I am grateful to have received the prize. I see this award not only as an encouragement and recognition of my research during the academic journey here but also as a tribute to the spirit of Dr. Esther MK Cheung and the many others who share a passion for studying and exploring Hong Kong culture. Looking back on the reasons I dedicated time to reading and writing here, I find it truly meaningful and a great honor to be acknowledged in this way. Thank you.

Part-TimeAcceptance Speech
This scholarship from late Professor Esther Cheung means much more than a recognition. It is a lifelong reminder to continue her literary legacy and spirit for excellence in the scholarly field and beyond. Being able to stand on the shoulders of academic titans, including professors Esther Yau, Winnie Yee and Derek Lam, I am grateful for all the learning experience and exchanges at the MALCS programme – which is both intellectually rigorous and stimulating. Thank you again, HKU.

Full-TimeAcceptance Speech
I was a Postgraduate student for Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies in 2019-2020, with emphasis in feminism and female representations. During the one-year journey at MALCS, I have not only accomplished academic capstone, but also explored and shaped my own identity through cultural exchange. Currently I work in a multinational corporation and focus on the Human Resources sector.
By awarding me the Esther MK Cheung Memorial Prize for Postgraduate Students, you have encouraged me to further pursue the journey of self-exploration, and allow me to have more chances experiencing various cultures and profound thoughts. Thank you again for your generous and thoughtful gift.
