Abandoned investment bank to become Youtuber with high salary
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Ms. Ying worked as an OL in a private investment bank in Hong Kong. More than a year ago, her family of three moved to the UK with her husband and son and turned to run Youtube Channel full-time.”BN Lao immigrates to the UK (BNO Ying Tse)“. The sudden decision to change careers was not only because of the support of my husband who is engaged in photography, but also because of the encouragement of my relatives and friends around me. “Because we all know that there are other family members and friends who will immigrate to the UK, they all want to know regarding my local life and advice, so we will shoot and share.” I want to help the people around me understand their life in the UK so that they can shoot whatever they think is worth sharing. Sister Ying hopes to bring Hong Kong and the UK closer together.
Share your own experience and visit Hong Kong people who moved to the UK
In addition to sharing their own experiences and difficulties in moving to the UK, the channel also has many well-received Hong Kong people who moved to the UK to visit the video. The channel has accumulated more than 20,000 viewers to support and subscribe. But it’s definitely not easy to run a channel. Sister Ying revealed that she doesn’t earn much from being a youtuber, and her persistence in running it so far depends on the meaning brought to her by the filming. “During the process, I insisted on filming because many netizens sent private messages to ask questions, thank you, etc. All these information made me feel that filming is very meaningful. Because outside of life and work, I can help people and make life more fulfilling.”
Ms. Ying first interviewed Hong Kong people who moved to the UK from other industries because she noticed that many Hong Kong people would be worried that their jobs in Hong Kong would not be suitable for the UK, and wanted to know what other careers might be developed, but she herself is in Hong Kong I work for a long time and have few contacts, so I have the idea of visiting Hong Kong people who moved to Britain. “In the past, working in Hong Kong for a long time and the industry was fixed, the scope of knowing people would be very narrow, but during interviews, you can learn more immigrant stories. Recently, I started to interview local people, and I will ask them regarding their professional knowledge, which we do not often in Hong Kong. touch.”
Find the ideal education for the next generation to run away
When asked why she had the idea of immigrating in the first place, Ms. Ying said that the reason for the idea of immigrating in the first place is very similar to that of most people, and the primary consideration is the education of the next generation. “The political situation in Hong Kong has changed, but we have not been able to get used to it and are not used to it. In addition, the direction of the education system is different from the past, which prompted us to bring our son to immigrate, hoping that he can receive our ideal education.” She finally chose the UK besides herself. In addition to having a soft spot for British culture, she is also determined to plan to leave Hong Kong within one month following the BNO visa program is launched because of the lower cost and threshold compared to other countries.
Sister Ying has been immigrating for more than a year since last June. Before she left, she was worried regarding whether she might find a school, a job, money, weather and other issues, but in the end she was able to adapt to life smoothly. The time to adapt” was not far from what she imagined. “After I arrived, I felt that the weather was better than I imagined, because I expected it to be foggy, cold, and often rained, but in fact, there were more drizzles, or because I had fantasized regarding it before and was mentally prepared, so it was easy to come here. Adapting. We have no regrets coming here, especially seeing that children go to school much easier than Hong Kong.” However, Ms. Ying has many friends complaining that she needs to adapt to cooking and language. “Some mothers didn’t know how to cook or do housework when they were in Hong Kong. At first, they had to do it by themselves, which made them feel a little nervous, uneasy, and laborious. In addition, British people all have different accents, so even if they are good at English, following they come It takes time to learn. Just talk and listen to get used to it quickly.”
Future opening plans to find the taste of Hong Kong
Ms. Ying is now preparing to open a Hong Kong-style ice house. She has found a shop to discuss the terms of the lease with the owner, and is ready to sell delicacies familiar to Hong Kong people. “Sometimes when people go out to eat in the same house, it seems that the main breakfast is the British breakfast, which is not used to it. In addition, I feel a little homesick, and there are many Hong Kong immigrants living in Solihull in Birmingham, so I have the concept of opening an ice room. ”
Let go of the comparison mentality and accept the new life
There are so many things that newcomers to the UK have to adapt to. Sister Ying suggests putting aside the comparison psychology and not comparing the two places. The experience as simple as sitting in the park to meet new friends and share with them the situation in Hong Kong has made Miss Ying unforgettable. “It seems that Hong Kong is indeed more convenient than the UK in terms of shopping and eating, but the UK has its own advantages and cannot compare the cultures of the two places. After immigrating, don’t rely too much on the habit of getting along with Hong Kong people and try to communicate with the British. There are many different races, and they are willing to help.”
