'Li Ning has risen above the rough sailings of his life with his smile. At rough times, this smile, deeply imprinted in my heart, will prod me to look into the future with tenacity and stand back up, not letting failure pulverise me.'

'The Sichuan earthquake made many people feel sad. We
understand that life is so vulnerable and natural
disasters are very frightening. When we think of
rebuilding, we must also think of rebuilding
the broken hearts.'
~ The view after earthquake
WONG Hiu-tung Yan Chai Hosiptal Wong Wha San Secondary School


'……in the devastating Sichuan earthquake, China finally opened up
its door by allowing foreign media to report on the incident
and even welcomed foreign countries’ helping hand.
To me, China has boldly taken a step further
towards the goal of becoming a country
with higher transparency.'
~ An opening up of her heart to the world and her people
MA Sum-yi, Joyce Heep Yunn School

Senior Secondary Category

'Chinese tradition may seem to be an old topic for many
of us but it is in fact the concentrated wisdom saved for us
by our ancestors. We must learn to embrace them, learn them
and practise them in our everyday lives.'
~ History: It is more than just repeating itself
CHAN Wai-yee Heep Yunn School
