Cover Story
M
yanmar, the country formerly known as Burma, is in the throes of a historic
transition. The military has given up direct rule after more than a half century in
power. Parliamentary elections have been held, and the long-imprisoned democracy
campaigner, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been sworn in as a member of parliament. She
visited Thailand in late May – the first time she has been allowed to travel abroad
since 1988 – followed by a visit to several European countries, including Norway to
collect the Nobel Peace Prize that was originally awarded to her in 1991.
The University of Hong Kong has been lending support
to Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Myanmar for
years, inside and outside the country. Since 2006, at
least 20 students from Myanmar have enrolled in a
variety of programmes at HKU, including Arts, Education,
International and Public Affairs, Journalism and Media
Studies, Law, Medicine and Social Work. Aung San Suu
Kyi herself was awarded a degree of Doctor of Laws
honoris causa by HKU earlier this year. Students and
faculty members have worked with Myanmar refugees
along the Thai-Myanmar border and visited five European
countries this month.
This programme of support has operated largely
under the stewardship of Professor Ian Holliday, the
former Dean of Social Sciences. Holliday says there is
a “massive need” to build capacity at the universities
inside Myanmar itself.
“During the interwar period, Rangoon University (now
Yangon University) was one of the most successful
universities in Asia,” he says. Aung San Suu Kyi’s father,
General Aung San, was once the editor of Rangoon
University’s student newspaper. But following a
pro-democracy student uprising in 1988, the quality
and accessibility of tertiary education in the country
decreased dramatically.
As the country rebuilds its universities, Holliday says,
HKU is ready to offer support. “The University of Hong
Kong is an Asian leader, operating on an Asian canvas,
with an Asian mandate.”
In March, he and other representatives from HKU met
with the deputy minister and the director of higher
education in the Myanmar capital, along with the rectors
of Yangon University and the Yangon University of
To Myanmar

Cover Story
Foreign Languages. Plans are underway to bring faculty
and administrators from Myanmar universities to
Hong Kong to shadow their counterparts at HKU, as
well as to train staff in country to develop curricula and
research programmes.
The HKU library has launched a book drive, “Books for
Myanmar”, in order to begin rebuilding the collections
at Yangon University. The library has already identified
6,000 of its own duplicate titles for donation. It is also
collecting books on a variety of topics from HKU’s
faculty and staff.
Participants in the MOEI programme have also been
instrumental in promoting awareness of Myanmar
culture on campus through such student groups as
“Connecting Myanmar”, a non-profit initiative that aims
to provide medical, educational and other services to
the Myanmar refugees and to nurture HKU students as
leaders in solving the problems the country faces during
its reconstruction.
This year, a new pilot scheme facilitated by U Aung
Kyaw Oo, the Consul General of the Union of Myanmar
in Hong Kong, sent two HKU undergraduates to
teach English at the Yangon
University of Foreign
Languages. In addition, the
Campus YMCA programme
will take students from HKU, the Chinese University of
Hong Kong and Hong Kong Polytechnic University on a
trip to Myanmar this summer to help provide medical
care and other services.
HKU students have been passionately involved
with the people and culture of Myanmar
A key part of HKU’s engagement with Myanmar has
been the MOEI programme, which was formed by the
Faculty of Social Sciences to provide intensive Englishlanguage education for Myanmar migrant children and
adults located along the Moei River, which forms the
border between Myanmar and Thailand. The organisation
also works to boost external engagement with Myanmar
and to promote Myanmar advocacy.
Every summer since 2008, between 30 and 35 HKU
students have participated in the programme, to teach
English to thousands of refugees and unofficial
migrants in the border area.
Here in Hong Kong, there has been a student-organised
“Burma Week” on campus for the past four years,
featuring forums on Myanmar current events, cultural
exchanges, and a film festival. In mid-June this year,
the sixth annual HKU Myanmar conference, with the
theme “Myanmar in Reform 2012”, was held on campus,
bringing together prominent Chinese- and Englishspeaking scholars as well as political leaders from
Myanmar.
The University of Hong Kong is proud to have stood side
by side with the people of Myanmar in the past, and
continues to do so at the dawn of this hopeful new era.

“... you (HKU) have done so much to help
the cause of democracy in Burma...”

In recognition of Aung San Suu Kyi’s commitment to
the non-violent struggle for democracy and human
rights, The University of Hong Kong bestowed upon her
a degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa at its 186th
Congregation on March 15, 2012.
a very short period,” she said. “But even a short period,
even a matter of days, or even a matter of hours, would
mean a great deal to me, as you have done so much to
help the cause of democracy in Burma, simply by your
interest and your enthusiastic support.”
“Laws concern us in many ways, not just the making
of laws, but the administration of laws,” she told the
assembled audience by video link. “We are, at the
moment, thinking of laws in many ways, laws as
part of the legislative process, laws as part of the judicial
process.”
Aung San Suu Kyi was a key figure in forming the prodemocracy party, the National League for Democracy
(NLD), in the late 1980s. She was already under house
arrest by Burma’s military regime when her party won
the 1990 general election in a landslide victory, and the
ruling generals never allowed the NLD to take power. By
the time of her release in November 2010, she had spent
a total of 15 years under house arrest. She had also been
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1991.
“Only with a strong, independent, honest judiciary, and
a strong, independent legislature that truly reflects the
will of the people, will we be able to look on laws as a
protective body for our “People should not be categorised as good or evil, wise or stupid. It would be much

she said.

