My parents are both from Fujian province in southeast China. My father moved to Hong Kong for work. In China, Hong Kong was seen as a city where your dreams could come true, it could be life-changing.
Initially, he worked at a Chinese products store and when my rich great-great-uncle, who lived in Singapore, opened the three-storey Sanki Department Store in Western district on Hong Kong Island, he began working there.
My father returned to Fujian and married my mother. I was the firstborn, in 1977, and then came my two younger sisters. I was brought up in a quiet rural village in Fujian and my father only visited us every couple of years.
In 1984, my mother and I moved to Hong Kong and lived with my father in a very small apartment. My sisters stayed behind and were looked after by our grandparents.
