“We have come to Hong Kong with certain dreams… We shouldn’t lose sight of that.⁠

When I was asked what it felt like to be a helper in Hong Kong, I had to stop and think. I’m nearly 54 years old now and I have been a helper for over 34 years… it’s safe to say that I don’t even remember what’s it like not to be a helper anymore!⁠
