Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I’ve had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad’s takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home – it felt confusing at the time as I couldn’t find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people 🙂
