Sharing by alumna Xie Shiyun during CSD lessons

The Citizenship & Social Development (CSD) Department was very excited to have invited alumna Xie Shiyun Joanne (Graduate of 2014) to share with classes 5C and 5A on November 17 and 18, 2022 respectively.  Joanne shared her experience of growing up in Foshan and working in Shanghai after graduating from YWGS and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.  Not only did she share the attractiveness and challenges living in Shanghai, but she also gave her personal views of why she opted for living independently there.  Pictures of the Shanghai lifestyles, especially its being a cashless city, the modern skyscape and the presence of stylish coffee shops, are overwhelming.  Students also showed their curiosity by asking questions such as the affordability of the housing market and the locals’ characters.  It was indeed a great sharing and we look forward to having her again.
