President's Address

Professor Tony F CHAN

Distinguished guests, graduates, parents, friends and colleagues:

We celebrate the achievements of bright, enthusiastic young minds on this happy occasion of our graduation ceremony. But I would also like to speak for a few minutes about the vital role awaiting them as they step into the world at large.

At HKUST, we strive to provide an all-round education that fosters the very best in our graduates, not only academically but as contributing, compassionate global citizens, with high integrity, who will go on to have meaningful and beneficial lives that lead by example. This may be in Hong

Kong. It may be elsewhere. But more than ever,

the world needs the open minds and hearts of those leaving proudly from the Atrium after today's ceremony.

We are faced with unsettling times in many, many ways. From political controversies to economic volatility to social divisions at home and abroad, we are challenged by complex issues that jeopardize the values we hold dear, both personally and as citizens.

But graduates, always remember you have a strong foundation for meeting these challenges, helped not only by your knowledge but also by the personal attributes in your possession as a result of your years at HKUST.

4 I PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS BY PROFESSOR TONY F CHAN

Firstly, you have acquired critical thinking. Through your studies and many discussions with your professors and fellow students, you know how to arrive at conclusions based on facts and evidence. Quick judgments, prejudice and small mindedness have no place in a globalized modern society; indeed any civilized society. Analytical skills learnt here in this unique, best-of-the-East-and-West University enable a HKUST graduate to be rational and to think through every issue.

Secondly, a HKUST graduate knows how to be respectful of other views even when you disagree with them. You may have made friends on campus with people from different backgrounds, and with different views, to your own; or you may have gone on exchanges or other activities outside Hong Kong; or you may have taken part in community service. You have seen that the world is not uniform, that there are many perspectives out there. And being respectful of others' views does not necessarily mean you agree with them, but it actually helps you understand the issue better.

Thirdly, you have also learned from your time here that to discuss an issue rationally is to gain new insight on how to reconcile differences and - equally awesome - spark shared ideas and goals. There is no need to shout someone down when you can calmly and objectively weigh up a situation and advance toward mutual solutions, which should be discussed and not forced.

(7)

Fourthly, working with others in teams and on group projects, and time spent with student organizations and societies, will have helped you to understand that there is no place for pressuring people to take a stand. Ideals and principles are great motivators, and people can be passionate about persuading others to see their views. However, if they choose not to stand on the same side, it is their decision to make.

Finally, everyone is responsible for his or her own actions. Blaming others, making excuses, or jumping in immediately to criticize the system are not qualities that foster a civil society. At HKUST, you have had opportunities to make your own decisions in many areas of your life, from how you studied to what activities you joined. I believe you will be able to use such experience to serve as responsible individuals and citizens, who can contribute usefully and wholeheartedly to the communities in which you live.

It is not an easy task you face. However, as

the distinguished lives of our six honorary graduates show, it is possible to excel through personal endeavor and open-mindedness; through cross-cultural awareness, through courage and perseverance; through adherence to justice and fair play; and through a drive to share the rewards of success and pass on experience to others.

So go forth, HKUST graduates, with the assurance that you are among the leaders and shapers of tomorrow, and that you are equipped to make a positive difference. Faculty members, alumni, supporters and parents, take pride in these young people - to whom we entrust our future.

-Today is a joyful day. Let all those here remember the shared exuberance and shining expectations of this moment and go build a better world!

Thank you!

Doctor of Social Sciences honoris causa

Dr CHOW Yei Ching

Citation

When visionary entrepreneur Dr Chow Yei Ching started his company in 1970, he sought a name to make it stand out while conveying the core principles on which the firm was founded. He decided an English word would not do. "How about French?" a multilingual friend suggested. "And how about

chevalier?"

Just right, he thought. The adventurous fighting spirit and honorable behavior encapsulated in

chevalier -

1

_:Jt

_{± J}

_{(homonym of}1 _~

± J )

in Chinese and "knight" in English - were the perfect match for the enterprise that the dynamic, engaging Dr Chow then built. His business grew from a seven-person enterprise based in Star House, Tsim Sha Tsui, into the Chevalier Group, an international conglomerate with over 3 70 subsidiaries and associated companies and about 9,800 employees worldwide. He is Chairman of the Group.

