To commemorate the first year after the passing of Professor Sir Charles Kao, former Vice-Chancellor of CUHK and Nobel Prize Laureate, the Charles K. Kao Foundation for Alzheimer's Disease will organise the "Remembering Charles" exhibition in September and October this year. The exhibition is going to highlight Professor Kao's lifetime achievements and outstanding contribution. His artwork produced during his treatment by art therapy from 2013 to 2018 will also be showcased.
