Post-event sharing from student participants of 2016-17​

 

“The Sun Hung Kai China Economic Development Study Tour is definitely a fruitful memory to me as a freshman in HKU.  It was not merely an opportunity to gain textbook knowledge in lectures, but also a valuable chance to meet new friends from the Sun Yat-sen University.  We enjoyed and got the most out of this tour!”
Miss CHAN Uen Ching Ellen, BBA(Acc&Fin) Year 1

 

“The lectures covered a wide range of contemporary topics relating to China development, including One Belt, One Road, its macroeconomic environment, so on and so forth. These lectures provided me with insight to the Chinese Government’s policies and the historical development of economy and politics in China.”
Mr. KWOK Chun Hin Kenny, BSc(QFin) Year 2

 

“I am really thankful for having the students from the SYSU as our peers throughout the tour, they gave me many inspirations and motivations.”
