Indians were one of the earliest arrivals among the ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. They came in the 19th century, and those living here now are the third or fourth generation immigrants. Vivek was born here. He comes from a typical family with three generations of Hong Kong Indians. By blood he is 100% Indian. However, he feels that his thinking, behaviour and habits make him at least 50% a typical local guy. When Vivek’s parents decided to send him to a local Chinese school, his Indian family members didn’t quite understand. Yet, Vivek took the chance, and become a truly local person. His fluency in Cantonese, optimism and sense of humour have even made him a stand-up comedian on stage. Vivek was diagnosed with lymphoma. After his recovery, he arranges school tours to share his experience of overcoming adversity. As one of us, he has been doing his part for our home, Hong Kong, with his eloquence and experience.
