Bulletin No. 2, 2020
18 Chinese University Bulletin No. 2, 2010 After his talk, journalists swarmed around him. But he did not forget to request being shown the booths set up by CUHK in the exhibition area. Standing before a 3D videogame machine, he put on a 3D visor and trained a laser gun on the screen, steadily and calmly, as if he was holding a scalpel. Before the primary school students next to him could make out who this champion shooter was, he had hit the road again. Stepping into the Chinese restaurant of Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin at 1:25 pm, Sung immediately took over the friendly conversation with the guests present, playing the role of a savvy and sincere host. Fifty minutes soon passed amid much laughter and clicking of cameras. Time to return to the campus. Under the autumn sun, the lawn on the Shaw College campus was full of people, waiting for the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Sun Yat-sen. Besides the Faculty of Medicine, this must be the one place on campus with which Sung was most familiar—he was the Head of this young college until five months ago. Now he stood side by side its current Head Andrew C.F. Chan to officiate at the ceremony. With temperatures reading 25 or 26 degrees Celsius, sweat glistened on Sung’s forehead as he entertained the guests, but he never stopped smiling. At 3:10 pm, Sung stepped into the Vice-Chancellor’s office for the first time that day. After being briefed by his personal assistant, he flipped through newspapers, replied to e-mails, read letters, and attended to a few documents.
