Congratulations to my youngest son for defeating all the contestants and successfully winning his first gold award in his life - the 62nd i.e. Hawaii 2024 Gold Key Award for Film. This is his highlight moment. I hope he can make it a new starting point in his life like the name of the winning work "New Start ", and use this gold key to open the door to the future and embark on a glorious life journey! Congratulations to Virgil Tan!
