| FROM CUHK: From cultural adventures to personal transformation against all odds |
  As Kinnie Yu (IBCE, Year 4) reflects on her university journey, she describes her year of studying in the US as a pivotal moment in her learning trajectory. Kinnie studied in a programme jointly organised by CUHK Business School and the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, spending a year in the US. As the programme started, Kinnie realised the remarkable difference in the American education system, which strongly emphasised student participation. “In the US, class participation is very important,” Kinnie says, “It is worth up to 30% of your grade, and half of that is based on your professor’s assessment and the other half is based on self-assessment.”    Kinnie recalls feeling hesitant initially, attributing to the prolonged absence of in-person classes during the pandemic. In the first two lectures, she graded herself for barely one point for participation. Encouraged by the diverse and engaging atmosphere, Kinnie soon overcame her reservations. She realised that the exchange of thoughts and ideas is a crucial part of the learning process, especially in subjects like international marketing, where there are no definite answers. “It is actually not that scary to raise your hand in class,” she asserts. “If you are too worried about what other people think about you, you are just going to miss out on great opportunities to learn.” Kinnie’s year in South Carolina was proven to be transformative, reshaping her attitude toward learning and self-expression.      Kason Tsui (PACC, Year 4) spent a semester studying at HEC Paris in France through the School’s exchange programme. Despite encountering a series of unexpected events, Kason remains grateful for the experience and the lasting friendships he forged with his fellow international students. To conclude his trip, Kason bought a tote bag with the word “Merci” (“thank you” in English) on his last day in Paris.   Unlike Kinnie, Kason has learned his lesson the hard way. Upon arrival, Kason was disturbed by bed bugs in his dorm. While the landlord replaced the bed frame and mattress, Kason was asked to pay for the bill. Feeling it was unfair, he pushed himself to stay firm and fight for what he deserved. “I used to be afraid to stand up for myself, but living in a foreign country taught me that I have to be assertive at times.” Reflecting on his journey, Kason emphasises that the most invaluable takeaway was the resilience he developed. As he approaches graduation and navigates the uncertainties ahead, Kason states, “I won’t easily give up. Even when facing the unknown, I have confidence.”      CUHK Business School’s commitment to global education extends beyond individual stories. The exchange programmes offered by the School provide students with the opportunity to study at 230 prestigious universities across the America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The goal is not only to expose students to diverse business dynamics but also to cultivate their global citizenship.

| FROM CUHK: Finding hidden gems in urban planning |

Intrinsic ties with Hong Kong Born and raised in the Greater Bay Area with proficiency in both Mandarin and Cantonese, Dlysia feels at home in Guangdong cities. She interned in hotel management after undergraduate studies in Guangzhou, until 2015 when, out of her passion for the hospitality industry, she made a decision that would change her life for good: to pursue a master in Real Estate and Hospitality Assets at CUHK Business School. Dlysia has become a real estate professional ever since. “The programme afforded me a lot of fieldwork experiences. It even invited executives from the likes of Hang Lung Properties and Sun Hung Kai Properties for in-depth exchanges. In the course of this enlightenment, I developed an interest in the real estate industry, which spurred me to make the fated decision,” says Dlysia. From a newbie to a knowledgeable local through and through, Dlysia attributes her successful acclimation to her career instincts. “As a real estate specialist, I need a sharp eye for the development of commercial districts in town. Whenever a new shopping mall or a new store pops up, I would check it out. I would stick my nose into the background of the new brand, its target audience, its brand position and matching visual merchandising style.” This inquisitive approach offers a vessel for her to learn about the city. “I can have a firm grip of the dynamics of the neighbourhood, which is why I remain curious about work and life in Hong Kong.”  Finger on city’s pulse Dlysia always shows enthusiasm at the mention of her real estate job. She makes it clear that retail leasing is essential in real estate, and that different markets ask for different positioning strategies. “For well-developed malls, we focus on merchant mix upgrade or zoning, while in new and developing districts, we involved in the planning from scratch.” Years of participation in retail leasing of varied scales and locations has instilled in Dlysia a thorough understanding of the ties between commercial space and daily life. “Social distancing measures during the pandemic had hit hard on brick-and-mortar stores. As consumers become more concerned about health, stores selling light meals or yoghourt mushroom. Similarly, the work-from-home practice gives rise to household products such as scented candles or home appliances,” says Dlysia. To her, it is market research rather than cold hard numbers that offers a more “grounded” way to understand customer behaviour and the business microcosm, allowing her to keep a finger on the pulse of a city. City hopping across the Greater Bay Area also allows Dlysia to observe the increasingly frequent mobility of population between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. With the resumption of travel between Hong Kong and mainland China, many Hong Kong people visit Shenzhen or even explore the business potential there — a sight which Dlysia looks at with elation. She points out that shopping centres across the borders have their own characters – there are giant complexes and laidback neighbourhood or waterfront malls in Shenzhen, whereas in Hong Kong, shopping malls like K11 MUSEA or Harbour City remain the preeminent indicators of trends. “Driven by curiosity, exchanges between people in the two cities will continue to deepen, which is a positive sign of the integration of the Greater Bay Area,” Dlysia comments.  Chart the uncharted with an open mind The massive influx of mainland immigrants reminds Dlysia of her relocation eight years. As a pioneer, Dlysia encourages these newcomers to venture into their new life and embrace the local lifestyle of Hong Kong. Learning Cantonese, developing hobbies, participating in local activities…these are some of the ways to make local friends, Dlysia says. “For years, I have explored many places in the city; I have ridden on the Star Ferry to go to dine with my friends on the other side of the harbour; I have seen Hong Kong Island on a tram and concluded the trip with a delectable brunch; I have soaked up the panorama by the sea in Kowloon West; I have even enjoyed getaways in the outlying islands. These little things have instilled in me a strong sense of belonging. You can truly admire the charisma and diversity of Hong Kong if you feel the city with your heart.”   First published in the CUHK Business School Alumni Website on 4 December 2023, this article was republished with permission from the School’s Alumni Affairs and Development Office.

