Wai Pong shares, "I am very happy to learn that I was selected as one of the awardees of the HSBC Hong Kong Scholarship. This time I stand before you as a 2020 graduate. I believe many of us are about to launch into life and we are going through a difficult time in 2020 as fresh graduates but we must remain resolute and keep going. “Tough times don’t last forever, but tough people do.” 2020 is the time in our life when we get the shock of the freezing cold shower; the time of struggle when we fear the next step in life in such bone-chilling cold. However, this is the time that defines us. My friends, don't give up! Every crisis contains the seeds of opportunity for our progress; difficulties come to make us strong, as long as we decide to go onwards.”