In presenting her to the congregation, Professor Michael
Wilkinson of HKU’s Faculty of Law said, “Daw Suu’s
influence has been and remains truly global. She is an
inspiration to us all.”
At the conferral, Daw Suu said she hopes to visit HKU
in person in the near future, and lauded HKU’s ongoing
support for the Myanmar people. “I will be able to come

Follow Your Heart
Carl Browne
(Internship Programme Co-ordinator,
Faculty of Social Sciences)
In 2008, an e- mail changed Carl Browne’s life
forever. “I was a politics and law student in the
UK and was about to graduate,” Browne says.
“Then I got an e-mail from my university saying
if you want to go to Myanmar for the summer,
send this person an email.”
Browne’s MOEI journey began with an email to
Professor Ian Holliday, then Dean of the Faculty
of Social Sciences at HKU.
“I knew absolutely nothing about Myanmar back
then,” Browne says. “It was the first year when
MOEI launched. Of all the MOEI participants, I
was probably the least informed.”
He was sent to the Myanmar refugee camps
along Thailand’s border with Myanmar, populated
mainly by Karen refugees, and became
fascinated by the people and culture he found
there. Browne stayed in Nupo refugee camps,
sharing rations with residents, then moved to
Mae La camp to teach English. Three years later,
Browne is funding a new school in Mae La Oon
camp so that more of the children there can
receive an education.
“I never thought of going back to London,”
Browne says. “The only reason why I left Mae
La last month for Hong Kong is because I am
managing things for MOEI. I am still connected to
Mae La and Nupo and I still get to go back.”
When asked why he is so passionate about
working with the refugees, Browne says he is
simply following his heart.
“In the refugee camps, you wake up in the
morning and you are in the middle of a jungle.
The food is basic, you eat two meals a day and
you wash your bucket every day. People respect
each other. There is a strong sense of community.
Everyone is well cared for.”
“My three-year experience there was amazing,”
Browne says. “If I’m 70 or 80 and have a few
breaths left, I can say I’ve had more experience
than any of my friends who sat at offices doing
banking for five years.”
An Unforgettable Experience
Edward Tsoi
(Psychology and Politics, Year Two)
Edward Tsoi, a second year social sciences student from
Hong Kong, joined the MOEI programme in summer 2011
and was sent to Mae Sot, a town in Thailand bordering
Eastern Myanmar that receives many refugees from the
Karen tribe.
“I was shocked by how cruel the reality can be on the other
side of the same continent,” says Tsoi, who taught refugee
children English in Mae Sot.
“I had this student. He’s 14 years old, not even five feet tall.
He told me his mum was killed in the civil war between his
Karen tribe and the military regime. He has no siblings and
his dad is away in Bangkok to earn a living.”
Tsoi also recalled his shock when he assigned students to
write a composition on the subject of “An Unforgettable
Day”.
“Unforgettable it was, for me to read what was written,”
Tsoi says. “My simple lesson became complicated when
I got the assignments back. There was a ninth grader who
described the day he saw his friend die right in front of his
eyes – shot by the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army.”
“They think it’s normal because it happens so often,” he
says. “This was the most shocking of all, to believe that it is
common to see family and friends get killed every now and
then.”
For Tsoi, his unforgettable experience with the young
refugees was the beginning of a new journey. “There was a
bond,” he says. “How could there not be? I did not want to
leave, I want to do more for them.”
He started planning what became HKU’s “Connecting
Myanmar” programme, which will do more than teach
the refugees English. “We have architecture students,
journalism students, nursing and medicine students,” he
says. “We can build schools, report news, and help with
health education.”

Don’t Forget Us
Speaking Out for the Kachin
Anushri K Alva (BSocSc 2010)
Luxi Fang
(Psychology and French, Year Two)
Anushri K Alva, a graduate in International Politics and
Sociology from India, first entered the MOEI programme
in 2008, with a three-week placement at the Mae La camp
for temporarily displaced people.
“I find the phrase ‘temporarily displaced people’ amusing,”
says Alva, “because many people in Mae La have been
there for more than a decade and the situation in Myanmar
has only worsened in that time.”
She found that the camp, home to more than 50,000
refugees, reminded her of her hometown in India. “It had
the charm of a quiet, scenic village,” she recalls. “The
chickens protecting their young ones, the pigs and their
nonchalant manner, the bamboo huts and the muddy road
were all so familiar.”
Familiar, that is, except for the armed guards, the jeeps of
the various international organisations, and the unavoidable
presence, in the minds of the refugees, of the troubles that
drove them from their home.
“I remember we would play a game where one student
would stand in the middle of the circle and say, ‘Everyone
who is wearing a red shirt stand up and change places’,
or something similar,” Alva says. “One time, one of my
students said, ‘Everyone whose mother is dead, stand up
and change places.’”
Stunned, Alva watched as the students laughed and
scrambled to change places, as if this were the most
natural thing in the world.
A week before Alva was due to return home, one of her
students suggested that the teachers at the camp “are like
the weather: they keep changing”.
“He wasn’t angry with me,” Alva explains. “He was just
stating a fact. Many of [my students] had no idea where
their family was anymore, and they had escaped from
Myanmar years ago. Being abandoned was part and parcel
of life for them.”
She returned to Mae La in January 2011 and once again her
students grabbed her hands. “Teacher, please don’t forget
us,” the child pleaded. “Please come back.”

