After matriculation, I enrolled in the Chinese Department of CUHK, subsequently I had the honor to follow my teacher, Professor Ho Che Wah, and assist with his research work. After that, I have been working at the D.C. Lau Research Centre for Chinese Ancient Texts.
Putting one's knowledge to practice will be a dream job for most people; to be able to work for a teacher is an even rare opportunity. Professor Ho offers his full support to matters big and small at the Research Centre, which helps us to carry on with our work more efficiently, and I am full of gratitude for this.
The Research Centre comes under the Institute of Chinese Studies. The Chinese courtyard-style building inside the Institute combines tradition and modernity, primitive simplicity and minimalism. In the middle of the courtyard, carps swim playfully in different strokes and styles in the pond. This place is rated the best working environment on campus. Colleagues working in the Centre are cultured and refined; as they are involved with research work in Chinese culture, they look contented and unworldly. I believe this is the place which I yearned for - a calm and relaxed work environment.
