Immigrate to the UK丨After three days of consideration, she decided to immigrate to Hong Kong with her family, abandoning her old business and becoming a Youtuber: leaving without regrets for the next generation

—

There has been a lot of talk about immigration over the past few years, and more recently the conversation about immigration has shifted from choosing a destination to discussing the experiences and feelings of immigrant life. It’s like runningMoon’s mother lives in the UK“Moon, the YouTuber of the channel, decided to immigrate to the UK a year ago. She was also transformed from a former media company’s advertising sales manager into a full-time housewife, taking care of her husband and a 4-year-old girl. Her life has undergone a 180-degree change. . Moon’s mother admitted that she was worried that immigrants would be difficult to adapt to, but she still gave it a try for the sake of the next generation.

On March 21, 2021, the family left Hong Kong and immigrated to the UK.

Open YouTube Channel to share experience and solve immigration problems

Leaving the workplace from behind the scenes to the front, Moon’s mother wants to share her immigration experience with everyone. It turned out that the reason why she opened the YouTube Channel was from her experience of planning to immigrate. She did not find any immigration consultants and handled the whole process by herself, so she felt that there were a lot of preparations and arrangements before and after, and she saw a lot of Hong Kong. From visa to landing life is also a one-handed plan. As a past person, I hope to share immigration experience and teaching, and answer the questions of netizens.

Consider only three days to decide to immigrate with your family

It is definitely not easy to leave the place where you grew up. Moon’s mother was also very worried at the beginning, such as being separated from family and friends, not adapting to life after landing and so on. But no matter how much consideration, in the end, I decided to leave for the sake of the next generation. “The idea of immigration stems from the fact that the environment in Hong Kong has changed a lot after 2019 and the main consideration is the future growth environment of Nannan. If you study in a foreign country, you can receive a better education, plus the convenience of BNO Visa, so consider immigrating to the UK. “

Immigrate without regrets after the adaptation period

Moon’s mother has lived in the UK for a year since she decided to immigrate. When asked if there is a difference between ideals and reality, Moon’s mother bluntly said that there is a gap between the two. “A stay-at-home mother who used to be busy helping the company communicate with major advertisers. After immigrating without the help of her maid sister, having to take care of the children by herself was the first thing that made Moon’s mother the most difficult to adapt to.” She said with a smile After the United Kingdom, because the expenses are too large, people will spend money to hire people to do things. Now many things have to be done by themselves, such as the whole house, oil walls, cooking and housework.

For Hong Kong people who are particularly difficult to adapt to, I believe it is definitely the pace of life. Moon’s mother believes that the rhythm of Hong Kong people’s daily life is fast, and the first thing to go to the UK is to learn and live slowly. “The pace of life in the UK is slow, and the weather and water quality have to be adapted to all aspects. Even the food is not as many choices as Hong Kong, and you have to drive your own car to get in and out, because even if there are trains, the number of trains is very scattered.” Hong Kong people walking through the crowd suddenly slowed down, which made it difficult.

From a familiar bustling city to an unfamiliar city, no matter how adaptable it is, it takes time to transition. “In the beginning, I was a little frustrated when I came to the individual, and I hung up on the housing enterprise. But after a period of time, I started to enjoy Face Time more, or participating in local community activities, and IKEA has many Hong Kong people. Almost different cities have Hong Kong people’s activities and then start to enjoy it. The slow pace of life in the UK, so I have no regrets immigrating to the UK.”

I met a lot of new friends in the UK and I often invite them to dinner at home.

Discover new interests and integrate into local life culture

After leaving the comfort zone, I am missing a group of friends. Only by entering a new circle and re-acquainting friends can I adapt to the local life faster. Moon’s mother encourages Hong Kong people to “be bold and communicate more”. Don’t be afraid that your English is not good enough and don’t take the initiative to expand the circle. She also shared that there are many free English classes in the local area. The government has resources for BNO people who come to the UK to use. , I realized that many new friends “can explore different interests after coming here. I used to have little contact with gardening in Hong Kong. Now many people live in HOUSE and learn how to manage it.”

There are many outdoor activities in Nannan school, and the school focuses on hands-on experience and practice.

There are many facilities in the British Park, and the children have a good time.

Homes in the UK are bigger than those in Hong Kong, and children have more space for activities.

Mentality adjustment is the most important, no comparison, no harm

As a visitor, Moon’s mother has a lot of experience to share with Hong Kong people who are preparing to immigrate. Among them, mentality adjustment is particularly important. “You must learn to put down your body, start from scratch, and maintain an open and optimistic attitude. It is not good to compare Hong Kong too much. It is necessary to understand that when you first immigrated, your income from work was not high, but you paid a lot of taxes. It is difficult to compare the earning ability of the two places. ”

As a parent, the biggest wish is to give the best generation to the next generation, so the most unforgettable experience shared by Moon’s mother after immigrating is a word from Nang. “My grandmother really likes the life in the UK, the housing estate is so big, and the park is so big. In fact, when I heard my grandmother’s words, I felt that all the hard work was worth it, and the most important thing is that the children are happy.” important!