While the world celebrates the apparent return to democracy
in Myanmar and Aung Sang Suu Kyi’s landslide victory in
parliamentary elections there in April, Luxi Fang, a secondyear undergraduate in social sciences, is working to help
some of the country’s still beleaguered ethnic minorities.
“More people need to know about Myanmar in depth,” says
Fang. “Not just in a superficial way from BBC or CNN news,
which only talk about the changing democracy, coming
peace and Aung San Suu Kyi all the time. That is not true for
the whole of Myanmar. Many ethnic groups, like the Kachin,
are still suffering from the civil war.”
The Kachin ethnic minority has been fighting the Myanmar
army intermittently for more than 60 years, and oppression is
still a fact of life.
Many Kachin people fled as a result to border areas
controlled by the Kachin Independence Organization, or
across the border into China’s Yunnan province, says Fang, a
mainland Chinese. “There is not so much information about
the Kachin compared with Karen refugees in Thailand. I think
it’s mainly because of the Chinese government’s denial of
any foreign interference.”
Determined to do something for the refugees, Fang
packed her bags in May to head for Kachin State, in the
northernmost corner of the country. She found it was
difficult to get there via Yangon, so she drove in directly from
Yunnan. “I crossed the border on a motorbike, illegally,” she
says. “It is easy for me since I am Chinese. Many Chinese
cross the border every day to do business with Kachin
people.”
Fang is spending the summer visiting refugee camps
and meeting community-based organisations to explore
the possibility of involving HKU’s “Connecting Myanmar”
programme with local social services.
Her experience with the refugees was transformational,
Fang says, and “I don’t want to take my easy life for granted
anymore.”
“After my graduation, I want to do documentaries related to
Myanmar, possibly with Filmaid international,” she says. “I
want to provide refugees with another way of being heard.”

Writing Stories for a Global
Audience
Protecting the Rights of
the Voiceless
Swe Win (MJ 2009)
Pum Kai Htang (LLM 2010)
Swe Win, one of the Myanmar students who studied at
HKU’s Journalism and Media Studies Centre, has been
signed on by the New York Times to write opinion pieces
from Myanmar several times a month.
An internationally known human rights lawyer, Aung
Htoo, who visited the HKU Centre for Comparative and
Public Law in 2010, looks for the day that common law is
re-established in Myanmar. In a paper, “Seeking Judicial
Power: With a Special Focus on Burma’s Judiciary”, he
called for a judiciary “that is not only independent from
legislative and executive controls but also neutral, objective,
competent and free from all external influences.”
Swe Win returned to Myanmar in February, after receiving
his Master of Journalism degree and then working for a
Myanmar exile newspaper in Thailand. The Times’s web
site published his story in March describing how it felt to
return home after years of exile.
He has since written several op-ed columns for the
newspaper.
While happy to be home, Swe Win said he remains
cautious about the recent and much-noted reforms by
Myanmar’s former military regime.
Referring to Aung San Suu Kyi, the long-imprisoned
democracy campaigner who is free after many years and
is now a member of Myanmar’s new parliament, he wrote:
“As a friend of mine quipped recently, while freedom may
have come for her, it has not for the rest of us yet”.
Swe Win’s participation in a student movement in 1998 led
to his arrest for anti-government activities. He went on to
spend seven long years in Myanmar’s notorious prisons.
With a scholarship from the Open Society Foundations, he
enrolled in HKU’s Journalism and Media Studies in 2008
under the pseudonym Kyaw Kyaw Thein.
He returned to Yangon, the former Myanmar capital, in
February to work for The Irrawaddy as the magazine’s first
correspondent there.
He says his studies at HKU “gave me an understanding of
how to write stories for a global audience” – a skill he is
now putting to practical use.
Perhaps that time is coming, as Myanmar struggles to
transform itself from a military dictatorship to a democracy.
Until that time, HKU Law graduate Pum Kai Htang is
working to improve the rights of Myanmar citizens outside
the country.
“I am currently with an international organisation in an
Asian country where thousands of Myanmar migrant
workers, asylum seekers and refugees are struggling with
life’s challenges,” he says. “My main job: protecting the
rights of the voiceless.”
While studying for a Master of Laws degree in Human
Rights, Pum Kai Htang worked at the Hong Kong Refugees
Advice Centre, meeting asylum seekers from many
countries.The work improved his professionalism, he says,
and also taught him about “changing people’s lives for
the better”.
Of his current work, he says, “It’s no easy job working to
protect the rights of your own people in a foreign land.
However, the knowledge, the skills, the confidence and the
experience that I acquired while at HKU have always helped
me overcome obstacles and challenges, and move forward
amid difficulties.”
“My law studies have transformed me and made me a professional
with the power and the ability to change individuals and societies
for the better.”

UNESCO Chair in
Comparative Education
Dr Tang Qian (3rd right), UNESCO
Assistant Director-General for Education,
was joined by Professor Mark Bray (1st left),
the UNESCO Chair Holder;
Professor Roland Chin,
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (2nd left); and
Professor Stephen Andrews (3rd left),
Dean of Education.
The Faculty of Education launched the UNESCO Chair in Comparative Education, the first Chair
specifically to be framed by the field of Comparative Education among the 74 established Chairs
of its 195 Member States.
Members of the Faculty have long focused on dimensions of quality education across cultures
and income groups, and Hong Kong as a whole needs to be involved in sustainable development
as much as other parts of the world. The creation of the UNESCO Chair opens a new avenue for
collaboration with multiple partners to serve both local and global communities.
“Education for All” (EFA) and “Education for Sustainable Development” (ESD) are UNESCO’s two
flagship programmes. These two programmes will provide the core mandate for the UNESCO Chair
in Comparative Education at HKU.
Professor Mark Bray, the UNESCO Chair Holder, is a founding member of the Comparative
Education Research Centre (CERC) at HKU, which opened in 1994, and is its current Director. He
was appointed to a personal Chair of Comparative Education in 1999. Between 2006 and 2010 he
was granted leave from HKU to take up the post of Director of UNESCO’s International Institute for
Educational Planning (IIEP) in Paris. Between 2004 and 2007, Professor Bray was President of the
World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES).
A launch ceremony was held on May 18, 2012. It was
followed by a lecture on “Sustainability and Education for
All: Partnership for Service in the Global Village” delivered
by Professor Mark Bray, and a Community Dialogue with
Professor Lee Ngok, Vice-President, UNESCO-HK;

