| 【Alumni Bonding】 Alumna TSANG Yin Hung Breaks Record for Fastest Ascent of Everest | |
|
Mountaineer Ms. TSANG Yin Hung summited Everest on May 23 in a record time of 25 hours and 50 minutes, setting the record of the world’s fastest ascent by a woman. She was 12 hours faster than the old record holder. Our heartfelt congratulations! A 1999 graduate in Environmental Science, Ms. Tsang was a teacher at the CUHKFAA Chan Chun Ha Secondary School. After two failed summit attempts in 2014 and 2015, she became the first Hong Kong woman to scale the Himalayan peak in her third attempt in May 2017. Right after the summit, she was interviewed by CU Alumni where she talked about her climbing experience. In pursuit of her goal, Ms. Tsang suffered from injuries and even gave up her teaching career in 2017 to focus on her climbing training. Her success set a very good example of perseverance and dedication. Interview by CU Alumni (Chinese only): |
