Chang said Rutalengan made the strongest impression on him. “He is so ordinary but does very meaningful things … He’s taught me that as long as you have faith, you can accomplish anything,” he said.
Throughout the book, Chang tries to convey the earnestness and sincerity with which these policemen treat everyone, even to strangers, which he believes enables them to have empathy for others and put the community’s well-being before their own.
“I often think of them. Sometimes when I appear lost in thought, my wife will say: ‘You are thinking of your friends in the east again, right?’” Chang said, laughing.
Chang has clearly changed as a result of his experiences with the “hunter” policemen. At the invitation of the National Police Agency, he has recently taken up a new career as a consultant and now travels across the country to train police officers in areas including how to deal with the press.
The media veteran has found new meaning in life through his educational work, even though he makes less money than he used to as a senior journalist.
“There are things in life that can’t be measured by money. People form values and new meanings in life, and during that process, they change and evolve. To me, that’s the most essential thing,” he said.
