支持反送中的57歲香港藝人李婉華,在其YouTube頻道節目表示加拿大工作難找但返回香港卻不易
現年57歲的香港藝人李婉華,過去因在香港社會運動期間於電台播放《願R光》等歌曲,被部分支持民主的年輕人視為「同路人」,她的言行曾引發一定爭議。然而,近二十多年來她一直定居於加拿大,近日卻在其YouTube頻道節目《婉華時報》中,以「真心話大冒險」形式,公開表達對自身移民選擇的反思與不滿,甚至暗示可能考慮回流香港,引起網絡熱議與關注。
在直播中,李婉華望著這片自己生活了二十多年的土地,心中充滿陌生感與失落,感慨道:「以前嘅加拿大唔系咁样㗎!」她坦言,曾經心目中理想的國度,如今已面貌大變。她指出,加拿大當前經濟低迷,物價不斷上漲,令普通居民的生活壓力巨大;治安狀況也持續惡化,各類讓人不安的事件頻繁發生,居民的安全感受到嚴重威脅。對年輕一代而言,境況更為艱難,工作與發展機會有限,前途未明。
李婉華對加拿大當地官員也表達了強烈不滿,直指政策制定脫離實際,官員高高在上,未能真正理解民眾的困境,導致社會陷入惡性循環。她在直播中表示:「你哋啲官唔會冇糧出,係我哋班後生搵唔到工,係我哋窮之嘛,冇錢又要攞救濟,跟住惡性循環。」語氣中流露出對當地社會結構與生活環境的深深無奈與失望。
她還特別提到,當前加拿大勞動市場競爭激烈,本地居民甚至連低階的服務業工作也難以找到,多數崗位被外來移民或特定族裔佔據,當地土生土長的白人也面臨失業與就業困難,形成極大社會壓力。李婉華的這番言論,不僅反映了她個人的生活經歷,也折射出部分移民群體在加拿大面臨的現實困境與社會矛盾。
她的直率表達與對生活環境的批評,迅速在網絡上引發討論,許多網友對她多年海外生活後的感慨表示理解,也有人對她曾經的政治立場與如今言論轉變提出不同看法。無論如何,李婉華此次直播,將她對加拿大社會的真實感受公開呈現,也引起港人及海外華人對移民生活挑戰的廣泛關注。
Li Wan-hua, a 57-year-old Hong Kong entertainer, has recently sparked renewed public attention through her YouTube program “Wan-hua Times”, where she candidly reflected on her life in Canada over the past two decades. In the past, during Hong Kong’s social movements, she faced criticism from some pro-democracy youth for playing the song “願R光” on the radio, which led many to label her a “fellow traveler.” However, after living in Canada for more than 20 years, she openly expressed regret about her decision to immigrate and hinted at the possibility of returning to Hong Kong, drawing widespread discussion online.
During her livestream, Li looked at the country she had called home for so long with a mix of unfamiliarity and disappointment. She lamented, “Canada wasn’t like this before!” She explained that the country she once admired as an ideal place had changed significantly. Canada is now facing economic stagnation, soaring living costs, and deteriorating public safety, with frequent incidents that threaten residents’ security. Young people, in particular, are struggling, facing limited job prospects and few opportunities for personal and professional development.
Li was outspoken in criticizing local authorities, accusing them of being disconnected from the realities faced by ordinary citizens. She stated, “The officials don’t go without pay, but we young people can’t find work. We are poor, have no money, and then need welfare, creating a vicious cycle.” Her remarks reflected both frustration and a sense of helplessness toward the current social and economic environment in Canada.
She also highlighted the challenges in the local labor market, noting that even low-level service jobs are increasingly occupied by immigrants from other regions, leaving fewer opportunities for native-born Canadians. The combination of limited employment options and rising social pressures has made daily life difficult for many residents, including the white population that was historically dominant in these sectors.
Li Wan-hua’s candid reflections have ignited extensive online discussion. Many viewers empathized with her struggles and frustrations after decades abroad, while others debated her changing stance compared to her earlier political associations in Hong Kong. Regardless, her livestream provides a raw and personal insight into the challenges faced by immigrants in Canada and has drawn significant attention from both Hong Kong residents and the global Chinese diaspora.
