Chairman Yang, University Council Members, President Tong and Honoured Guests,

First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University for conferring the honorary title of University Fellowship upon me.

As we all know, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University has a strong student Drama Club for decades, many graduates and current students have continuously contributed their drama art work to Hong Kong society.

It has been such an honour when I was appointed the Artist-in-Residence for the last academic year. At this milestone of my journey, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Professor Michael Tse, Mrs Ivy Leung, staff and students who had supported my work for the past year.

After providing series of performing arts workshops to the students, we together have chosen to put on a Chinese Classic drama Teahouse by Lao She at the Jockey Club Auditorium. The show had involved many students to participate in acting and technical parts; many students had come to audition; the show had been a great success!

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for their unwavering support they have given me over the past years. Without their love and care, I would not be here receiving this honour today. Thank you.
