"I was very fortunate to have received enormous support from HKU for the competition of the HSBC Overseas Scholarships. That eventually opened the door for me to study chemistry at Oxford University for one year. During that year I have devoted most of the time on adapting the Oxford way of learning and it was revolutionary. It was initially a stressful process as I was not familiar with their intense curriculum. I was under immense pressure every day and I was on the verge of giving up. Yet studying at Oxford was a precious opportunity and I did not want to admit defeat. Therefore I was determined to confront such pressure and have used what I have learnt from HKU to help me push my limits (and indeed what HKU has taught me was very handy). In the end I was competent enough to sit their examinations as a visiting student and the results allowed me to bargain a place for my doctoral studies there. All of these would not happen without the support and education from HKU."
