Fencing has completely changed my life, and I am proud to

compete in games representing Hong Kong. I am grateful for
the opportunity to study at HKU as it is one of the best icons in
Hong Kong with its long history. Attending classes and meeting
like-minded friends on campus are all new experiences for me.
On top of that, the professors are very supportive, making it
