    Information about interviewee:


    (e.g. Age, Gender, Occupation, Marital Status, Geographic region, etc. as relevant /appropriate)

    R= Respondent/Interviewee (if more than one respondent, use R1, R2, etc.)
    I=Interviewer

    R: I came here in late 1968.

    I: You came here in late 1968? Many years already.

    R: 31 years already. 31 years already.

    I: (laugh) It is really a long time. Why did you choose to come to England at that time?

    R: I met my husband and after we got married in Hong Kong, I applied to come to England.

    I: You met your husband in Hong Kong?

    R: Yes.

    I: He was working here [in England] already?

    R: After he worked here for a few years -- in the past, it was quite common for them to go back to Hong
    Kong to get a wife. Someone introduced us and we both fancied each other. At that time, it was alright
    to me to get married like that as I wanted to leave Hong Kong. It was like a gamble. It was really like a
    gamble.

    I: You were very brave to think about going abroad as you were so young at that time.

    R: No. I was very innocent at that time. I was very obedient to my mum. The circumstance of my family
    was not very good. So I thought that if I married to someone whose financial situation was good, then
    it could help my family's finance.

    I: Is that so? What rank are you?

    R: I am the eldest.

    I: You are the eldest sister.

    R: Yes. I have two younger brothers and two younger sisters.
