Hi all, Thank you for watching this documentary series and expressing your support for us and our profiles. I've read all your comments, and teared up repeatedly in process. A special shoutout to those of you who shared your own immigrant stories. They are gut wrenching and heart warming at the same time. I want to give everyone an update on our production and our profiles: - This 2-part documentary took us a whole year to produce. Filming ended in late Nov, 2021, and I've since returned to HK. That means there will not be Part 3 in the weeks and months to come. However, we are developing a follow-on series, which again will take at least a year to produce. - Fiona and Ah Man are still in the UK, and very much together. Ah Man has found a full-time job. Like hundreds of other HKers fallen through the BN(O)/LOTR crack, they are still waiting for their BN(O) applications to be processed, which requires a rule change by the UK government. If there's anyway we can help raise awareness of the issue in Britain, please kindly let me know. - Leon is still in HK. Given the flight suspensions, it's still not easy to get his 2 cats out. We hope to see him and his "family" in the UK in our follow-on series.

I immigrated to Canada from the UK in the 2000's in my early 20's as a single woman. It was extremely difficult but I'm glad I did. I was in a rut of the people I knew and I wasn't going to do anything with my life there. A fresh start was very much worth it. It took about 3 years to get my footing.

Fiona's husband is lucky to have someone like her. She's very real and hardworking. I wish their family the best.

This professor used a definition of Communism I learnt as a child almost 60 year ago. China has changed so much during my life time, how can Americans still understand China with such an old definition of an ideology?? I grew up under the British colony and was taught to dislike communism, but during my life time, I saw how that one party managed to work consistently through faults and trials. It finally brought out the fruit of stability, development and so many miracles within my life time to this 1.4 billions of people. As a Chinese not born in China, I cheer them on and finally understand a country need a government which work consistency with the people's welfare as a goal. If it had been this every 4 years swinging back to the opposite and undo every effort, with all powerful capitalists lobbying for their own benefits like in America, China will be a hell with its 4.5 times of population. In Hong Kong I saw how western "democracy" and those uncontrolled "freedom" turned my home into hell. I am glad MY country CHINA intervene, that is the job of a responsible government. I don't believe in the spoon-fed ideology of "democracy" any more because after I lived in the US, I see the mockery of this democracy. Whatever you do, it is always the rich and powerful that wins! Most Americans are being turned into slaves of those capitalists without even realizing it, I was shocked people many people had to work 4 to 5 jobs to make ends meet and still have no money in their banks..... Don't be sad for Hong Kong, just leave us alone and don't pour billions of dollar to bribe our young people to subvert our government, keep those money to fix your own infrastructure which are crumbling. If it is so good and it works for you, congratulations. Can America be democratic enough to let another country with another culture choose a path of their own?? Why everyone has to use your system?? Why you always want to become heroes when there was no war, so you have to create war? The acts of bombing and sanctioning are acts of terrorism and dictators, if you don't realize it. And the professor have no clue how Asians thinks, we are all cultures that yearns for stability, no one will jump up to bomb and send their children to the graves because they "don't like a communist country taking a democratic country".

My family immigrated to the US 20 years ago but watching Fiona family is like seeing my own family when we first got here. My parents had the same issues, my dad took me to class on my 1st day to class and I rmb asking for more math problems to solve from my 5th grade teacher too. We had the same conversation of people with high degrees like doctors, dentist now working in factory packing boxes. My dad own his own business back home and we had a helper just like Fiona but my mom became the helper when she came to the US, and my dad wash dishes in restaurants. It took them a good 5-7 year to stabilize and money finally not being such a burden. Both my brother and I now graduated college and has good jobs. Thinking back we sometime laugh about it but at the time it was so stressful and although I was only 9, I could feel and absorb the feeling my parents went through. Seeing Fiona make me remember the past and remind me again how grateful I am for my parents sacrifices.

They couldn't get a job in Canada, could they ?

My Mom used to work as nanny in HK. Unlike other stereotype HK families (arrogant), my Mom was lucky to have served a well mannered and respectable family in HK. My Mom would say nothing but good about her employer. I would say in hindsight they were part of my success, extended help to my Mom whenever I needed financial help. My Mom left the family when I was about to finished my university. 15 years hence, Im lucky to have had finished my graduate degree in Australia, worked, met my wife (Korean) and raised my own family down under. I wish I could meet and repay the kindness of this family to my Mom and to our family.

Every time I watch something like this, it feels like Hong Kong is calling to me, we left 30 years ago, and I often think what life could have been if we stayed? The family reminds me of my parents’ struggle to leave their home, who came to a foreign place and started all over again. First generation migrates have amazing resolution, your children will be extremely grateful and proud of you. A great documentary, captured the essence of human endurance in adversity. Very moving, brings a tear to my eye, because it struck so close to heart.

