Ali came from Chad in Africa.

Before, Ali did not speak Chinese or English and he never thought of coming to Hong Kong. Now, Hong Kong became where he pursues his dream.

Ali was stranded at the airport for seven days upon arrival in Hong Kong in 2017. In this completely unfamiliar city, the university student who spoke only French and Arabic decided to take the road not taken: self-learning Chinese and English, studying a distance degree course by a UK university, volunteering for various organizations, and even marrying a Hong Kong woman.

Step by step, he integrated into Hong Kong. Yet he never forgot his homeland.

On another road not taken, Ali gave up his stable job in a big recreation club and works as construction worker. He hopes to save enough money and start a mineral trading company in Hong Kong, providing training and job opportunities for young people in Africa. The unfamiliar place has become home.

They are Africans. They are Hongkongers, They are also earth citizens.