The Road, made by those who walked before us,
kindles a flame with insight,
Knowledge enlightening our souls,
With a spirit of exploration we seek after wisdom.
Seasons change, but our heritage remains.
This journey of a hundred years has nurtured us,
Sharpened our vision and broadened our horizon.
Brighten us with virtues; Brighten us with the clarity
and perseverance of courage.
Let wisdom be our shield,
Guard our intellect as we tread the path,
Even through the darkest night our spirit remains ablaze,
Abounding in truth - this is our motto.
Standing fast against the wind and storm this is our motto.
We blaze a trail, following our hearts, pursuing truth;
Seeking insight, we build the future.
With wisdom, we embrace freedom and commitment,
Discerning right from wrong, like the holy fire,
burning ever brighter when challenged.
The world advances, a heritage built by generations.
From the last hundred years to the next,
We learn from history, we create history.
(A translation)
This is an unprecedented collaboration of three
masters of Canto-Pop, Sam Hui 許冠傑 (BA 1971),
Lin Xi 林夕 (BA 1984) and Adrian Chow 周博賢
(LLB 1991; PCLL 1992; LLM 1994), alumni of HKU
from different generations.
Since its inception, HKU has been one of the prime
movers of Hong Kong culture. Not only culture in the
sense of philosophy and high art, but also of popular
longings and desires. Over time HKU has generated
a host of alumni who, through their groundbreaking
creative works, speak to common people’s sentiments
and help shape a local collective identity.
Sam Hui, with his bold infusion of local vernacular into
western Rock and Pop music genres in the 1970s,
literally created a new language of pop music. His
songs offered a progressive sound and a uniquely
incisive take on the trials and tribulations of ordinary
people. They have since become the collective
soundtracks for a whole generation making their mark
in a rapidly modernising Hong Kong.
Lin Xi’s lyrics have been a benchmark in the culture of
Canto-Pop, thanks to his seemingly incessant stream
of outstanding works since the 1980s. From the
diverse notions of love and life, to the reflections on
the younger generations’ attitudes to political issues,
(From left) Alfred Hui 許廷鏗 (BDS, Year 5), Sam Hui, Kay Tse and
Adrian Chow took part in the recording.
his blend of the mundane and the philosophical has
inspired many lyricists, not only locally but throughout
the Greater China and overseas Chinese community.
Though Adrian only started his music career in the
21st century, his key outputs via Kay Tse 謝安琪,
Arts alumna, have established him as an all-round
composer-lyricist-arranger-producer. His hybrid
music styles are unmistakably of the new age.
Yet in his compassionate tunes of socio-cultural
concerns, we can see echoes of Sam Hui, harking
back to the “people’s voices” of the 1970s.
Over the years, we have debated and elaborated
on the core values of HKU. We are thankful the three
alumni from three generations, on this important day
of reflection, contribute their thoughts on the topic.
“Brighten Me with Virtues”, unadorned, uplifting
and from the heart. This is a song to remind us
that we must continue to hold on and spread
the quintessential core values of our Alma Mater.

Vice-Premier Li Visits HKU
At the Centenary Ceremony held on August 18, 2011, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang 李克強 of the
State Council of the People’s Republic of China, unveiled the plaques of:
• the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases (Partner Laboratory at the
HKU – Shenzhen Branch) 「香港大學新發傳染性疾病國家重點實驗室伙伴實驗室深圳分室」; and
• the Hong Kong – Guangdong Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research Centre
「粵港幹細胞及再生醫學研究中心」.
State Key Laboratories (SKLs) are key components of China's science and technology research
system. They serve as the base for top-level basic research and applied basic research development,
assembling and nurturing outstanding researchers, as well as scholarly exchanges for the country.
So far, four SKLs have been set up in HKU.
The first two are Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Emerging Infectious Diseases. They were
set up in 2005 and were then the first and only SKLs in their respective fields located outside
mainland China. Liver Research and Synthetic Chemistry were established in 2010.
Vice-Premier Li also announced that starting from 2012, the relevant department of the central
government will set up a dedicated fund to support studies, exchange programmes, research
scholarships, experiential learning and social service practices in mainland China for 1,000 HKU
students and staff each year.
The HKU – China 1,000 Exchange Scheme was kicked off on April 26, 2012 at
Fudan University in Shanghai. The ceremony was attended by HKU students and faculty members
from both universities as well as government representatives.
「香港大學千人內地交流計劃」每年支持1,000名港大師生到內地交流，於2012年4月26日在上海復旦

潘永華、上海市政府副秘書長翁鐵慧及其他高校代表等十餘位嘉賓出席啟動儀式。

Vice-Premier Li Keqiang delivered his speech in Putonghua, switching to English for the closing part:
“I echo Vice-Chancellor Tsui’s view. Indeed,
HKU is for Hong Kong, attracting talents and
educating people to promote Hong Kong’s prosperity.
HKU is for China. It has become a key highereducation institution in China, playing an increasingly
important role in China’s development and its
integration with the world. And HKU is also for
the world, becoming an integral part of the world’s
academic community in advancing human
knowledge… I strongly believe that the next one
hundred years of the University will be even better.”
Lord Wilson of Tillyorn, Chancellor of the University
of Aberdeen and also HKU alumnus, began his speech
in Putonghua before changing back to English.
He expressed his delight at joining the University’s
Centenary 50 years after he first stepped on the
campus as a student in 1960:
“我第一次來到香港是 1960 年，是為了進入香港大學
讀書，學習普通話。我當時想不到再過 50年，我會
參加這一次慶祝港大百周年的儀式。這當然是我非常
的高興。”

