Professor
Paul Morris, President (right) sent our best regards to Prof Chan.
With
this verse freely adapted from "Lament", a contemporary poem written
by the modern Chinese poet Yu Ping-bai, Professor Chan Wing-ming concluded his
two hour pre-retirement seminar on 3 June 2004 with mixed feelings of melancholy
and hope. Charismatic as ever, Professor Chan peppered his farewell speech with
analogies, puns and jokes which made the lecture theatre, packed with students
from his teaching days at CUHK, HKBU and of course HKIEd, roar with laughter.
