The two brothers have been relying on the NT $ 7 million fund of donations made at the time of their surgery. The subsidy they get from the Office of Social Work at NTUH is very small, and taxis are only subsidized for trips between home, the hospital, and school. When he has no money in his pocket, if no one picks him up, Chung-jen can't go anywhere.
靠著當年一筆約七百萬元的捐款基金生活迄今的兄弟倆，每個月固定向台大社工室領取的生活費不多，能報帳的計程車資更只限於家、醫院和學校間的三點往返，沒人來接又皮夾空空時，也就意味著忠仁哪裡都去不了。