It has been a wonderfully daring and fast-paced

journey for the boy from Shanghai, who arrived in Hong Kong at the age of 17 in the early 1950s with his love of machines and high-flying dreams. Indeed, entering his chairman's office is like opening a door into his heart. Lined in disciplined ranks are rows of model planes, a reminder of his days as a swashbuckling member of the Republic of China Air Force Academy; and model motorbikes, a testament to his love of speed on the ground, in particular cool Harley Davidsons.

Yet it has also always been an odyssey tempered by self-discipline and adherence to the ancient

8 I HONORARY DEGREE CrTATIONS

Chinese philosophical view known as the "Doctrine of the Mean", where balance, harmony, and moderation have continuously guided his way.

Returning to Hong Kong with his air force training, a degree in mechanical engineering from Taiwan University, and his inner discipline, Dr Chow took up work for a Japanese firm, before seizing an opportunity to stride ahead with his own business. Always thinking how improvements could be made, as well as keen to embrace the new, his list of companies soon lengthened, steered throughout by the integrity he has made his watchword.

No bad debts. Punctual and respectful. Understanding of the fact that no one is perfect. Consideration and appreciation of others. Added together with his broad circle of friends and associates in countries ranging from Japan to the Middle East to North America, he kept alert to different ways of thinking and developing · trends, creating an unbeatable combination of courage, integrity and foresight down the decades.

Beyond the business world, he is a committed philanthropist, who translates good intentions into action through the Chow Yei Ching Foundation and Chevalier Culture and Education Foundation, and believes firmly in quiet quests that go on to

change lives. "If you want to let people know you

are doing good deeds, then you are not doing good deeds," he notes.

(11)

Learning about the proposed Lifeline Express Hospital Eye-Train, that sought to bring light back into the lives of cataract sufferers in the poorest parts of China, he became one of the founding supporters, setting off without fanfare to travel to those remote corners to see and meet for himself the people whom the train set out to help.

Education, which Dr Chow views as the cornerstone of personal growth and development, has been another beneficiary of his goal to foster meaningful lives. He has been a staunch supporter of universities in Hong Kong and Mainland China, and HKUST is very thankful to have had his support over many years. Two of our lecture theaters are named for his parents. More recently, the Library's Learning Commons was named the Chevalier Learning Commons. His wisdom has been shared as an honora11y member of HKUST's Court, and he is now happy to see his son, Mr Oscar Chow, following in his footsteps as a member of the University Council.

A dedicated father, Dr Chow regards family education as important as formal education, seeking most of all to leave his seven children with "a legacy of good deeds", along with a contributing mindset and a willingness to help others. Good qualities of character introduced when young will remain with children for the rest of their lives, he believes.

His own public service is long and distinguished, applying his wide-ranging insight to many different roles, including Vice Patron of The Community Chest of Hong Kong, Chairman of Hong Kong Bahrain Business Association, President of The Japan Society, Counselor of the China-United States Exchange Foundation, and Founding President of the International Ningbo

Merchants Association. Since 2001, he has been the Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Bahrain in Hong Kong. His work and achievements have also been recognized in a series of prestigious honors, including a Gold Bauhinia Star from Hong Kong, The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon from Japan, and awards from the UK, France and Belgium.

Accomplished businessman, compassionate leader, active benefactor, concerned parent, wise friend of the community, Dr Chow, you are a true

chevalier.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, Dr Chow Yei Ching, CBS, Chairman of the Chevalier Group, for the award of Doctor of Social

Sciences

Doctor of Science honoris causa

Professor Marvin L COHEN

Citation

Think on this. As a world, we want to explore the possibilities of green energy to give us and our children a sustainable future. To do so, we need to design materials that are stronger, or lighter, or better conductors, or combinations of all three. We require environmentally friendly materials that can convert more light into electricity or store more hydrogen. We want new materials to improve our medical technology. We need materials to take forward our communication systems.

The remarkable advances of theoretical physicist Prof Marvin L Cohen in condensed matter physics and the method he has pioneered will soon enable us to do so in a rational way rather than the serendipity of the past. While it had been posited as possible in the 1920s, no one had been able to fathom a practical way of realizing this. Until Prof Cohen arrived.

What the Montreal-born American's remarkable "pseudopotential" theory and insights into valence electrons have given us all is a way to predict the properties of a real material through the properties of an individual atom. This first-principle approach enables researchers to understand how atoms come together to form a material and, combined with powerful computer crunching, accurately predict how a never-been-seen-before material should behave.

