Ken's family had fled Laos, so he was on bird's-eye terms in Thailand, and the move to Hong Kong was just an attempt to legitimize his relationship with a country. Just at that time, France was receiving fugitives, and Ken planned to go there, but it never worked out, and he stayed in Hong Kong. Ken Lo did not get to France because his mother did not want him to go there.
