Prof. Hu Shiu-ying was a botanist of great international renown. In 1968, she joined CUHK as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biology of Chung Chi College and continued her research work in the diversity of Hong Kong vegetation. Over the years, Prof. Hu collected over 30,000 specimens. She was affectionately known to her colleagues as a walking encyclopedia on botany. She once said, ‘The motivation for my research is to go into nature and unify with it.’
