My Family’s Journey to the UK
This is the earliest photograph I have of myself, taken at the refugee camp shortly after arriving in the UK. I didn’t get to keep the dog. My family and I came to the UK as Vietnamese refugees (we’re Chinese but were born in Vietnam). I wrote about this in my book, Life as a… …read more
