Opening up to Life Vol. 15 • Issue 2 September 2010 www.hku.hk/facmed/newsletter FEATURE Opening Up to Life SPOTLIGHTS RGC Research Funding Success Continues First Heart-and-Liver Transplant in Hong Kong Contents Volume 15 • Issue 2 • September 2010 6 From the Editor n a desperate anti-ageing attempt, I chose to fly east I to Vancouver on my birthday. I thus managed to stay 2 at the same age a little longer, even if this achievement 13 lasted a mere 18 hours. One cherishes youth, for its inexhaustible energy and bravery towards adventure. The cover story of this issue of the Medical Faculty News features young members of our Faculty – our undergraduate students. In these impressive stories, you will see how many of our students can still pursue their interests in sports and the arts with outstanding results, and engage in community or 19 humanitarian projects, despite the taxing curricula. Recent research and clinical achievements, namely successes in the Research Grants Council’s Earmarked DEAN’S MESSAGE 1 Research Grants and the first combined heart-and-liver transplant, are also highlighted in this issue. FEATURE Opening Up to Life 2 Indeed, so much is going on in the Faculty that there is hardly a moment for a siesta. I wonder whether the SPOTLIGHTS glacier photo can help beat the summer heat.

Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are From the Editor grown is given us by education.” (Jean Jacques Rousseau, Emile) Like Rousseau, the Medical Faculty takes the importance of education to its heart. Education, not merely on medical and scientific knowledge and expertise, but a holistic education for our students, is the very essence of our sacred mission to nurture competent, empathetic, and ethical healthcare professionals. At a philosophical level, the Faculty is dedicated to nurture minds that are both educated and inquisitive, minds that would strive to understand and analyze the phenomenal existence of life and the world, and make rational dialectics and sound judgements. This can only be achieved by a whole-person education which cultivates young minds to appreciate the beauty of diversity, and at the same time adopt a salubrious approach in determining an appropriate course of action in the pursuit of truth. The advent of modern science and the increasing sophistication of technology in the present era might not have made multi-talented masters such as Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci. However, a holistic analytical perspective, an all-roundedness in knowledge, an unfaltering passion, and incessant creativity remain essential qualities in the pursuit of excellence. The Medical Faculty has all along tried its very best to cultivate these qualities in our students, who are deemed to be future leaders in society. This can Apart from their studies in subjects related to science and healthcare, we encourage students only be achieved to participate in extra-curricular activities to fully develop their talents in arts, culture, and sports. We also encourage them to participate in local and overseas community and by a whole- humanitarian activities, and offer such opportunities as part of our curriculum. We hope to broaden our students’ horizon through this diversified learning experience, so that they will person education ultimately grow to become mature professionals ready to face the challenges in their future careers. which cultivates young minds to appreciate the beauty of Professor SP Lee Dean of Medicine diversity 1 Feature Opening Up to Life Students from the Medical Faculty shine in many other areas besides their academic studies. Here, sports stars, music and drama enthusiasts, and committed volunteers discuss how these ‘outside’ interests have added to their all-round development and enhanced the preparation towards their future careers. ne medical student with a comprehensive Sporting Chance passion for sport is Michelle Cheung O (MBBS IV), HKU’s Sportswoman of the Year (2009-10). Among Michelle’s accomplishments is a talent for badminton, with recent international achievements including first runner-up in the ladies singles at the European Junior Badminton Championships and a bronze medal at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival. Michelle also draws attention on the athletics track, holding the second fastest time for the 800 metres in Hong Kong. And during her residence at St John’s College, she was an active hockey, softball, basketball and squash player. How does the super-fit scholar manage so many pastimes so well? To Michelle, all such activities are a complement to her medical studies rather than a distraction. “I truly love both sport and medicine,” she said. “So I find they go hand-in-hand, helping me to relieve stress as well as transferring my energies and making me focus effectively.” KayC Teo (MBBS 2009) is another high performer. He won the CP Fong Gold Medal in Medicine in 2009, but at the same time as flying high in his medical studies KayC kept up his keen interest in a variety of sports. An experienced dragon boat paddler who has represented Hong Kong and participated in the Dragon Boat Club Crew World Championships, KayC founded