    Minhas Rashad came to Hong Kong from Pakistan in the 1980s when he was 10 years old. He studied in a local school until Secondary 3. Not proficient in Chinese, he had to switch to vocational training. He worked in construction sites and factories and ran his own business before. After his father passed away, Minhas worked hard and gritted his teeth at any job that could earn him money to support his family.

    By chance, Minhas was invited to be a project officer in a social enterprise, helping ethnic minorities integrate into the community. Having been in Hong Kong for over 30 years, Minhas speaks fluent Cantonese with colloquial expressions. He became the delight in the Kwai Chung neighbourhood.

    Minhas also leads guided tours to introduce more people to Pakistani culture. In this episode, our presenter Daddy Fu will join Minhas on a tour of Kwai Chung and explore its ethnic diversities.

    • Seeing Humour in My Failing Vision

      Seeing Humour in My Failing Vision

      Kelly Kong is a retinitis pigmentosa patient in her twenties. Very little is known about this disease, except that it is inherited. At first, a patient's night vision deteriorates and peripheral vision diminishes. Only a small portion of central vision remains. Eventually it leads to total blindness.

      When Kelly was eight years old, she went home with her mother at night when she noticed that she could hardly see. Even with streetlights, it was still too dark for her. Kelly and her family avoided talking about it and Kelly would pretend to be ignorant about it. She tried to use her slow reaction to cover the fact that her eyesight was deteriorating. Yet in her heart, a lot of distress precipitated. She eventually suffered from depression and anxiety disorder.

      In the summer 2022, her condition took a turn for the worse. She almost lost her vision completely, but it made her face her disease squarely. She decided to make good use of social resources to solve the problems brought about by her eye disease. She reached out to medical social workers and the Society for the Blind for assistance. She now attends classes at the rehabilitation centre to learn braille, orientation and mobility, cooking, etc. to prepare herself for being totally blind in the future.

      Her mindset has also changed a lot in recent years. She started to talk about her disease in a witty and humorous way, making fun of herself for her blindness. Such sense of humour has enabled her to accept her situation in a different way. She no longer sees herself as a weak or dependent.

    • "African Prince”, the Mood-lifter

      "A little piece for you who’ve been feeling low recently..."

      These words are spoken by the tender voice of Kunbi, a 27-year-old Hongkonger who comes from Nigeria, Africa. He is known as “African Prince” on social media.

      As a child, Kunbi dreamed of becoming a doctor. But due to limited employment opportunities in his homeland, he followed in his father's footsteps and moved to Hong Kong 11 years ago, after completing secondary school. At first, he lived in a partitioned flat in Sham Shui Po. Knowing little the city and having no friends, he felt lonely. Whenever he felt down, he would go to the football pitch nearby. There, he managed to make friends with some locals.

      To integrate into the local community, Kunbi took Cantonese classes. Later, he went on studying for a diploma in mechanical engineering during the day and working as a security guard at night. Today, he’s a full-time engineer. Outside of work, Kunbi enjoys exploring authentic local food spots with his girlfriend Zoe. In their free time, the couple captures moments from their daily lives and shares them on social media. With his unique style of Cantonese voiceovers, Kunbi hopes to spread positivity to others.

    • Kawaii Cats in the City

      Kawaii Cats in the City

      Hong Kong-based Japanese illustrator Mango Naoko studied art at university in Japan. In 2013, she moved to the city with her Hong Kong husband. With different cultures and habits, it has taken some time for the couple to adjust to each other. Mango writes about her married life in a blog, sharing with her readers her ups and downs of marriage.

      When Mango first came to Hong Kong, she was not used to life here. She did not understand Cantonese and she did not have many friends. She was unable to find a job. As a pastime, she went to a café every day to have coffee and draw. The owner of the café saw her work one day and invited her to exhibit her drawings in the shop.

      Mango likes to put cats of different postures and looks into urban landscape. For example, there are cats in local public housing estates, cha chaan teng (Hong Kong style cafe) and dai pai dong (open-air food stalls).

    • Running Man – Accessibility Revisited

      Running Man – Accessibility Revisited

      Hong Kong is one of the most wheelchair-friendly cities in Asia, with a modern public transport system and footpaths with kerb ramps. More and more shopping malls are also equipped with barrier-free facilities. However, there are still a lot of constraints for wheelchair users to get around. For example, where railways and buses cannot reach, they need to rely on wheelchair taxis and Rehabuses, but Rehabuses are very difficult to book.

      In this episode, presenters Karan and Vita will experience the daily life of wheelchair users and their carers. Karan will follow Angel to experience a travel route on Hong Kong Island, while Vita will follow Keith to experience a daily route in Kowloon. What obstacles will they face? How difficult is it to dine out? How different is the actual time spent from the estimated time by general travellers? Why are some destinations unreachable? Why are the quartet so tired and out of breath?
