Jack

Welcome to Season 5 of “This Hong Kong Life”, a podcast with stories from the Hong Kong youth. The theme of this season is “Dear Mum and Dad”. 

Here comes our first episode! Jack, a psychology student from University of Hong Kong, shares his story under the pandemic. He describes the relationship between himself and his parents as a 'toxin'. Instead of showing love and care, they kept shouting and yelling at each other since Jack was studying at primary school. Yet he found out things had better changed after he studied abroad in UK at the age of 14. He realised that keeping a certain distance from his parents could actually help generate a healthier relationship among them. Let's listen to what he want to share with his parents!