the HKU Dragon Boat Team in 2008 and has been its coach since the team’s establishment. He is also a keen rower, soccer player and was an active member in Wei Lun Hall. KayC is a firm believer in striving for excellence in every area of life and the particular benefits that sports can bring. Dragon boating, for example, can boost not only physical and mental endurance but social skills as well through the teamwork required on board. “I believe that people can achieve anything if they put their mind to it,” KayC said. “Always reach for the stars. Even if you fail, at least you’ll reach the moon.” For Joyce Lai (MBBS III), the opportunity to take a gap year from the Faculty in her second year helped her achieve a childhood dream – to experience life as a professional skater. Joyce joined Disney on Ice and toured all over Europe by bus, by train and even by private plane! She sometimes even had to travel up to two cities and perform as many as 14 shows within one week. During rehearsals, she had to undertake 10-12 hours of intense skating practice. From this, she gained many life-changing experiences that she feels will be invaluable for her personal and professional development as a doctor-to-be. One of the most significant lessons Joyce learnt was the importance of professionalism. “In a performance, it doesn’t matter what happens backstage, the second you cross the curtain, you have to be professional and go on with a smile,” she explained. “Just like being a doctor. We have to deliver high quality care to all our patients despite our personal problems or when we are simply having a bad day.” 2 Medical Faculty News • Feature Creative Touch n the creative front, life at HKU has assisted Elaine Lee (MBBS II) and Patrick Hung (BChinMed III) to pursue their O interest in music, while year-one nursing students Fannie Chung and Jessica Wong have found a second calling in the theatre. All agreed that it was important for students to undertake additional activities that allowed them to gain broader perspectives and appreciate different ways of life. Elaine has been a member of the New Tune Chinese Orchestra since secondary school and recently received First Class awards as a member of both the Bamboo Flute team and Hulusi team at the First International Chinese National Musical Instrument Series Invitation Tournament 2009. She believes pursuing interest can definitely assist her studies and career outlook. After years of orchestral training, for example, Elaine has learnt how to take each task seriously. “I have been trained to stay focused and seek perfection,” she said, “because one minor mistake could spoil the whole concert.” In Patrick’s case, the former Chairperson of HKU Chinese Medicine Society, trumpet player and gospel music group member of HKU Christian Fellowship, sees student life as an opportunity to learn outside the classroom as well as in. “At this point in our lives, we should step out and gain exposure to different things while we are energetic enough to do so,” said Patrick, who also plays bass guitar and composes for his band, Synergy. Fannie and Jessica are members of HKU Drama Society, participating as an actress and director respectively. Fannie made her first appearance on stage at the Society’s annual production in 2009. Since then, she has developed a great interest in acting and took a leading role in the Society’s summer performance in July.

    Honorary Awards Ceremony 榮譽博士學位頒授典禮 2019/2020 Honorary Doctor of Social Science Dr Edward LEONG Che-hung Public Orator Professor Matthew LEE Kwok-on Mr Council Chairman: Dr Edward Leong Che-hung is well-known both in his profession of medicine and in the sector of public service. In his illustrious career of more than fifty years, his accomplishments are remarkable in pioneering new surgical procedures, educating generations of doctors, initiating discussions and promoting awareness of diverse medical and social issues, and in different ways, bettering the life of many individuals. Now in his eighties, Dr Leong remains as energetic and steadfast as ever in his efforts to make the world a better place. Dr Leong comes from a family with extensive involvement in various areas of medicine. His father, also a medical doctor, served the Aberdeen community with dedication for decades in the last century. In those days of austerity, Dr Leong saw his parents carrying medical provisions in their rattan baskets every day as they went around treating their patients and foregoing their own comfort in the service of their calling. Such unflagging loyalty to the well-being of those under their care inspired Dr Leong to take up a career in medicine. After he obtained his medical degree from the University of Hong Kong, Dr Leong taught in the Department of Surgery of his alma mater from 1963 to 1978, at the same time carrying on a robust research agenda. His work on gastrocystoplasty, a global first, was considered a breakthrough in both technology and scientific research. His advancement in the use of material from the stomach for use in cystoplasty in humans made him world famous and earned him the position of Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1975.
