Hong Kong uncle over sixty years old immigrated to the United Kingdom, more than ninety years old parents have not immigrated together: gratitude is too late, nothing feels unaccustomed, failed to personally serve my parents, no matter what, not filial piety, is one of the most guilty things after I immigrated to the Uk, do the son's side, of course, I hope that parents will be considerate, but on the father's side, I will think that my son is often by his side, this matter is difficult to complete, but I hope that people will be long, thousands of miles together Chan Juan [crying can't be sounded] [crying can't be sounded]
Gal Wei (pseudonym), a Hong Konger who immigrated to the UK in mid-last year, said he would leave Hong Kong at any time as early as 2019, and by May last year, he and his wife began selling houses and embarking on immigration matters. He recalled that at that time, he was worried that he would enter the UK as a tourist, and that he would travel to other countries for a few days before entering the UK after traveling to other countries when his visa was about to expire. Fortunately, the UK subsequently announced that BNO holders could settle in the UK, so they resigned and moved to the UK in the form of LOTR last year.
Gao Wei, who is over 60 years old, said that because of his old age, the chances of finding a job after moving to The United Kingdom are not high, so he does not consider places such as London, which have a higher living index; and considering that his and his wife's resilience will only deteriorate, they tend to settle in safer places. His son, who had stayed in Wolverhampton, a small city near Birmingham, was safe and quiet, and there was a small townhouse for rent of £625 a month, so he decided to settle down there. He said that his son, who had visited and studied in the UK many times in the past, had lived in england for two and a half years when he was young, and that the imaginary life of moving to The UK in Hong Kong was not too far from the reality, and it was not difficult to adapt.
He continued that although his English was not good, there were already many ethnic minorities living in the places where they lived, and everyone was used to communicating with people with different accents and English levels, using body language to assist face-to-face, "In the end, if there was a problem, they took out their mobile phones to assist." He said that it is still difficult to make a phone call, and if necessary, ask the other party to send an e-mail, slowly look up the dictionary when encountering words that are not understood; the reply is mainly short, even if it is written as "Yesterday I go to supermarket", the other party will not understand or misunderstand.
He also said that Hong Kong's habitual condiments, white rice and pasta can be bought in Birmingham or online, and the daily meals and soups prepared by his wife are not much different from Hong Kong, "Of course, mud porridge, Teochew raw pickled cockles and other delicacies are difficult to find." But life is full of choices, and even if the other is a little insufficient, it is too late to be grateful, and there is nothing that I feel unaccustomed to."
He said that applying for a BNO visa as a father can help his son without a BNO to achieve his desire to stay in the UK and develop, but his parents have not immigrated together because they are over 90 years old, even if their parents understand his decision, it is inevitable that they will not give up. He also often lost sleep because of the thought of missing his parents, and the thought that he would not return to Hong Kong unless he had to in the future made him feel even more tormented.
He said that his parents were now cared for by his sister, and the only thing he could do was to talk to them every day, "but in the end I failed to serve them personally, and in any case, filial piety was one of the most guilty things I felt after I moved to England."
Under the tide of immigrants, many two generations have been separated, he said, leaving the country is never easy, everyone adapts to different degrees, more understand that the older people, the more worried, they can not make up their minds for other people's family affairs, but he will ask friends who want to immigrate from time to time: "Why?" He said that he is both a son and a father, "To be a son, of course, I hope that my parents will understand; but on the father's side, I will think that my son is always by his side, and the older he gets, the stronger this expectation is."
"It's hard to put it all together. I hope that people will be long-lasting, and thousands of miles will be cherished together." Galway sighed.
