After bidding a rushed farewell to his family, Xavier Cheung came to London by himself a year ago, bringing with him a music dream.

With no financial back-up nor outstanding academic qualification, Xavier, now 28, worked in a restaurant and real estate agency to earn money for rental. After sending tons of his CVs out, a music school extended an offer to him. Within a few months, teaching piano became Xavier’s full-time rather than part-time job. He even started his own company. Now he is working hard to earn tuition for a master’s degree in music.