Many of my immigrant friends reached similar places whether they were from Taiwan, China, India, Vietnam, Korea, HK. My sister is a District Attorney for a major US City, would any immigrant to China coming from US, Vietnam, India, achieve such things? No they can only be an English teacher or lowly factory worker and Africans in China face a level of racism in Guandong China not seen in the US since 1960. In fact, even though I am an immigrant to US, I might be doing better than you are in China. Ive seen a Vietnamnese America Police chief in the U.S. will you ever see that in China? Nope. China has endless issues the world never gets to see due to your closed media yet you criticize other countries nonstop without reflecting on your own. The problem with US is the media is open to show ALL its issues for criticism whereas China hides all its issues to appear better than it is. In reality US 9x better than the media portrays (ived lived in both countries) but in reality China is worse than it is showing by far. Do you ever question why so many Chinese and Powerful Chinese in your govt move to the USA?? You never see rich Americans moving to China for more reasons than I could list. Ive been there many times all over the country. China is definitely a very different country from Taiwan. I really have no hate for the Chinese people its just sad when I see Wumaos and your govt creating misinformation to spread hate and lies about Democracy. And the fact is you can't even separate Chinese people from the Communist party which speaks to the deep brainwashing going on in China today.

Just one more thing: Many of you have wondered if we paid Fiona and her family to be in this documentary. We did not. As a news organisation, we do not pay any of our interviewees. This is very important because we don't want to incentivise them to do or say things they wouldn't otherwise. At the same time, we are human beings, we help when we can. When they had too many bags, we lent them a hand. When they wondered if they needed to microwave a sandwich, we advised it's best to eat it cold. When they struggled to speak to customer service on the phone, we eventually took over. These are things I believe any one of you would have done in those situations. Did our involvement make their life easier in the UK? I honestly can't say. It's a tremendous sacrifice on their part to allow us into their home and their life. I can only hope we weren't a burden after all.

Feel sorry for a traitor? What sort of deranged person are you?

The young guy who bought a cat to feel like he has a family member 😢 what a hardworking, persistent young man. I really hope he finds a partner and has a family of his own one day soon.

Fiona is everything good about Hong Kongers, she's down to earth, not afraid of hard work, not afraid of losing prestige labels, nothing is too low for her, not afraid of the unknown and focused on her kid's futures as her primary motivation. Her husband, on the other hand, needs to grow up a bit, drop the male dominance principle and learn to budget properly. Spend money you have, not what you think you will earn. The positive is that if he does get his HGV license, and his English improves naturally, his pay will finally be more than his wife. But he needs to stay away from the gambling habits that afflict loads of UK Chinese. Their kids will be fine - just need to watch their sugar and empty carb diet habits (like fish & chips and KFC), there's just shed loads of tasty but junk food in the U.K.

Fiona, hopefully u might read this. U remind me of my mother back in 1992 when we left HK for Australia. Fast forward almost 30 yrs later, she managed to transform herself from a house wife to a laywer, now a nurse and divorced my father. Something that she would not have done if we remained in HK because of the social and cultural stigma. Spread your wings and soar, Fiona!!!!

I have learnt so much in this documentary. Fiona is so resilient, creative and adds value, I cheered when she got full time employment! Wish the family all the best in getting BPO approved.

Fiona is just great; everything a woman, a wife, and a mother should be. Her forbearance during emotional exchanges is admirable; her talents and drive is awesome; and her tenacity and resilience is going to make her go far. Lovely kids; Hoi Nam so adaptable and full of ideas (e.g. introducing her own culture to her new friends.) It was indeed a shock to hear LOTR entry would invalidate the original BNO application. Hopefully, with both in work, immigration would not insist on them having 6 months' living expenses in the bank and, as Fiona suggested, they could scrimp and save up in the mean time. Truck drivers are in big demand in the UK and Europe and very well-paid. Best of wishes to the lovely family!

@@tristanlau1213 Nothing can change his grassroot thinking.

