According to the statistics of the Census and Statistics Department in 2021, there are about 270 000 ethnic minorities living in Hong Kong, which account for about 4% of the whole Hong Kong population, and many of the families have been living in Hong Kong for more than half a century. However, factors such as culture, language and customs, as well as the difficulties South Asian youth in Hong Kong encounter in learning Chinese, have been hindering ethnic minorities from integrating into the mainstream society.
Three Pakistanis, including two young people and a middle-aged man who has settled in Hong Kong for 40 years, know the importance of the Chinese language for living in Hong Kong. Therefore they make great effort to learn Chinese and work in an organisation caring for the ethnic minorities. Apart from providing life and learning support to their fellow countrymen, they also introduce to the public the feature of their own cultures, so as to promote inclusion and narrow the gap between different cultures.
