回流各有因由



J是專業人士,移居加拿大超過二十年,事業有成。家居華厦,名車代步,羨煞旁人。正當事業到達巔峯之時,為何突然辭官歸故里?主權回歸後的香港繼續繁榮興盛,並與祖國同步邁進。J看在心裡,而且深信自己之經驗和能力,可重返舊地一顯身手。機不可失,坐言起行。

近年加國樓市熾熱,是賣屋的黄金機會。加上加元匯率高企,是把加元兌換港幣之最佳時機。J看準形勢並當機立斷,獲益匪淺。J智勇雙全,是識時勢之俊傑,萬中無一。J的回流算是衣錦還鄉!

C是個畫家。當年面對1997年回歸後不明朗之形勢,一家三口貿然從香港移民到人地生疏之加拿大。先把家庭安頓,然後尋找就業機會。但由於文化差異,無法一展所長。沮喪之情,不言而喻。後悔當初移民的决定是操之過急。如何補救?進退維谷。經過再三思慮之後,C決定了吃回頭草。回歸當然是勞民傷財的事,但總不能坐以待斃。C並非罕見的例子,與他處境相同的人多不勝數!

我退休後定居於加國,轉瞬間就十五載。既然已離開職場,且無J一樣之雄心和進取,亦無C之焦慮與徬徨,所以樂不思蜀。但當我冷眼旁觀,就可發覺不少移民家庭由於現實所廹,夫婦各據一方和子女離巢他往終非長久之計。中國近年的經濟發展吸引了不少人回流,是始料不及的現象。

  1. David,
    正所謂有人辭官歸故里,有人連夜趕科塲,所有這些現象
    都是見怪不怪,而各人所持的價值觀及人生觀之不同,通過
    回流或留守加國而表現出來.,正如有些人喜歡夜夜笙歌,有
    些人獨愛清風明月,而我與你都情有獨鐘加國的秀麗山河.
    過着簡單而充实的生活.

  2. Hi David: just back from a 4000 miles road trip driving thru Reno, Elko, Salt lake, Rocksprings, Chenyene Wyoming to Denver Colorado spent a month to see the real America. the REAL American are different from what we see in LA, SF, NYC or even Toronto. people there are driving 4x4 trucks wirh an American flags, wear jeans, cowboy hats, eat steaks and hambergers and most of them have no passports. 90% white of course. now we are relaxing at home enjoying the Californian sunshine, today is about 76 degree warm, can you believe that?
    your article about the sake of returning to HK. I am almost 40 years here. HK to me just a tourist spot. I do not think that I could
    live there anymore, it is not the HK that we were there 40/50 years ago.
    Regards
    George
