A story about hustle, heritage, and the battles we fight before we finally learn who we are. From Hong Kong’s New Territories to London’s startup grind, this essay cuts through family legacy, cultural pressure, and the loneliness of ambition. It is about growing up too fast, burning out too early, and realizing too late that most of your battles were with yourself. A vivid, restless, sharp-edged reflection on work, identity, and learning when to surrender.
