In Loving Memory of Dr Luk Chiu Kwan Hung (1928–2026)
It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude that we honour the life and legacy of Dr Luk Chiu Kwan Hung (陸趙鈞鴻博士), a beloved teacher in our Ying Wa community and a towering figure in Hong Kong’s educational history.
Dr Luk was appointed as the Head Teacher of the Ying Wa Kindergarten in the 1950s. At Ying Wa, she established a culture where joy, faith, and dignity were the cornerstones of learning. Long before play-based learning became a global standard, Dr Luk was already planting seeds of knowledge through song, laughter, and stories, believing that a child’s smile was the world’s most beautiful flower.

The workshop beautifully highlighted that reading is a unique, personal journey where we fill in the gaps using our own life experiences. Students thoroughly enjoyed the session, offering thought-provoking interpretations that allowed everyone to see the texts from entirely new perspectives.
