This website will contain as much information as possible regarding my family ….
Another thing which struck me was how important it was to chronicle life in Hong Kong when I was growing up! The world of amahs, cookboys and fah wongs, compradores, being taken to clubs and to my grandmother, Balia, for piano lessons by my cookboy has disappeared.
The freedom we had as kids, playing at the Police Club unattended, having eight month leaves every four years with my family, school life, club life – all that is so incredibly different now and it would be hard for my grandkids to imagine what it was like if I don’t explain it properly!
Anyway, it was a brilliant life in Hong Kong and I consider myself so lucky to have experienced what it was like all those years ago.
I have started a Facebook Group called
«White Russian Émigrés From China»
for people who are in my position – trying to find out more about their past.
If you’d like to join, please do! Would love to “meet” you and hear your stories 😄