| FROM CUHK: CUHK Business School hosts 60th Anniversary International Finance Forum |
|
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School successfully concluded its anniversary celebrations with the “CUHK Business School 60th Anniversary International Finance Forum and 17th China International Finance Forum” on Saturday, 23 March 2024. Over the past 60 years, CUHK Business School has been at the forefront of education, combining knowledge and wisdom from East and West. It has nurtured exceptional business leaders for Hong Kong, Mainland China and the global community, while producing cutting-edge research that advances the development of the business sector, making significant contributions to the finance industry. The forum, organised by CUHK Business School and the China International Finance Forum, centred on the theme “Towards the Future of Hong Kong as an International Financial Centre”. The event brought together government officials, renowned industry professionals and think tank experts from at home and abroad to discuss the prospects for Hong Kong’s financial development. More than a hundred academics, doctoral and master’s students, and business leaders took part. Mr Paul Chan Mo-po, GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR and an alumnus of CUHK Business School, mentioned in his keynote speech that, under the impact of geopolitical factors, the government will strive to bolster the confidence of European and American investors, open up new capital sources including those from the Middle East, and capitalise on the opportunities arising from green development and the digital economy. He commented, “As we look ahead to the future, we are confident in the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. With a vast hinterland in the Mainland, we can leverage steadfast support from the country, international institutional advantages under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle and cultural advantages. Dr Norman Chan Tak-lam, GBS, JP, Council Vice-Chairman of CUHK, added in his welcome speech: “The world order is swiftly evolving. Recent developments in capital flows from Europe and the US might not always be in our favour, suggesting the need for corresponding adjustments at the intersection of domestic and international circulations in the Mainland. Nonetheless, Hong Kong remains an efficient and secure connecting platform. Integration with the Greater Bay Area and mutually beneficial development will provide endless opportunities for the future.” During the forum, guests shared insights into Hong Kong’s development as a financial centre. Mr Andrew Sheng, former Chairman of The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, emphasised the need to reinforce Hong Kong’s status as an offshore RMB centre for Mainland and global growth.

As we embark on a new journey of transformation, vigorously contributing to the future development of CUHK and the global economy, your unwavering support is pivotal.

