Giving up a high salary, leaving Hong Kong, and opting for overseas immigration may seem like a better life for many. However, migration is not as simple as it seems, and such a decision can present unusual challenges, especially when a new country faces many practical difficulties.
Why would a teacher with a stable and high salary in Hong Kong choose to give up everything and go to the UK to work as an assembly line worker in a gingerbread factory?
In the past, the dream of immigration was the aspiration of many people, especially Hong Kong citizens. However, with the development of the domestic economy and the changes in the external situation, the choice of migration is no longer so simple, and more people are beginning to re-examine the costs and risks of this decision.
Fiona's story is perhaps a microcosm of many immigrants. She and her husband abandoned the comfortable life at home for a better life, but they encountered unprecedented difficulties overseas. Does this mean that life at home is more secure and stable than overseas?
In recent years, BNO passports held by Hong Kong residents have been recognised as a result of changes to the UK's immigration policy, which has sparked a massive wave of immigration. But does Fiona's plight reflect the general plight of these migrants?
Behind migration are often hardships and challenges. Faced with their new living and working conditions, did Fiona and her husband anticipate such difficulties, and did they regret their decision?
What reality does Fiona's experience reflect: Life abroad is not as good as it could be, and immigrants may face unprecedented challenges and difficulties in a new country.
This story reminds us that immigration is not an easy choice, but a decision that requires thoughtfulness and courage. In a new country, every step of life can be unprecedented challenges.
