Those Hong Kong people who immigrated to the Uk probably never thought that after arriving in the UK, they were required to speak Mandarin when they found a job... On the 21st, some Hong Kong media reported that recently, such a British recruitment advertisement exposed the embarrassing situation of these people who moved to the UK.

According to the Hong Kong News Network reported on January 21, recently, some netizens posted on the social media page of "Hong Kong people immigrating to the United Kingdom" that the United Kingdom "London W5 invites Hong Kong people, whether there is customer service experience will be considered." ”
Notably, the job ad then specifically emphasized that candidates should be able to speak Mandarin – "to know Mandarin, artificially 28k pounds (about 240,000 yuan) a year"
After verification, the job post was posted two days ago and is still hanging on the 29,000-member "Hong Kong People Immigrate to the UK" Facebook page.
In the comment area, as the Hong Kong News Network said, some Hong Kong people who immigrated to the United Kingdom put on a pick-and-choose attitude under the job post, saying, "If you want to know Mandarin, you should seriously consider it." Some people even put up a score and said, "If you know Cantonese, you will consider it."
However, there are also many people who ask for private messages, ask for job details, and are interested in getting the job.
In response to this situation, the Hong Kong News Network said that it "revealed the real living environment of hong Kong people who moved to the UK", and also said that the post was later screenshotted and forwarded by many Hong Kong netizens. Among them, many netizens can't help but ridicule these Hong Kong people who immigrated to the Uk: "Is there any mistake, do you want to 'brothers and sisters' go to The United Kingdom to speak Mandarin?" "Why bother with brotherhood?"
Some netizens also called the Chinese level of immigrants "worried": "Mandarin? They even wrote Chinese words wrong, and they couldn't read English! "Tell you to learn Mandarin in the morning, people are businessmen, who care about politics!"
In addition, many netizens also thought that during the "storm over the amendment of the law", there were black rioters who maliciously attacked mandarin-speaking mainlanders politically, lamenting that some immigrants were self-inflicted today: "Those yellow people and thugs in Hong Kong bully mainland friends, they don't speak English, and they also want (them) to go to the UK to speak Mandarin. For the sake of 'freedom and democracy', we must have backbone, support 'brothers and sisters' to continue to live in Britain, and never return to Hong Kong! ”

It should be mentioned that, according to the Hong Kong News Network, since the British government blatantly violated international commitments and provided Hong Kong people with BNO passports with so-called residence and naturalization routes to the UK, some Hong Kong people who "revere Britain and love to colonize" have immigrated to the UK. However, the news of the embarrassment of these people's lives in England kept coming out.
Last year, some Hong Kong media took stock of the bleak experience of "yellow silk" immigrants: when a Family of 12 Hong Kong people waited to apply for a Concessionary Entry Permit (LOTR) at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom, they were stopped by local customs officers for taking photos, and the parties shouted, and as a result, the whole family was sent back to Hong Kong the next day and was not allowed to enter the UK for two years; some people arrived in the UK and found that the local economy was very depressed, if it were not for relatives, they would have starved to death on the street, and now they dream of their home in Hong Kong almost every day, bluntly saying "good regrets".
In addition, Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao also reported on the "miserable rain" of Hong Kong people who immigrated to the UK near the Christmas node in December last year. The report pointed out that while local people in the UK go out shopping with their relatives and friends, many Hong Kong people who immigrate to the UK do not feel the joy of the festival. Before immigrating, they had a beautiful vision of a new life, but after arriving in the UK, their quality of life did not rise or fall compared with Hong Kong, and the practical setbacks such as employment difficulties, racial discrimination, and inconvenient life broke their illusions again and again. Some Hong Kong people end up running out of savings and need to sleep on the streets.
For example, a Hong Kong rioter who could not find a job for a long time quickly ran out of his savings of 10,000 pounds (about 86,000 yuan). Eventually, he was homeless, living on the streets and living on the relief of a food bank. "I came to England with hope, but I was betrayed by the British government and all my hopes were dashed."
These people wanted to "get ahead", but when they arrived in England, they found themselves in a trap and could not even get a "decent job". Even, under the ravages of the epidemic in the United Kingdom, some Hong Kong people who immigrated to the United Kingdom are still like former TVB anchor Lin Zibo, one infection after another. Under these realities, Chan Chi Si, convener of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, warned in an interview with the Hong Kong media "The English Tiger" a few days ago that Hong Kong people who want to immigrate to the United Kingdom must think twice because it is difficult for them to return to Hong Kong after selling their houses and using up their savings to move to the United Kingdom.