Freedom and Diversity
The visit of Vice-Premier Li Keqiang on August 18, 2011 has generated
intense debates and reflections. In light of the controversies surrounding the
ceremony in terms of security, seating and invitations, the University Council
subsequently set up a Review Panel to establish appropriate mechanisms
and policies for future University events in ways that reflect the University's
continued commitment to its core values of freedom, liberty and diversity.
For the Report by the Review Panel, please visit www.hku.hk/rpanel/
On February 3, 2012, the Council accepted in principle the goodwill and
recommendations of the report, and resolved to invite the University
Management to set up a task force which will work with the Council to look
into the recommendations of the report. A Steering Committee was set up
with Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Roland Chin as convenor to study
the feasibility of the recommendations. It will also steer and oversee the
implementation of the recommendations where appropriate.

On Future Use of the Main Building
The Main Building is the iconic heritage building of the University. The University is collecting
ideas and suggestions on how the Main Building should best be utilised after the Faculty of Arts
has moved to the Centennial Campus this summer. A consultation exercise was launched in
April 2012. Professor Bernard Lim 林雲峰 (BA(ArchStud) 1979; BArch 1981; MSc in UrbanPlanning
1985) was appointed as the independent consultant of the exercise. Three forums were held
in April and May where students, staff and alumni shared their views and suggestions.
In a recent email to the HKU Family, Pro-Vice-Chancellor John Malpas said:
“In planning the future use of the building, the key principle is that it should remain
the ‘Public Face of the University’. We have identified five potentially compatible
uses including facilities which are student-related, alumni-related, administrationrelated, public-related and staff-related. We also need to realise that, as a Declared
Monument, modifications to the Main Building are subject to numerous constraints
and the approval of a number of government departments and statutory bodies
is necessary.”
The consultation will move to the next stage. Two design workshops will be conducted in July.
Professor Lim, together with students from the Faculty of Architecture, will facilitate
the workshops.

An Impact on New Perspectives
“I am gratified to have this opportunity to return a small part of what I managed to
reap with what my alma mater equipped me with during my undergraduate days.”
Dr Gallant Ho 何耀棣博士 (BA 1965)
Experiential learning is a fundamental and distinctive feature of HKU’s new undergraduate curriculum.
It takes students into workplaces and other settings where they have direct encounters with the
phenomena being studied. It is a powerful form of learning through which students develop an
integrated and holistic understanding of the issues and the skills required to deal with them. Students
learn how to engage in critical intellectual enquiry by putting textbook knowledge to the test, tackle
novel situations and ill-defined problems, and become global citizens.
Over
1,000 students a year will be benefitted
Dr Gallant Ho has pledged a generous HK$33.3 million donation to establish the Gallant Ho Experiential
Learning Centre to facilitate and promote experiential learning at HKU. The Centre will work with

“Our Foundation is delighted that the University shares our vision to establish
an endowed chair professorship to honour the late Dr Joseph Needham,
who directed the monumental work “Science and Civilisation in China”,
and the late Dr Philip Wen Chee Mao, our Founding Chairman.
Dr Needham’s tireless effort resulted in the first rigorous study of the great historical
contribution that China has made to scientific knowledge. Dr Mao, a distinguished
surgeon in Hong Kong, led the effort to establish a permanent home for Dr Needham’s
library at Cambridge, England, now known as the Needham Research Institute. We hope
that this Chair will encourage even greater cooperation on the study of science
and civilisation in China in future.”

After the Annual General Meeting, Dr Peter Cunich,
Associate Professor of the Department of History, shared
on “The Foundation of the University and Beginnings of
Educational Philanthropy in Hong Kong”, in which he related
some hitherto unknown stories. For instance, if it were not
Sir H N Mody’s tremendous efforts in negotiating with
the Government, the University would be located at the
very crowded and less desirable “Tai-Ping-Shan” area,
instead of the verdant hillside above the Bonham Road/
Pok Fu Lam Road intersection.

Convocation
Message from the Chairman
The past year has not been easy for the University
or for those who care for our alma mater. As we
continue to celebrate the Centenary of the University,
notwithstanding the unfortunate incident in August
2011, it was gratifying to see a record turnout at the
Gala Dinner just before Christmas, reflecting the
strong solidarity of the wider University family. Behind
all these, however, there seems to be an important
dimension emerging from this development —
the University's positioning in future against its
historical roles in this community, in Greater China
and in the world, and how the University should go
about adjusting to it. While this will take time to evolve,
perhaps Convocation could take a lead in starting a
discussion in some way. After all, this University does
not belong only to the students; it also belongs to the
staff, as well as to the many alumni of the University.
In my previous messages, I have often mentioned the
purposes of Convocation, our activities and what we
are trying to do at the Standing Committee and our
sub-committees. This time I would like to update you
on some of our recent developments.
In the past year, we started a series of sharing
with senior University members among Standing
Committee members and alumni leaders on the
latest developments at the University. This facilitates
an ongoing dialogue between Convocation and the
University, and an exchange of views on various
developmental matters. We hope to continue the
series more regularly in future and to open it to
a wider segment of interested alumni leaders.
Convocation Forum on A Dialogue with the New
Generation: If I were the Chief Executive
（假如我是特首：年青人的想像與期望）co-organised with
the 30SGroup in February. In March, we had a joint
conference with the Convocation of The Chinese
University of Hong Kong to examine how universities
in Hong Kong can contribute more to the development
of China. Further down the road, we hope to revive a
previous activity of sending Convocation delegations
to other parts of the world. Our last delegation went to
Tibet nearly a decade ago. We are planning to have one
or two delegations to places where the University has
major collaborations. Do watch out for our notices.
In the area of University affairs, and against the
backdrop of the Centenary Celebrations, we are
currently conducting a research project on some of the
key issues in the future development of the University.
We will continue the dialogue with the University and
hope to develop recommendations for the University.
By being more active in organising events, which are
not usually the ones organised by over 100 alumni
bodies, we hope to build a more vibrant alumni
community, and to strengthen our platform for the
exchange of views between alumni and the University.
I hope we can see some results in the coming years.
From all of us at the Standing Committee, have a nice
holiday this summer!
From time to time, the Standing Committee organises
activities through several sub-committees, each with
a separate area of focus. This year we have already had
several major events as part of the HKU Centenary
Celebrations programmes. In January, we had the
Convocation Forum on The Future of The University
of Hong Kong. This was followed by the second
Convocation of The University of Hong Kong（香港大學畢業生議會）is a statutory body
comprising graduates and teaching staff of the University.

