Cheung Chau

Meet Rachel.  She came to London in 2022 from Cheung Chau, an island in Hong Kong.  Since then, she has spent her time helping fellow Hong Kongers re-settle in the UK.  Growing up in the sunny, stable sub-tropics, life took a different turn post 2019.  Hear her describe the effects of moving from one metropolis to another, why Victoria Harbour is a very special memory and why for Hong Kong émigrés, exile in London offers the difference between freedom and incarceration.  Listen as she talks about the city she left behind, what she thinks about integration and why there isn't any such thing as an authentic Cantonese restaurant in London.
