Chinese Languages in Aotearoa: Hakka, with interpreter Henry Liu 

This video has subtitles available in English, Hakka, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese (Mandarin).
Henry Liu is an interpreter and the first and only New Zealander to have held office as President of the FIT (International Federation of Translators). Here, he speaks about language interpretation, the struggles of minority languages, and the difficulties of not being about to communicate.
This video is from our Chinese Languages in Aotearoa series and part of our broader Voices of Asian Aotearoa project, which uses language to highlight complex issues of cultural identity within Asian New Zealand communities.
