Wong Yik Lam (Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Science)
Recipient of Mr and Mrs Lee Siu Lun First-Generation University Student Scholarship 2019-20

My motto is “Being able to relieve others from physical and mental discomfort is the greatest achievement one can attain”. Therefore, I feel deeply fortunate to study in Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Science in which I am given a chance to learn the practical skills and theories that help me fully equip myself and to serve the future patients better. It is my greatest pleasure that I can actualize my motto. Not only actualizing personal goals, passing down the essence of Chinese medicine is the responsibility that every Chinese medicine student has to shoulder. I do hope the Chinese medicine could be prosperous and be one of the mainstreams in the health care system in Hong Kong.

I hope to develop global vision and not to be narrow-minded. To do so, I have actively participated in different oversea service tours including Ukraine and Indonesia. I would like to participate in more oversea service trips in future to further enrich my experience. I plan to learn 2 more foreign languages. Being able to think in a foreign mindset, fully understand their cultural context and directly communicate with the foreigners in their languages greatly fascinate me. These would be costly but with the financial support from this scholarship, I can execute my plan in a stepwise manner without putting a heavy financial burden on my family.

I truly believe that there is a fixed amount of resource in the world and I am so fortunate to have the chance to be educated and develop my potential. Therefore, I am obliged to return what I have taken away from society, in the form of actual financial support to the underprivileged or my profession soon.
