Greater Expectations : CUHK's vision and action in the Greater Bay Area 31 The Forest of Trees Never Ends I n 15 years’ time, CUHK has wholeheartedly poured every ounce of effort into creating the forest of trees in the GBA which future generations can roam and enjoy. We see batches of graduates relocate from our campus to Longgang District, Shenzhen, incubate dozens and dozens of start-up companies and help entrepreneurs pursue their dreams, and provide bountiful resources to support cross-border research across a wide variety of scholastic fields. With an assortment of cooperation agreements and facility blueprints scheduled to be signed and endorsed, CUHK is ready for the next phase to promote research and education across the GBA. ‘It takes ten years to grow a tree, yet it takes a hundred years to nurture a person.’ As a university, it is CUHK’s mission to shape the future of education through knowledge, wisdom, culture and experience. Through our engagement and developments in the GBA, we firmly believe that everyone at CUHK can become a better self and, ultimately, embrace their future with fervour and confidence.
