But now the Hong Konger and pro democracy activists has been forced to build a new life in the British capital after he fled China's security crackdown on his home city.

Yeah, I can't say we are betraying or not betraying the course off, like fighting for our own rights and fighting for democracy.

But, uh, I think you have to keep leaving.

I mean, unless you have to be, you have to stay alive for any calls or a Gorn who did not want to give his full name out of fear for his safety is not alone.

Nearly 5000 Hong Kong citizens have already applied to live and work in Britain under a new visa scheme which affords Hong Kongers an expedited path to British citizenship.

Britain launched the scheme for holders of a special British national Overseas passport after Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on Hong Kong.

Activists say the law erodes the freedoms promised to the former British colony when it was returned to Chinese rule.

But while the scheme makes it easier for Hong Kongers, to emigrate to Britain.

The struggle of settling into an unfamiliar place still remains.

I shouldn't be touch of domestic, and that's why I started looking for, like waiter jobs or even kitchen assistant job in restaurants or like property shops, store systems or whatsoever.

The new visa scheme could bring over 300,000 Hong Kongers and their dependence to Britain in the next five years.

Hong Kong residents who qualify for the scheme will be allowed to stay in Britain for five years and then apply for settled status and citizenship.

In total, some 5.4 million Hong Kongers could ultimately be eligible.