Convocation
Convocation Forum I
The Way Forward
Convocation members discuss the future of HKU
HKU has risen to many challenges over the past
century. What will happen in the next hundred years?
The 818 Incident and the expected leadership change
in 18 months’ time have led to a lot of questions,
doubts, comments, reflection and discussion among
alumni, staff, students and the general public about
the values, roles and future direction of HKU.
It was against this background that a Convocation
Forum was held on January 14, 2012, to provide
a platform for Convocation members to voice their
views. The forum was well attended with around
100 participants.
In their respective welcoming speech and opening
remarks, S Y Choi 蔡秀煜 (BSocSc 1972), Convocation
Chairman, and Kenneth Tse 謝錦添 (BSc 1973;
DipManStud 1980; MBA 1986), Convocation Standing
Committee Member and moderator of the forum,
invited the participants to share their opinions. Council
Chairman Professor Leong Che-hung 梁智鴻教授
(MBBS 1962; Hon DSc 2006) raised some questions
for the audience: How should HKU move forward
in face of keen competition from other universities?
Is HKU giving its students a good education while
fulfilling the economic and social needs of society?
Is curriculum reform moving in the right direction?
How do our alumni and the general public view HKU?
Four invited distinguished speakers shared
their thoughts.
Professor Edward Chen 陳坤耀教授
(BA 1967; MSocSc 1971; Hon DSocSc
2008), former President of Lingnan
University expressed his strong wish
that HKU could restore its tradition of
liberal arts, as was the case in its first
50 years. The importance of the arts and
the humanities should be emphasised,
and focus should be on the well-being
of the students.
Professor Sun Kwok 郭新教授, Dean of Faculty
of Science, HKU, introduced the new curriculum
in the Faculty that will prepare students for the
21st century. HKU should move from its excellence
in small science towards big science, should align
better with the national priorities of China in
research, such as aerospace technology, and
contribute to the Mainland’s infrastructure.
Mr Antony Leung 梁錦松 (BSocSc 1973), former
Financial Secretary and former Chairman of the
University Grants Committee and of the Education
Commission, pointed out the new features of
the knowledge economy: globalisation, the reemergence of China, and the concentration of capital.
He emphasised the importance of the freedom
of learning through extra-curricular activities.
Professor Roland Chin 錢大康教授, Deputy
Vice-Chancellor and Provost, HKU, shared his
understanding of the vision of HKU, as well as
the many challenges ahead, especially those arising
from the double cohorts of undergraduates and
the new 4-year curriculum. HKU should develop
to a truly first-class international university.
At the Q&A session, participants agreed that
HKU should focus more on the learning of the
undergraduates, in addition to seeking excellence
in research. HKU graduates should have a critical
mind and a heart to serve society. And, HKU should
contribute more to the development of China.

Convocation Forum II
If I were the Chief Executive: Voices from the New Generation
假如我是特首：年青人的想像與期望
On February 11, 2012, Convocation and the
30SGroup（年青智庫「三十會」）invited nine young
university graduates (the post 80s) to share their
career experiences and life aspirations at three
panel discussions.
At the first panel discussion, the three speakers
were Social Activists（社會行動派）. Chung Jah-ying
鍾嘉穎 (BBA(IBGM) 2010) founded her own social
enterprise “Launch Pilots” immediately after
graduation, to enable youngsters to design and
execute innovative social projects. Crystal Chow
周澄, a cultural commentator, participated in the
2010 Legislative Council By-elections and served
for six months with an NGO in the Philippines.
Wong Ho-yin 王浩賢 (BSc 2008) convenor of the
Land Justice League（土地正義聯盟）and member
of District Council, aims to solve social problems
at policy level.
At the second discussion “One Step into the
Establishment”（當青年走入建制）, the three speakers
shared their experience in joining the “establishment”.
Paul Chan 陳智遠 (LLB 2001; PCLL 2002) was Political
Assistant to the Secretary for Food and Health,
HKSAR Government. Marcus Tse 謝子祺 and
Lo Kin-hei 羅健熙 (BSW 2006) joined political parties
and were elected to District Councils. They are full
of conviction that their work will contribute to a better
Hong Kong. But they found that the current political
environment was not attractive to many young people.
40
The theme of the third discussion was “New
Possibilities: My Second Career”（開創第二事業）.
Rico Chan 陳家亮, a former Administrative Officer in
the HKSAR Government, became the coach of the
Hong Kong Arsenal Soccer School. Calvin Tse 謝海發,
who previously worked for a Big 4 accounting firm,
opened a Mexican restaurant. Dr Victor Ng 吳瀚博士
(BEng(EEE) 1999), Senior Consultant, Hong Kong
Productivity Council, volunteers his IT knowledge
to help youngsters combat their drug problems
and finds new meaning of life.
Two main messages were shared by the speakers.
First, young people can break away from traditional
career paths as they have the time and space to
follow their hearts to start their dream careers.
Second, young people must be very clear about their
own values. Only with a strong conviction in their
beliefs can they cope with the pressure to conform
and follow their dreams.
In the final part, each speaker was invited to give
a 2-minute speech on what they would do if elected
as Chief Executive, after which the audience voted
for their Chief Executive.

