Discrimination is more cruel than the squid game, new immigrants get pregnant and work tricks

In recent years, online speech has become more intensified, making it more common for new immigrants to be discriminated against.

A young woman who was newly arrived in Hong Kong went out to earn money to support her family after three months of pregnancy. She worked overtime in the early morning when she was working as a cash register. She was deliberately closed by a male colleague for 1.5 hours. After being rescued, she had a fever and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. Closed-circuit television confirmed that the male colleague committed the crime, and was finally settled by her boss. She resigned and was no longer held accountable. She suffered from severe depression and required long-term medication.

Today (22nd) meeting with new immigrants to listen to the hardships of EOC Chairman Zhu Minjian said that he has proposed to the government to legislate in four directions, and the initial response is positive. It is expected that legislation will be amended by the end of next year as soon as possible.

The Chairman of the EOC meets with new immigrants and listens to the live situation in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Association of Community Organizations and a group of new immigrants met with the Chairman of the Equal Opportunities Commission Zhu Minjian at the Sham Shui Po Social Association Office today (22nd) to learn about the discrimination faced by locals after new immigrants came to Hong Kong.

Ms. Tseng, 30, works in the Mainland. Her husband at the time was married and pregnant. She came to Hong Kong from the Mainland to reunite with her husband just after the birth of her son. She doesn’t work and has bad habits. The burden of the family rests on her alone. She has been a dishwashing, trash-handling and even a waiter in a restaurant. She has been discriminated against by local colleagues, but her husband is too lazy to reach out to her by the director. She cannot bear to divorce. formalities.

When she was in Hong Kong alone, she still had to make money to support her family. During that time, she worked as a cashier in a chain supermarket. One of her male colleagues was targeted everywhere and only asked her to remove the trash or join an extra job. At the time, she still disagreed. Until she was 3 months pregnant, she was working overtime in the early morning after the market was closed late at night. She was arranged to put chicken wings, pork chops and other frozen meat into the freezer. She suddenly discovered that the cabinet door was closed midway, but it was only 1.5 hours later. A female colleague found out that the door was opened and rescued. At the time, she had a fever to 42°C and was admitted to the hospital. After recuperating for a period of time, she recovered from illness and returned to work. One thing, I have to tell you right, I hope you don’t blame me.” Afterwards, the male boss told her afterwards that after checking the closed-circuit television, it was confirmed that the male colleague had closed the cabinet door. Immigration status was maliciously targeted. Seeing that her boss didn't want to make matters worse, she finally resigned without further investigation.

Ms. Tseng admitted that she had suffered from severe depression due to her long-term dissatisfaction in Hong Kong. She had taken two bottles of sleeping pills and attempted to commit suicide. She was eventually admitted to the hospital for gastric lavage. Now she regularly visits the psychiatric department for follow-up consultations. She believes that Hong Kong’s discrimination against new immigrants has convinced her. Not angry.

She was teased by her living-in grandma for coming to Hong Kong for reunion and asking for quick money

Another, Ayan, from Yunnan, has a son with her husband. After she came to Hong Kong to live with her grandmother, she was discriminated against by the other party because of her identity in the Mainland. "Mum", the other party turned a blind eye, and even hurriedly said, "I don't want to listen to you and the mainland dialect." When she took the initiative to do all the housework at home, wiped the floor and folded her shirt and kicked, the other party said, "Don't do it. You are a mainlander who married before as a chicken. You don’t think you’re good to me, so you just want to count it.” She felt sad when she heard that, and felt weak at her husband’s inadvertent mediation. In the end, the divorce between the two parties ended. Hong Kong and Shenzhen deeply feel the unwarranted malice of the locals towards new immigrants, "I don't care about you, I don't care about you, I don't care about you, and all feelings are painful and prejudiced."

Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Social Association, said that even if the new immigrants did not conflict with anyone and wanted to be hated and insulted for no reason, part of the reason was that some people left messages on the Internet to incite hatred between China and Hong Kong. Of new immigrants or discriminatory acts against Chinese citizens are officially defined as racial discrimination.

She also advocated integrating the concept of racial equality into local kindergarten and elementary school textbooks, eliminating discriminatory concepts from the growth period, and allowing new immigrants to accelerate their integration into society.