Published in the 1960s, Prof Cohen's predictive work on semi-conductors and the subsequent

12 I HONORARY DEGREE CrT AllONS

computer programs generated together with his students have been particularly influential. The programs were made freely available and rapidly adopted by academics and industrial researchers, helping to transform the electronics world. For his 2001 National Medal of Science award, the top accolade for scientists in the US, the citation read: "For his creation and application of a quantum theory for explaining and predicting properties of real materials, which formed the basis for semiconductor physics and nanoscience."

A master's and PhD graduate of the University of Chicago, Prof Cohen returned to his undergraduate alma mater of the University of California at Berkeley in 1965, after a short stay at Bell Labs. He joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory a year later, and has stayed with the two eminent institutions for almost 50 years.

Among his many other honors and awards, he is a recipient of the American Physical Society Oliver E Buckley Prize for Solid State Physics; a· Foresight Institute Richard P Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology; and the Technology Pioneer Award from the World Economic Forum. He is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He has also contributed more than 800 technical publications.

To those who know him, Prof Cohen is someone you recognize within 10 minutes of conversation

(15)

as being super-smart. You also know he is not going to use his intelligence to intimidate, but to offer you the gift of a truly great teacher and mentor, the chance to pinpoint your own strengths and develop your own potential under his guidance and through his wisdom. Prof Cohen has taught an array of students who have gone on to greatness, including John Joannopoulos, whose own student Robert Laughlin received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998.

The HKUST community has also been fortunate to be able to benefit from this wonderful talent. In 2005, then President Paul Chu, a global superconductivity giant along with Prof Cohen, was setting up the HKUST Institute for Advanced Study as an intellectual hub to draw the best global minds to Asia. Prof Cohen, at the time president of the American Physical Society representing more than 47,000 physicists in addition to all his other accomplishments, was just the kind of active, engaged, brilliant character the Institute sought to attract.

Prof Cohen became a member of the Institute's illustrious International Advisory Committee in 2006 and a visiting professor in 2010, making regular visits to campus to share his expertise with graduate students and faculty members.

Now 78, and retired from classroom teaching, Prof Cohen remains a research professor of the Berkeley graduate school where he is continuing his ground-breaking work through the Cohen research group and his company Nanomix, Inc, founded together with fellow physics professor Alex Zettl and currently focused on nano-electronic biosensor technology. He is a keen promoter of physics among pre-college students and an ardent advocate for attracting more

women to choose careers in science, while his public service record appears almost as extensive as his citations. One of the best things about being a theoretician, he has said, is that thinking can be carried out with just a pen and paper and just about anywhere. "My favorite spots to do physics are Paris and Hawaii," he has been quoted as saying.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, Prof Marvin L Cohen, University Professor of Physics at the University of California at Berkeley and Senior Faculty Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, for the award of

