Bulletin No. 1, 2024

Starting from 2020, 60 members of the CUHK community from different generations were interviewed by CUHK 60 th Anniversary Oral History Project. In the space of about 18 months, alumni, teachers, janitors, school bus drivers, members of senior management and administrators recalled their good old days at the University. Their stories are parts of macro-history of the University, which was founded on a barren hill in 1963. The oral history project was led by former Dean of Arts Professor Leung Yuen-sang. The interviews were conducted by Professor Puk Wing-Kin, vice-chairman of the Department of History, and Shirley Chan, a member of the project. The contents have been uploaded to the website of the University Library. The most beautiful scenery at CUHK is people.
