BEIJING CHAPTER & SHANGHAI CHAPTER

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, BEIJING the Fung Scholars Beijing and Shanghai chapter organized a New Year Gathering on 26 and 27 Feb SHANGHAI 2022 respectively. The events were attended by Fung Scholars from mainland China and Hong Kong across different batches.

BEIJING CHAPTER:

Eve Zhang (FS2018/19, Xiamen

University): We spent an unforgettable and enjoyable evening. We talked about our exchange experiences and career planning while tasting Beijing cuisine. It was such a valuable opportunity for the Hong Kong and Beijing Fung Scholars to gather and exchange ideas.

Teresa Song (FS2018/19, Tsinghua

University): I attended a dinner party with Fung Scholars in Beijing over the weekend and met many new friends. We shared our past life and study experiences in Hong Kong and enjoyed a very delicious dinner. All in all, we had a great evening!

SHANGHAI CHAPTER:

Michael Chong (FS2021/22, Hong Kong Baptist University) : As a new Fung Scholar, interacting with a group of welcoming seniors who willingly shared their stories in their study and career paths was pure gold for me. They were encouraging all the way as I told them my ambitions and goals and gave me constructive advice based on their past experience. Getting to know their views on the Mainland and Hong Kong also showed me a different perspective of various issues, helping me better understand what I want to achieve in the future. One thing is for sure: I found my second home at Fung Scholars.
