This Hong Kong Life
This podcast by KELY Support Group (KELY) highlights stories and conversations with a variety of Hong Kong’s youths all from different backgrounds and provides a medium for young people to connect and understand each other. Each season consists of new stories by different youth discussing a new topic. There are episodes from Cantonese speakers and English speakers. Every person featured experiences our home differently, so we hope that you listen to each episode, connect with these youths, and learn about how they are adding to Hong Kong’s busy days and continuous story.
