To the 208 students awarded with various scholarships, Professor Ng said, “To all these recipients, I extend my heartiest congratulations.”
Shan Jing, a student in the Teaching English as a Second Language Programme, gained both the First Class Award and the Prof. Xu Jialu Whole Person Education Award. “I do not think I am the most hardworking student, but I believe what makes me different or ahead of the others academically, is that I have a study style that fits me,” she said. She later shared her two favourite mottos: “Know yourself” and “Think a little bit more, and ask a little bit more”.
