Money to win “love” and a “respectable” name
A Tai Po Secondary school student gave $40,000 and 8 iPhones to other students at school last Thursday on 28th November, 2010. After lunch hour, this student, named “Hin” gave $40,000 to other students and 8 iPhones which are worth more $30,000. If the students called him “Brother Hin ( 軒 哥 ) ”, each of them might receive a $100 note. When this was known at school, a lot of students came to find him. Peter, one of the
2010-11 1st Term LH Exam/ p. 5 students, said Hin was now known by every student. He believed many students had already got money from him. Maybe, he wanted to show off to his girl friend. When the school authority knew it, it stopped Hin from doing this.
People are very worried about Hin’s story. They think parents spoil their children. They provide them with money and things. Their children do not have a right value(價值觀). Many educationalists (教育學者) believe that Hin and the students who came for money are to blame. Hin used money to earn respect. The students were greedy for money. Schools and parents have to provide guidance to their students and sons.

The performance of HK athletes is encouraging. On China’s soil we find our athletes have a strong will to win. If Hong Kong can host the 2023 Asian Games, it is not impossible for them to do even better. “If a country is good at Sports, it will be strong”. Hosting the Asian Games is good to our society in the long term. If we do not try to do this, Hong Kong will not be as good as other Asian cities. “There are more than 70 venues for the Guangzhou Asian Games. Can Hong Kong have enough space to build so many venues? Hosting the Asian Games does not raise the level of Hong Kong athletes. We can use 6 billion dollars to help the poor, the elderly and the needy.” “ There is no need to host the Asian Games to make Hong Kong as good as other cities.”
