Hung Chuen-chuen's research shows that the father's incarceration becomes a taboo subject for the family. Regardless of whether the children knew of their father's imprisonment or not, all of the subjects she interviewed indicated that their children would not ask about or discuss this issue of their own accord even within the family.
