Life is never easy in Hong Kong. When I was a kid, the percentage of girls receiving proper education was low. Girls having higher education was much rarer. Boys were expected to do good at school and then at work. No such expectations for girls. Luck was always on my side. I passed all the examinations which I needed to pass to move on to the next level. My formal education ended being a graduate of the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a major in Sociology. I was having a free time at school and then free choice in my career.
