“It is my fortune to become a science undergraduate student at The University of Hong Kong. The four-year experiences have broadened my horizon, inspired my life, and prepared me for the academic career. I am glad to meet many excellent students and professors at HKU from whom I learned a lot. The Faculty of Science is supportive and provides various research opportunities. The research projects brought me to the frontier of science and developed my creative thinking. In addition to academic, I benefited much from the whole person education at HKU. The worldwide exchange programme enabled me to experience a different life style at the United States. The residential life at Shun Hing College allowed me to establish friendship with students from different culture backgrounds. I would like to thank all my friends and teachers that I have met during my years as an undergraduate.