| FROM CUHK: Sisterhood of passing on the torch |
|
Earlier on, both CUHK and CUHK Business School have reported the story of Thai student Chananchida Choochua (aka Chanan), who was studying CUHK’s Integrated Business Administration (IBBA) Programme. Time flies. Chanan has been working in Hong Kong since graduation and also inspired her younger sister, Panitsiree Choochua (aka Marine), to follow in her footsteps. Chanan revealed in that 2019 interview that her interests in business originated from her experience accompanying her mother to a stock investment workshop. However, Marine has a different story. The year-one IBBA student says: “From a young age, I have been passionate about business. I did part-time jobs such as helping out at my aunt’s convenience store and assisting my uncle at his construction materials store with inventory-related matters. To hone my business skills, I also sold fashionable clothes and toys online during semester breaks.” From Grade 9, Marine started coming to CUHK to visit Chanan from time to time. She was fascinated by “the beautiful campus, the appealing business programme curriculum and the vibes of a professional but friendly environment”. Not needing to consider alternatives, Marine went straight for CUHK’s IBBA Programme. Just like her sister, Marine is a perfectionist. She studies hard and has been awarded first a CUHK Admission Scholarship, then a Business School Admission Scholarship, and later a Belt and Road Scholarship.  (left) Panitsiree Choochua (Marine) and (right) Chananchida Choochua (Chanan) Sister, closest friend and alumna On the benefits of having a sister as an alumna, Marine says: “My sister and I are very close. She is not only my sister, but also my best friend and consultant as well. She provides numerous suggestions and supports me a lot. “For example, Chanan explained that improving business skills is not all about studying in the classroom. Joining activities outside the classroom is also a good real-life sandbox. She encouraged me to gain practical experience like joining clubs, doing internships and socialising with others to widen my connections. Moreover, if I do not understand the lessons or something, I should not be afraid to ask because either the professors or friends may provide a better explanation.” Armed with these useful tips, Marine has adapted well to university life. “I am so lucky that my beloved sister stays in Hong Kong. I did not feel as homesick as Chanan did before.” Adds Chanan: “I am glad that Marine is here too. Though she stays in the hostel of S.H. Ho College most of the time and I live off campus, we talk to each other almost every day. I don’t feel lonely.” Chanan is also proud of Marine’s determination to study at CUHK. “She always takes my advice.”   Their unforgettable experiences Marine’s first year at CUHK went well, except that she suffered from stomach inflammation during the Business School orientation camp. “That was one of the most serious sicknesses I have ever had,” she says, “I am so lucky that my sister stayed beside me. My sister, my friend and my senior took me to the hospital and bought food for me. I was so thankful to them.” As for Chanan, she says, “Before I joined CUHK, I had some kind of expectation that I would excel in studying and graduate with the highest grade. But by the end of the first semester, I was so disappointed and frustrated for not getting the GPA I expected. I then learned that the real success does not depend on the grades, but on how you balance your life. It was really a great life experience.” Home away from home After graduating in 2022, Chanan worked as a business consultant at a health technology startup for almost a year. She then developed an interest in logistics. “Logistics is not only the backbone of industries but also boosts the economy,” she says. In July 2023, she joined Kerry Logistics as a management trainee. “I have the chance to rotate to different departments and have tried my hand at daily operations work such as packing shipment, warehouse and supply chain management.” Over the past few months, Chanan has learned a lot and decided to specialise in international freight forwarding: strategic logistics planning and execution for the international movement of goods. Chanan, who is proficient in Putonghua, has not encountered any problems in communicating with colleagues. “I have already adapted to the working style in Hong Kong. I am now trying to learn Cantonese.” Chanan enjoys her job and is considering pursuing a master’s degree in logistics in future. Of her future plans, Marine says, “I would like to work in Hong Kong as well to get work experience.” Chanan and Marine meet whenever they are free. “We usually have some meals and hang out together,” says Marine, “That’s why I feel like Hong Kong is my home away from home.” First published in the CUHK in Focus on 20 March 2024, this article was republished with permission from CUHK Communications and Public Relations Office.

Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Limited (HKEX) is today (Friday) pleased to announce that it has established a new postgraduate scholarship programme in partnership with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School. The annual scholarship programme has been launched to honour Laura M Cha, recognising her considerable contribution to the development of capital markets in Hong Kong, Mainland China and globally over her distinguished career, most recently as HKEX Chairman. Mrs Cha has played a major role in the growth of Hong Kong’s and Mainland China’s financial markets, including the introduction of H-Shares and the development of the Connect programmes, supporting ever greater connectivity and access to the region for investors and corporates alike. She has also been a long-term advocate of corporates taking an active role in their communities, including overseeing the establishment of the HKEX Foundation, which has donated more than HK$440 million to charitable projects since it was established in 2020. HKEX Chairman, Carlson Tong, said: “This scholarship is a tribute from HKEX to celebrate Laura’s remarkable leadership and unwavering commitment to the sustained growth of our capital markets. Her instrumental involvement in establishing Hong Kong as a dynamic and globally significant international financial centre, coupled with her pivotal contributions towards fostering the accessibility of China’s markets over the past three decades, exemplify her exceptional achievements. Laura has become a beacon of inspiration for an entire generation of finance professionals, particularly women, who aspire to forge successful careers in capital markets. I am confident that she will continue to make a lasting impact as a dedicated mentor and trusted advisor for many years to come.” Laura M Cha said: “I am honoured that HKEX has launched this new postgraduate scholarship programme in my name. Supporting and encouraging the best and brightest minds from the next generation is something that I am passionate about. As capital markets across Hong Kong, Mainland China and globally continue to evolve, embracing new ideas, technologies and ever greater interconnectivity, this new scholarship will add to the swell of expertise and knowledge in the region, in turn fueling growth and opportunity. It has been a privilege to chair HKEX over the last six years, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the future of the company and the region’s markets, as both an advisor and advocate. I look forward too, to meeting the scholarship awardees and hearing their ideas in the years to come.” Dean of CUHK Business School, Professor Zhou Lin, said: “We extend our sincere gratitude to HKEX for their continued support and generous donation in establishing the new Laura M Cha Capital Markets Scholarship. This initiative underscores our shared vision to nurture the next generation of global talent in finance, strengthening our international position as leading institution in business education and bolstering Hong Kong’s status as a premier international financial centre. With this scholarship, we hope to empower the best talent to make meaningful contributions to the industry and drive positive change in the capital markets in our region and beyond.” The Laura M Cha Capital Markets Scholarship will be awarded each year to an individual or individuals looking to advance their postgraduate studies in finance at CUHK Business School. HKEX will contribute HK$200,000 to the annual scholarship fund, for a period of six years. The scholarship programme, which is expected to launch later this year, will be administered by CUHK Business School, and it is envisaged that a secondment or project work with HKEX will be arranged as part of the programme. This new scholarship programme, which will be funded by the Group, complements the annual university scholarships and research funding grants that the HKEX Foundation already runs as part of its charitable work, supporting students and academics in Hong Kong.
