New Asia College The Chinese University of Hong Kong eNewsletter

The 30th Year Reunion of Class 1989 was held on 18 May 2019. Over 50 guests, including alumni and their family members and friends, revisited the College to join the reunion. They participated in a series of activities, including a CUHK campus tour, a tree-planting ceremony and hostel visits, in the afternoon.

A group of alumni gathered at Yun Chi Hsien at 3:00 p.m. to set off for a campus bus tour to explore the new colleges and various facilities in CUHK. They considered the students of today much more fortunate than those of 30 years ago. After the tour, the alumni took a group photo at the New Asia Amphitheatre, and then proceeded to the lawn next to the Statue of Confucius for a tree-planting ceremony to commemorate the 30th year of their graduation. A New Asia College campus tour led by College students then followed, and the alumni reminisced about their hostel life when they visited the hostels, which they happily found much better equipped than in the old days.

In the evening, over 50 guests including alumni and their families participated in the dinner banquet at Yun Chi Hsien. The programme commenced with the singing of the College Anthem, which the alumni still remembered well even after leaving the College for 30 years.

Chairman of the NACAA Mr. Yiu Chun-hong and other members of the executive committee also attended in support of the event. Photos of the years past were shown on screen during the dinner. Nostalgic and reminiscent, the alumni were keen to share anecdotes from their joyful college days.

The College would like to thank the class coordinators for supporting the event and contributing to its successful conclusion. The College hopes that the Class of 1989 will continue to support college activities and to stay involved in the development of their alma mater in the days to come.
