When I arrive, I had only HK$1000. Worked as a dishwasher at a steak house right away and sleep at the back of the restuarant. After 3 months, I was able to rent a room, go to school in the day time and work at the restuarant at night, sleeping less than 4 hours per day. Lucky to get job rotation in the restuarent as a waiter, cook, bar tender and manager. After graduation, I worked as a professional engineer and earn a MBA, teach part time in college. Climbed the corporate ladder to supervisor, manager, VP and director of the corpoaration. As long as you have drive and willing to learn and work hard, you can be successful. Cheers to all our Hongkongese... work hard and be sucessful.. you can do it. Nothing can stop us Hongkongese. We can surive anywhere in the world. Hongkongees are the second highest income group in UK, US, Canada, Australia and EU. 無嘢可以難到真香港人.
Fully agree. There too many people moaning about the unhappy situations but not willing to face and deal with the situation. There is an old English phrase that we “shouldn’t cry over spilt milk” meaning if there’s a mess just clean it up!😅
When there is a will there is a way. I came to USA with only US$1000 when I was in my late 20s. Worked very hard and at times worked three jobs. Then worked and went to college full time to get my BA in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting. Eventually found a job with one of the top Health Insurance companies making a good salary. With determination, perseverance, and a positive attitude, I have achieved all my financial goals.
My parents were very successful and made a lot of money running several restaurants and came to the UK in the mid 1960’s. My father integrated very quickly and passed his driving test first time and mastered English very quickly. My mother on the other hand never fitted into British way of life. She enjoyed watching her HK soap dramas, played Majong and only ate Chinese dishes. She still can’t speak English and needs to depend on others to take her out and go to medical appointments. Without our support, she can’t survive and I remember as a child under the age of 10 having to accompany her to the Drs and translating about contraception. My father was so fed up with her because she needs someone to drive her around and being chaperone. My father did bully her because she was weak and needy. Personally, I would not like to live a life always having to depend on others and she was never able to use the London underground because she couldn’t read the train map or which platform to take on overground trains. Waiting for a bus in the cold weather is also something to consider.

Driving in London is chaotic and can be a nightmare with heavy traffic, congestion zone charges and parking fees.

In the past, your parents could evade taxes and made tons of money. I think electronic transactions have eliminated most of these opportunities.

They came to the UK on a ship in their late twenties with only the clothes on their backs. By the time they were in their 40’s they were already well established business owners in the communities including London China town. My mother never worked but was very good with the abacus and very good at counting money. My father couldn’t cook and still can’t but he was lucky in finding good chefs and sponsored them from HK. Opportunities were much easier and simpler then nowadays. None of us children followed them in the restaurant business but my parents really cared about education and sent all their 4 kids to private and boarding schools. They insisted we all learn to play a musical instrument and learn Cantonese on Sundays in Chinatown. To be honest, the UK government is really not doing a great job and misusing public money. It’s a joke that taxpayers are paying lawyers to help Boris Johnson fight his covid inquiry. Almost £350K already spent and this case is still ongoing with the judge requesting all Whatsapp messages to be handed over. It’s most likely Boris Johnson held a wedding during covid restrictions and many government ministers including Rishi Sunak attended in his country residence Chequers. Why should taxpayers pay for their legal fees when they misbehaved and took advantage of their power? I rather keep my hard earned cash for myself. It’s also such a joke all the illegal immigrants are staying in hotels at the expense of £6 million a day all paid for by taxpayers. This country is taxing the rich to pay for all its mistakes including Liz Truss and her disastrous policies.
It’s good that people learn what respect is. People who left mostly because they didn’t know how to respect.

With hard work you can make it. My parents came over in the late 70's with no English, no qualifications, no money and lived from their suitcase yet they still made ends meet. Today we're more technologically advance and easy communications. Migrating to the UK is so much more easier now.

@onedegreewest9303 Of course, with hard work you can make it. 12-14 hrs working per day it worth ? 70s UK' economic was extremely better than 2023 economic situation, especially UK left EU , fully involved and supported -Ukraine war. Now inflation, prices and energy getting higher and higher, plus the whole world economy is getting worse and worse.

@@derekng958 They do say 靠自己雙手. Yes, the cost of living compared to salary makes it so much harder especially for first time buyers. I believe there are plenty of jobs out there and with this generation of HK migrants aren't just limited to working in Takeaways and low paid jobs. My point is they aren't arriving here with just a suitcase, they are better educated aren't as pitiful as my parents generation.