Joint Convocation Conference
The Roles of HKU and CUHK in China's Development
「港大與中大在中國發展中的角色」
The first-ever joint conference co-organised by
Convocation, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and
Convocation, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
(CUHK), was held on March 17, 2012. It was supported
by the HKUGA Education Foundation and the
CUHKFAA Education Foundation.
The purpose of the conference was to enable the
Convocation members of both universities to learn
more about the engagement and collaboration of
the universities with their Mainland counterparts,
and to discuss the roles both universities
can play and possible contributions to make
to China's development.
Professor Michael Hui King-man 許敬文教授, Pro-ViceChancellor, CUHK, spoke of CUHK’s vision and mission
to bring together China and the West. China Studies
was one of the five distinguished fields of academic
enquiry in CUHK’s Strategic Plan 2006 and serves as
a platform for inter-faculty, interdisciplinary, long-term
collaborations in research and education in relation
to China. CUHK has set up joint research institutes
with Mainland institutions, including the Shenzhen
Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) with the
Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shenzhen
Municipal Government.
Professor Roland Chin 錢大康教授, Deputy ViceChancellor and Provost, HKU, outlined the University’s
strategy – to nurture talents and leaders for China,
to engage mainland in research and innovation,
to serve as a focal point of academic endeavour
in Hong Kong, China, Asia and the
rest of the world, to be an
eminent international university
within China, and to contribute
to the mainland’s reform and
development, especially in higher
education. A number of institutions
have been established, including
the HKU-Shenzhen Hospital, the
Shenzhen Institute of Research
and Innovation (SIRI), the HKU
Shanghai Study Centre,
Zhejiang Institute of Research
and Innovation (ZIRI), and a number of joint
laboratories and four State Key Laboratories.
Professor Chin hoped that Hong Kong’s experiences
of the contemporary university model could serve
as a reference for Mainland counterparts. Changes
have already begun in China’s higher education where
institutional autonomy and the separation of the
academia from politics are emphasised.
The subsequent discussion and Q&A session were
moderated by Chan King-cheung 陳景祥, Chief Editor,
Hong Kong Economic Journal, and Tai Keen-man
戴健文 (BSc 1977; MPhil 1983), Deputy Director
of Broadcasting (Programmes), Radio Television
Hong Kong.
Michelle Li 李美嫦 (LLB 1988), Deputy Secretary
for Education, said that in order to contribute more
to China, Hong Kong would need to seize the
opportunities provided by the Mainland’s development
in the next five years. Cheung Chi-kong 張志剛,
Executive Director of One Country Two Systems
Research Institute, was of the opinion that in the last
thirty years higher education on the Mainland had not
raised its standards sufficiently high compared with
China’s achievements in economic and infrastructure
development. Cheung believed that Hong Kong
universities could serve as role models in governance
and social resources. Lau Yui-siu 劉銳紹, political
commentator, stressed the importance of having
a ‘heart’ for China and a thorough understanding of
the country, and expected more exchanges in Chinese
and Western (or foreign) values in future.

Excerpt from the speech by Dr Raymond Li 李國澤 (BA 1969), President of HKUAA of New York
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;
What will matter is not what you got, but what you gave;
What will matter is not your success, but your significance;
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught;
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, or sacrifice that enriched,
empowered or encouraged people that emulate you;
What will matter is not your competence, but your character;
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will
feel a lasting loss when you have gone;
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that
live in those who loved you;
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what;
Living a life that matters does not happen by accident; it is not
a matter of circumstance but of choice.

The annual Sports Day was held at Stanley Ho Sports Centre. 15 alumni, some with wives and children,
had a great time playing their games with the students and at the lunch afterward.
Returning to the Hall, alumni hosted a late supper at the Hall on March 2, 2012 and the Reunion Dinner
on April 14, 2012. Both were very successful events, with a large student turnout.
At the HKU Reunion at the Races on June 3, 2012, close to 30 alumni presented the University Hall

A tribe of over 150 Riccians and fans of Ricci Hall celebrated their brotherhood and friendship at
Loke Yew Hall. This was the highlight of a series of activities, which included a golf day, a campus
visit and a sharing on HKU development.
In addition to the conventional wining and dining, Riccians also displayed their talents by singing
classical and Chinese opera, among others. Secrets hidden for years were revealed in jest.
Riccians’ misconducts and classified media from anonymous sources filed decades ago were also
finally disclosed in a “RicciLeaks” session, much to everyone’s amusement. They also participated
in a “face-matching” game in which they compared photos taken 50 years ago to today’s.
Everyone had a good time and the sharing of the Riccian Spirit will continue for many, many

