BSocSc (Hons) in Asian Studies
2021 Graduate

Time flies. Looking back to when I first entered HSUHK, I can’t believe it has already been four years. My experiences in the Asian Studies program are unforgettable; it has truly shaped me into a better person. From the naivety of my first year to now, as a fourth-year graduate, I feel fully equipped to embrace new challenges.

Academically, the diverse curriculum of the Asian Studies program has provided me with a solid foundation. Each course, the discussions between classes, and preparing for presentations have allowed for intellectual exchanges that create an atmosphere akin to an academic haven. I also want to express my gratitude to every teacher in the program for their meticulous care and hard work in answering our questions and supporting our growth, making returning to the Asian Studies program feel as warm as coming home.

What is liberal education? Four years ago, I didn’t fully understand, but now, I believe I have gained much, established my path, and will continue to forge ahead on my academic journey. I wish all the teachers continued success and flourishing achievements. To my fellow students, may your futures be bright, and to all the junior students, may you excel in your studies—let not your youth go to waste!
