The student record filled out by Dr. Tse Yuen-man Joanna for the CUHK medicine programme in 1986 is now being exhibited in the University Gallery. A medical graduate and 'SARS fighter', Joanna passed away in 2003 after having contracted SARS while trying to save her patients. The document recorded, in her handwriting, that her resolution was to be a doctor. 'I will be well-equipped to be a doctor and serve the people and society upon graduation.' When she passed away, the whole city was touched by her courage and selflessness.
