Kitty Wong and Adolf Lim are tightening the screws on their future in Taiwan as they make the final touches to a hostel in the southern city of Tainan, that they hope will open its doors to vacationers next month.
The couple from Hong Kong came to Taiwan in search of a stress-free life after being disappointed with the fragmentation of society back in Hong Kong, along with the daily negativity that they found hard to escape. This is the third hostel they are opening since their arrival in 2016.
"The level of evil that you are dealing with is too high, I just see no way out," Lim says, talking about how the Chinese Communist Party is clamping down on freedom in his hometown.
