Three outstanding alumni Dr. Fredric Mao Chun-fai, BBS, Dr. Alfred Cheung Kin-ting and Miss Becky Lee marched in glamorously with rounds of applause from the audience after a stunning opening video was shown at the Alumni Sharing Forum – Make Arts and Culture a Glamorous Career held in the evening of 7 October 2014. Being the first one in the academic year 2014/15, the Alumni Sharing Forum was a great success which attracted over 220 students, alumni, staff and University senior management including Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU Mr. Cheng Yan-kee, President and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Albert S.C. Chan and Chairman of the Alumni Committee of HKBU Foundation alumnus William Leung, BBS, JP, to name but a few.
All being alumni of the Faculty of Arts, these celebrity alumni captured the attention of the audience with their practical experience on stage, in arts and culture and in life. Theatre maestro Dr. Fredric Mao, BBS, shared his passion for theatrical production since his youth and how he realised his dream career by working hard and making sacrifice. Well-known film director Dr. Alfred Cheung shared his belief in legacy to the next generation which motivates him to make films and write books and columns. Multi-talented artist Miss Becky Lee shared her challenges and opportunities she encountered in her entertainment career.
The Forum was also honoured to have Executive Associate Dean of Graduate School Prof. Eva Man Kit-wah as moderator for the panel discussion whereby participants asked questions proactively. All three speakers think that there is no windfall success. It takes time, hard work, trial and error as well as life-long learning to climb up a career ladder. When one has a dream and a firm belief, only the sky is the limit.