Some 600 Skyers alumni demonstrated Simon K Y Lee Hall cheers at the Asia World Expo to bid
farewell to Dr Max Hui-Bon-Hoa 黃元林 on his retirement
Their dearest, all-time favourite Lee Hall Warden, Dr Max, retired in January 2012. To commemorate
this special occasion, over 600 Lee Hall alumni and their family members gathered together and
enjoyed a very high-spirited High Table to say goodbye to Dr Max.
Simon K Y Lee Hall hallmates (or Skyers) are famous for their hall spirit – “Active and Sincere”.
The key man behind this hall spirit is Dr Max who always demonstrates passion and enthusiasm
with his warm and friendly smile.
Dr Max served Lee Hall for 25 years – inspiring our lives and walking with us as a mentor. He has
dedicated both his time and financial support to the Hall. He has written no less than 500 reference
letters for Skyers of different generations to help them kick-start their careers. He has subsidised
current hallmates with empty pockets to take part in overseas exchange programmes. Most of all,
he does these all with passion and sincerity.
Passion and fun filled the entire High Table. The Dinner reached its climax when Skyers of different
generations together demonstrated the traditional cheers of Lee Hall, as well as the floor cheers
of each eight floors on stage. Even though they graduated many years ago, older Skyers still
remembered the cheers and the hall song, and demonstrated them with the same power and unity.
Dr Ken Ng 吳子傑 (BDS 1999) was elected the
Chairman of the SKY Lee Hall Alumni Association
during the Dinner. He wishes to enhance and sustain
the spirit of activity and sincerity in society, and
decided to reinvent the mentorship programme
and make it more attractive.
Please stay tuned for more details of upcoming Hall
events at Facebook: Simon K Y Lee Hall –

Our bonds are still solid and always solid.

At the International Solid-State Circuits Conference,
Professor Poon, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
at Stanford University, demonstrated a tiny, wirelessly powered,
self-propelled medical device capable of controlled motion through
bloodstream. She hopes it will be used for a wide range of
biomedical applications, from delivering drugs to cleaning arteries.
“Such devices could revolutionise medical technology.
Applications include everything from diagnostics to
minimally invasive surgeries.”
Professor Ada Poon (right) with
graduate students Daniel Pivonka (left)
and Anatoly Yakovlev (centre).
In the dish she is holding is the
device that they created.
The idea of implantable medical devices is not new, but most of today’s
implements are challenged by the size of their batteries. Professor Poon’s devices
are different. They consist of a radio transmitter outside the body sending signals
inside the body to an independent device that picks up the signal with an antenna
of coiled wire. The power is transferred wirelessly.
“There is considerable room for improvement and much work remains
before such devices are ready for medical applications. But for the
first time in decades the possibility seems closer than ever.”

Ching Cheong 程翔 (BSocSc 1973)
At the Centenary Book Talk《千日無悔 — 我的心路歷程》：
「我在監獄裡經常思考一個問題：如何使我的牢不白坐？我在回港後經常思考的另一個問題：
如何報答港人對我的幫助？這兩個問題原來都指向一個共同的答案：使我們的國家少一點
冤假錯案、使我們更自覺捍衛香港的核心價值。
我的理解是神想我放下所有仇恨。這理解直接影響我寫此書。當初在入面好困頓時，我想寫
一本我想講的書，但當神說『不要申冤，申冤在我』，令我可以好客觀記載這個過程，不抱
任何仇恨來記載這過程。我覺得如果越寫得客觀、越不帶個人情緒，這本書的參考價值就
更加大。」

Raees is a leading advocate of equal rights for ethnic minorities.

Dr Law Chi-kwong 羅致光 (BSocSc 1976; MSW 1981),
Associate Professor of Social Work and Social Administration,
and participants on Chris Patten's “East and West”.
“In his [Chris Patten] conversation with Lee Kuan Yew,
‘Asian values are actually deep-rooted Confucianism’
which I find quite questionable. If you are talking about Confucianism, is Hong Kong really
that Confucianist? I don’t really think so. Is China really upholding Confucianism?
If you are talking about Asian values, how many countries are we counting as Confuciusbinding countries? Are we talking about just Chinese-dominant cities or countries?
Asia, I guess, does not just involve China, Taiwan, Singapore… we still have a lot of countries,
we still have some Islamic-based countries...”
Susanna Chung 鍾玉文 (BA 2005)
Susanna received the Asian Cultural Council’s Starr Foundation
Fellowship to conduct a research on audience development and

“Audience development is not only about numbers,”
she said during an interview with South China
Morning Post. “But to develop, expand, complicate
and even challenge the interest, knowledge, taste
and expectations of the audience, through providing
opportunities for access, engagement and experiences
with inspirational and innovative works of art.”
During her stay in San Francisco, Susanna was

Sydney James Lowcock 郭慎墀 1930 – 2012 (BSc 1952)
A Tribute to Sydney James Lowcock
“Jimmy had a phenomenal memory, which enabled him to recall the backgrounds of
many of his students. Often he could see a problem in a new light, as though he saw
that white light is not just white but a combination of seven colours through the prism
in his mind. I listened to him talking about the student problems on many occasions
after he came home, and opined if medical problems were involved. His generosity in
offering financial help to needy students was legendary. These student problems were minor compared
to the many problems he faced in education as Headmaster during office hours, which sapped his mind
and body after more than 20 years.”
An excerpt from the eulogy by
Dr Patrick Pau Wing-iu 鮑永耀 (MBBS 1966)
懷念別樹一格的郭慎墀校長
「郭慎墀校長五十年代是我的老師，六十年代是我的上司和朋友。此後我們一直保持聯繫。
學生年代，我受益於他的教學方法和專業精神；任教母校時，我贊同他那不落俗套的教育理念，特別是對課外活動
的重視；作為朋友，我欣賞他那平易近人和坦率的作風。他對學生的關懷和愛護，深深地感染了我，成為了我日後
在教育崗位上的指路明燈。
他跟我們的關係在工作上是主從，工餘則是朋友。郭校長偶爾會在教員室或個別同事的宿舍出現，但更多的時候是
我們到他的住所喝酒和「吹水」。人較少的時候，他會提及個別學生的問題，包括個性上的、學業上的和經濟上
的。我們知道，他的收入，差不多全都用在學生身上。他的為人，為我們豎立了良好的榜樣。」
