Charles CHOI and Ginson LEUNG, graduates of Shue Yan’s Business Administration Department in the 1990s, have lived in Canada for many years. Recently, they returned to their alma mater to revisit the scenery and vitality of the Braemar Hill campus.
Charles, a long-time supporter of Shue Yan, recalled organising the Shue Yan’s tennis team and serving as captain. In his first year competing in intercollegiate tournaments, he secured second place, and the following year, he won the championship. He firmly believes that both juniors and predecessors at HKSYU possess boundless potential. He encourages everyone to seize the opportunities offered by university to strive for their future, expressing his hope that more alumni will bring pride to their alma mater.
After graduating, Charles rose from entry-level roles to become an executive director of a listed company within fifteen years. He actively pursued further education, completing a master’s degree in business administration. In 2006, he bid farewell to the corporate world to support his partner through illness. Once life stabilized, Charles reignited his passion for oil painting by returning to study at the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Art. His works have received international recognition, winning awards at major exhibitions. In recent years, he has devoted himself to philanthropy through art, emphasizing personal growth and self-cultivation. Many of his paintings have been sold for charity, and his artistic style has been deeply influenced by a series of works created by his partner, Ginson.
Ginson, also a graduate of Shue Yan’s Business Administration Department, built a successful career in the telecommunications industry, expanding company operations across Chinese Mainland. Just as her career was brightening, she was struck by cancer, which dramatically changed the course of her life. While undergoing treatment, she remained committed to practicing yoga and embarked on a spiritual journey. She holds a deep belief that “an honest heart moves heaven,” and hopes to spread positive thoughts through writing, with a lifelong goal of serving others.
Over the past decade, Ginson has published a series of books on spiritual rebirth based on her personal experiences. During this visit to Shue Yan, she donated her works to the university library, hoping to inspire others by example. She believes that a change in mindset—and a simple smile—can lead to happiness and better days.
