Column “Heterogeneity in a Single Theme”
The theme of this issue is “Reconciliation” and is written by two alumni Mr. Chan Pak-ka (07/Chinese Language and Literature) and Mr. Kung Man-chun (17/ Journalism and Communication). In the final stop of the “Journey of the Heart” in Italy, Pak-ka took us to the “Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels”, guiding us to return to our inner selves and learn to reconcile with ourselves. Man-chun, on the other hand, highlighted the preciousness of reconciliation in today’s society through the development of student protests in Bangladesh.

Column “Journey Around the Globe”
In this issue, we have invited Ms. Lam Chiu-yee Stella (06/Anthropology) to share with us her experiences of studying and working in London. Stella encouraged us to maintain a sense of curiosity about life, to enjoy the excitement and challenges brought by new things, no matter where we were.
