I moved to Hong Kong in 2009 as a graduate civil engineer, and since then I have been working on a number of government and MTR construction projects with a major Hong Kong contractor.
I married my Japanese fiancée, and last year she gave birth to our first child.
We have made Hong Kong our home and have saved hard to get a deposit to take our first step on the housing ladder. I have just taken the final examination for my professional qualification.
We have integrated well with local and foreign friends in Hong Kong, learned the language, and regularly participate in community activities.
We pay our taxes, and we are - or were - proud to call ourselves Hong Kong people, even if our nationalities are not Chinese.
However, in recent months the government has repeatedly kicked us in the teeth.
