Paticipated in Jockey Club Service Trip 2018 in Hong Jiang

March 28, 2018

I was devoted to the charity cause, which was organized by the Jockey Club Charitable Foundation with 12 scholars. We hosted workshops and culture activities.for example using images and scientific research to analyze the thinking process of the human brain. We empowered the students to open their hearts in the interaction and performance practice.

I also did my first 10 km run, in 57 mins. I heard "Remember the spirit of starting a run, and how to face challenges." Thus I found the meaning of culture sometimes is not abstract, it is live, and could wildly infused into one's feet to make you walk or run forward.
