Indeed, the years in college and right after are the most productive and fun years in one’s life. I hope today’s young generations can be aspired by this story when planning out their career path. I am sharing it with my kids.

Also, I love the ways you write. You provide a reference for everything you say so that readers know where they come from.

A very moving story. It’s hard to believe anyone would make such a sacrifice, even in that time. God bless him! Even given the background at his time, there must be other factors involved in first motivating him and then sustaining his work in that island.

Very interesting read!

Sai Chung is a very special and respectable individual because of his loving heart and sacrifice to the poor Tai O youngsters. He is also a very diligent and hardworking man. It really takes a lot to be such a role model educator and caregiver; and, a successful business builder!

Sai Chung was a good friend of mine at Berkeley, but we have lost contact all these years since he went back to HK. Glad to know that he was doing successfully in business. Can you update us on what and how he is doing now?

I’m anchored by the values and morale behind the story. Proud of this “young foreign student”!

Sai Chung is a typical example of someone who is willing to give expertise and time to the Chinese youth.

Those of us who were raised in Hong Kong from the fifties onward know the hardship of Tai O. The idea of providing education/training is the best gift one can give to a poor community. I salute Sai Chung.

I wondered what happen to Sai Chung now and how his success trasfer to countless others who followed his footsteps and those who benefit from his generous help.

Great story and my admiration for Sai Chung. I like to see a second edition of this story as to what happened to the students that he taught, and the business that he was able to start.

Thanks for sharing,
David