When my parents from HK came to Western Europe half a century ago, the HK emigrants then were mostly poor and non-educated. Most couples did not have children at arrival and just sought a better living here, which was then a logic choice. Nowadays many HK parents think they could give their young children a better future in Western Europe, but have no idea what it means for their children to grow up here where the Asian children look and behave different than their Western peers, and will always be treated as different. One comment below pointed out two moments in this video, in which the man imposed on his daughter his thought that UK is better, and another in which the woman talks to a UK woman as if HK women always shout at their children, whereas UK women won’t. A kind of thought, in which the West is pictured as better or even superior. From the perspective from a middle aged Asian man who was born and has lived all his life in a Western country with the highest university degree, and who has been to HK a couple of times, life in the West will be tough for newcomers from HK: By giving up their well paid jobs, the highly educated Hong Kongers come to the West to fulfill low paid jobs, and turn from the upper class in HK to the lower class in the West. They will encounter racism and are often defenseless. Their status is even lower than the uneducated Islamic people who emigrated to the West massively. The weather here is not suited for Asians. If you cannot speak the local language fluently, you will always be an outsider, and will be looked down. Even when you speak the local language 100% fluently and could defend yourself verbally against all kinds of people, you are still an outsider in the West. Most Asian boys will remain single, as they are pictured here as non-masculine, and lots of Asian girls, pictured as obedient, will marry the white men, because of their highest social status. As for the children, growing up in an environment, in which they do not feel “welcome”, “safe” and/or “accepted” they will experience lifelong consequences. These HK parents think they know better for their children, because they reason from a rational point of view. But children don’t. The social environment in the West has changed dramatically due to massive influx from Muslim and other people: Social tensions have increased in the last decade, and social issues here are visible, in which Asians are collateral damage. Anti-Asian sentiments are present and growing. Asians in the West are not second rank, but (will) become third rank like in the US and Canada, where I have been to many times for longer periods. Third rank means also discriminated by second rank citizens like Muslims and the dark people. For HK children to raise up in the West is nowadays much harder than in my youth three/four decades ago. As a matter of fact, I do not see any future for HK families to come to the West. They will burn their savings here. They will lose their high status and their well paid jobs back home. Their children will experience things unknown to them in HK. There is no bright future for newcomers in the West as my parents did see when they choose to live here 50+ years ago. Neither for the locals nor for the newcomers from HK, nowadays. For HK families still in HK and considering emigration to the West, it would in my viewpoint a big mistake. Social and political changes are everywhere, also in the West. Instead of getting emotional on these topics, focusing on saving money for their children is more practical, which is impossible in the West with the low paid jobs and income tax as high as 35%-49%.

Very impressed and touched by Fiona's courageous move to overcome hardships. Her diligence, intelligence and willingness to work hard makes her an exemplary of immigrants to the UK - reminds us stories of first settlers in the US in 1600s whose strength from within and faith in God helped them overcome all adversity!!! Bravo, keep it up - Fiona. Have faith in Lord God Almighty, He'll help you and family into success in the promised land!🙏🙏🙏

Hongkongers have never been educated and cultivated with sense of belonging to the homeland country - China by the British colonial government. Many of us just wish to have a secure stable life. Hongkong has disadvantage of overcrowded population but no difference from the city life in Tokyo or New York. After living in oversea for 30 years+, I still love Hongkong.

We also want to see them healthy and doing well in their lives. Your program is doing a great job in building understanding and empathy. Having young kids ourselves, i felt everything the parents felt and salute the bravery. Wishing them all the best best in all they set out to do.

Fiona is so inspiring. So amazing to see her progressing so well with her work, a testament to her bravery and hard work. My husband (HK/Canadian) and I (British) moved back to the UK nearly 12 months ago from HK...its a big change, even for us from here/visited here quite a lot. Creating a support network is key! Really hope there is a continuing series or followup - Fiona should also help her own channel! The visa application process is so hard, all of the preparation needed, the money, the documents to prove everything.... wishing them so much luck and strength.

This documentary is so meaningful and profound. Great Job!! I wish All Hkers, no matter where they are, all the best.

A lot of emotions came to my mind when I was watching this video. I grew up and worked in Hong Kong and have migrated overseas for more than 10 years. I never doubt about my identity as a Hong Konger. Anyone who asked me where I came from, I have no doubt to say that I am from Hong Kong, I grew up in a mixed culture governed by British government at that time. Hong Kong people are generally hard working, smart and easy to adopt changes. While the first few years would be tough to get used to a new environment, I believe they will finally overcome most of the challenges and they will be happy to see their daughter is growing up in a much better education system.

Just love how Fiona is on one side (almost too) self-conscious of her English ability, and yet despite of, does her very best in trying to adapt to life in a new environment. More importantly, she wants the new friends she makes to know her and her background as well.

Please update with us for Fiona’s family. Totally respect for her and her movements! It is not easy to stay in UK with no support. Tough life and many 1997 parents had been go through the same situation. It is not easy for first 5 years… after that u will get used to it! Stay strong 💪🏻 You are not alone!

