My parents came from China in 1948. They came to Hong Kong and met each other and built up a family. They were very difficult days because the Second World War had just finished. In 1988, I came to England with a work permit. It was very lonely in my first year because my family was still in Hong Kong. In the second year, my wife and two daughters came to England. I worked in the restaurant eleven hours a day, six days a week, but I was very happy because my family was there and my job.

1. After four years, I had my own business. Although it is a small business, my family are living in my own house, working altogether and my daughters have degrees. They have good jobs and one is married. They moved to Cambridge. We meet at church every Sunday. I am very lucky to live in England.
