and to no one's surprise, even more drug usage.
