He understands the University and its unique traditions; he cherishes its distinctive spirit and values. Those of us who know his passion for excellent teaching, his care for students, for whole person education, his dedication to the sciences and the humanities, know that the University is in good hands. For all its international distinction and openness to global exchange of every kind, this University, perhaps more than any other in Hong Kong, arose out of the local Chinese community and culture. It has special connections with, and responsibilities for, Chinese values, culture and language. Professor Sung is committed to preserving and nurturing this precious heritage. At the same time, he understands that Hong Kong’s destiny is to be an international city, modern and global in its outlook and outreach. The University too must be modern and global in its outlook and outreach. Professor Sung understands, as have his predecessors, that the University must hold these responsibilities to tradition and modernity, to the local and the global, in a creative balance. Here too we know we are in good hands. …… Professor Sung was recognized in 2003 as an excellent teacher, winning the Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award. In describing his philosophy of teaching he made a simple but profound statement: ‘We teach by our acts, not by our words.’ Perhaps nothing characterizes him better, as a physician battling with a deadly virus; as a researcher seeking ways to cure painful and previously incurable ulcers, or to screen for unsuspected cancers; or as a leader in academic life, standing before us, as he does today, as an exemplary member of our community. What we see is a man who balances professional practice, research, teaching and service to his University. —Authored by Prof. David Parker 「 沈祖堯教授之簡介（摘錄） Introduction of Prof. Joseph J.Y.