Like every married couple, Fiona and Ah man have dreams and struggles, they both have their own strength and we hope after the long struggle they will be pround of themselves and be able to continue to give them children a loving family, take care, take care HK people.

Fiona is amazing, really. She's an excellent person, good mother, just see her daughter's confidence and quick adaptation. I bet she'd be great in her work and can establish a career from it.

Thank you CNA for this 2 part documentary. I hope there’s a part 3! We’re all glued and want to see how things turn out for the Fiona’s family and Leon. Agree with everyone that Ah Man needs to man up and improve his work prospects and spend less. His self esteem will improve and hopefully their relationship with it. Poor Leon. Those prices to bring his cats over to the UK are ridiculous. I hope he finds a solution and not pay to these greedy companies suggesting private jets!! All the best to all the people featured and I hope they live a happy life.

Nice song. Should have known this song earlier. Happy for you that CNA international TV broadcast let your nice song be heard across the world via this documentary.

There is one thing that I find very commendable about Fiona's philosophy in life. She said she doesn't overthink the future. This is really something we should all learn. If the situation in our life is in such a limbo, it's better to not overthink the future, rather just focus on now. Also, to those of you who wish to comment on their marriage, the old Chinese saying goes " you would teach someone to punish their kids rather than teaching husband and wife to separate". Whatever opinions you may have on their marriage, keep it to yourself so that you don't cause anymore stress to their family. Give them the space they need to sort out their issues. I don't think anyone here knows the husband better than Fiona. Always remember to leave a breathing space for others, for one day, you may need it yourself.

Fiona is so patient and so driven! Glad to see that her talent was recognized by the agency and gave her a proper job instead of a factory work. My parents migrated in the 70s-80s to The Netherlands and still call themselves 香港人. I am born in NL, but I call myself Dutch born HK Chinese. I also bought a one way ticket out of HK during Covid time after living there for 3,5 yrs. I loved going back to my roots and am missing my HK friends, but I also didn’t want to stay anymore. 香港人加油! 💪

The song at the end is so well chosen !! Loved it 😊

Fiona is a real boss! Her tenacity, drive, and can-do attitude means she will do well no matter where she is.

I immigrated to the US from Hong Kong in 1982. I was 10 years old at the time. That was the first wave of immigration fever in HK. So I experienced just about all of the difficulties and hardship that this family feels. Well, I was luckier than they are as I was much younger and therefore did resolve the language barrier issue with relative ease. But my parents did give up alot in order to provide me with this opportunity. And to them, I have to give my thanks and gratitude. My parents gave up as much if not more than what Fiona and Ah Man have given up in order to immigrate.

@Skip Roche 🪴🐈 I experienced both. Well, I was lucky that I had some working knowledge of English and I spoke French already at the time. Plus I was young, so I was able to pick up English within a relatively short period of time. But those who immigrate when they are already in their adult age will surely have a more difficult time to adjust. So as i said, I do appreciate the sacrifice that my parents made so that i could have a better and easier life.

Fiona's husband is such a horrible person.. I really salute her for putting up with him. All his excuses, snarky comments and sheer disrespect for her.. I would have found it completely unacceptable. Amidst all the struggle, having to make tough decisions and plan for the unpredictable future, she truly is a hero keeping it all together. I hope her husband wakes up and learn to respect and appreciate her. I'd have walked out with the kids.

I appreciated the CNA made such a good documentary. We can understand as immigrants we need to down to earth and face the life. Fiona coped with the UK life very fast, her husband might need more time. For new immigrants they need to put down their old position in HK, find a new job to survive, then they can search for their dream job in the near future. If you can’t survive, how can you plan a better life.

Excellent doco!

I’m so so happy for Fiona and her family! She’s really sacrificed a lot and took the plunge not knowing what’s ahead of her and her family. Fortunately, she has accomplished so much and pray that their life in the UK would continue to change for the better!

Happy to see Fiona and Ah Man are having a good life in UK! Thanks for this documentary series to show the struggle and challenges Hong Kongers would face after leaving HK

An excellent documentary, I really hope Fiona, Ah Man and their family got their visas and are now settled here in the UK. Good luck to them, and to everyone who emigrated from Hong Kong to come here.

This 2-part doc is really well done. It brings to light the challenges that a lot of HKers are facing as new immigrants. It makes me truly feel very appreciative of what my parents had to face back in 1974 when we first arrived in Canada. Hats off to Fiona for her effort and attitude to keep the entire family on track and organized. I know Ah Man is trying but he really needs to try harder to help Fiona. I am most sadden for the case with Leon. But he is a fighter and survivor. Life has dealt him a very bad hand with his family but he has not given up and I commend his drive to continue on for a better life. I want to wish him the best.
