On behalf of all recipients of the “Lee Quo Wei CUHK Golden Jubilee Scholarships”, Mr Tipoe Timothy Liongexpressed his sincerest gratitude to Mr Liang and all members of the Lee family and the Wei Lun Foundation for setting up this meaningful scholarship scheme. “Being a scholar is not merely a fanciful accolade; it is a responsibility that compels us to strive for further achievements and to propagate our legacy of academically outstanding individuals in CUHK and beyond. The Lee family and the Wei Lun Foundation have graciously done their part; it is now up to us to be the best that we can possibly be,” said Timothy.
