Nostalgic poet, Prof. Yu Kwang-chung spent 11 years in CUHK, which could be called the Hong Kong period of his literary career. He was mesmerized by the natural beauty of CUHK. Even the foggy days at campus became a beautiful poem under his pen.
He said a school could not be called a university if it fails to emphasize the importance of humanistic spirit. He believes the motto of CUHK, ‘through learning and temperance to virtue’ is the essence of humanity for the University.
