Today is International Day of Migrants. In my talk show, "# People's Avenue Central," I discussed how immigration impacts culture and development, sharing two key themes: the challenges of Nordic welfare states and the real stories of Hong Kong people living overseas. Sweden, which has a relatively lenient approach to immigration, is now facing social pressures that have led the government to examine its capacity to accommodate immigrants. Denmark, on the other hand, is strictly controlling immigration and promoting overseas refugee processing centers, sparking integration and human rights controversies, reflecting the complex choices Europe faces in the face of the influx of immigrants. Meanwhile, in recent years, a large number of Hong Kong people have emigrated to the UK and Canada, facing challenges such as job demotion, declining income, and cultural adaptation, while also seeking educational and employment opportunities to start new chapters in their lives. The United Nations has chosen "My Story: Culture and Development" as this year's theme, reminding us that immigration is not only a national issue, but also, for individuals, a journey full of resilience and hope.