Doctor of Science

理學榮譽博士

Marvin L

COHEN 教授

讀辭今日，全球都在探索綠色能源的發展潛力，為自己和下一代締造可持糟的未來。為此，我們需要設計更強韌、更輕巧、更優質的材料，甚至三者皆備。我們需要環保材料更有效地把光轉化為電力，或儲藏更多氫氣。我們要開發新材料來提升醫學科技，推動傳訊系統的發展。 Marvin Cohen 教授是理論物理學家，他在擬聚態物理學方面取得重大成果;他開創的方法建立理論根據，讓我們可以製造這些材料，而不再像以往單靠偶然。早於 1920 年代，已經有人提出這種構想，卻苦無實踐方法， Cohen 教授的研究讓這個構想變得可能。 Marvin Cohen 教授是美國人，出生於加拿大蒙特利爾，他開創「廣勢」理論及更深入理解「價電子 J '透過研究原子的性質，預測真實材料的特質。運用這種「第一原理」的方法，研究人員能夠明白原子如何結合成為物質，再配合精密的電腦運算，在製造嶄新材料時，可以準確估測其表現。 1960 年代， Cohen教授發表半導體預測性研究結果，以及與學生共同研發的電腦程式，影響深遠。這些程式可供免費使用，旋即獲得學者及業界研究人員應用，為電子世界帶來翻天覆地的改變。 2001 年， Cohen教授榮獲美國科學界最高榮譽美國國家科學獎章，讚辭表揚其貢獻: 1"他創造及應用量子理論，解釋及預測真實材料的特質，為半導體物理及納米科學奠下基礎。」 14 I 榮譽博士的輔 Cohen教授在芝加哥大學取得碩士及博士學位。他在貝爾實驗室短暫工作後，於 1965 年重返大學母校加州大學柏克萊分枝，一年後加入勞倫斯柏克萊國家實驗室，並在這兩家著名機構工作近五十年。 Cohen 教授屢獲殊榮，包括美國物理學會的奧利弗﹒巴克利固體物理學獎、前瞻協會的理查﹒ 費曼納米技術獎及世界經濟論壇的科技先鋒獎。 Cohen教授是美國物理學會及美國科學促進會院士，亦是美囡囡家科學院院士，出版科技論著逾八百篇。認識 Cohen教授的人都認同，與他交談不消十分鐘，便會發現他聰明絕頂，而且不會恃才傲物，反而以他的睿智，道出對方優點，循循善誘，協助他人發掘潛能，盡展所長。 Cohen教授桃李滿門，不少門生卓有成就，包括 John Joannopoulos' 而他的學生 Robert Laughlin 更是 1998 年諾貝爾物理學獎得主。香港科技大學有幸得蒙 Cohen 教授的支持。 2005 年，與 Cohen教授同為超導體研究專家、科大前任校長朱經武教授設立香港科技大學高等研究院，雲集全球精英 o Cohen 教授當時擔任美國物理學會會長，代表逾 47 ， 000 位物理學家，成就斐然。高等研究院正是期望匯聚像 Cohen教授同樣積極投入、專心致志、品格高尚的傑出學者。

Doctor of Engineering honoris causa

Professor Evelyn L HU

Citation

A boundary-breaking applied physicist and electrical engineering researcher and educator, Prof Evelyn L Hu has brought her singular worldview and interdisciplinary brilliance to the cutting-edge field of nanoscience and technology, an infinitesimally small realm but one with huge impact for our lives in the future. Equally significant, she has served over the past four decades as a wonderful role model for aspiring and established women scientists everywhere, showing how to make a difference at the peak of her chosen field as well as encourage others to join her.

Working within the nano world - where the head of a pin is about one million nanometers across - is particularly challenging with its wide-ranging requirements for minds equipped with understanding of basic, engineering and

information sciences. It is also incredibly exciting,

given its enormous potential for applications in areas ranging from biotechnology to computers to medicine to aerospace. Prof Hu has provided pioneering contributions to highly sophisticated nanofabrication technology, including nano-scale optical devices and lasers, and gleaned fresh insights from the organic and biological worlds to form novel electronic and photonic materials.

Illustrating the outstanding reach of her work, she has been elected to both the US National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences, with such dual membership a significant accolade. She is also a fellow of the IEEE, the American

16 I HONORARY DEGREE err AllONS

Physical Society and the American Association of the Advancement of Science.

Current interests with her research group at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are materials science for energy and environmental technologies and nanophotonics, which could eventually lead to energy-efficient optical sources and quantum computing, raising the prospect of far more powerful machines than are currently available.

Born in New York, Prof Hu has credited her liberal arts education as the foundation for her broad vision, with her curiosity in science fostered through weekend physics courses at school, a variety of pre-college summer programs ranging from mathematics and computer science to biology, and her Chinese immigrant parents' regard for the impact that science can have on the development of a country. "Their heroes were scientists," she has said previously.

As an undergraduate, she attended Barnard College, a prestigious women's liberal arts institution, graduating in physics but keeping open many different avenues of thought. Her master's and PhD, both in physics, were undertaken at Columbia University, where another amazing woman scientist, Prof Chien Shiung Wu, became her doctoral supervisor. China-born Prof Wu, known as the "First Lady of Physics", was the first female President of the American Physical Society and a particular icon for the Hu family.

(19)

Perspicacious, dedicated, and ever ready to persevere in problem solving, Prof Hu worked at Bell Labs from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, developing microfabrication and nanofabrication techniques to assist the study of superconducting and semiconducting devices and circuits. This was followed by 25 years at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she explored compound semiconductors and shared her insight into the tremendous possibilities of electrical engineering and the nano field as a respected, inspiring and beloved teacher. Responding to a question about women working in the hard sciences, she has said: "You have to ask yourself: why would you think it's not the right thing for you?"

Always looking to the wider view, Prof Hu has actively encouraged and demonstrated the importance of building links between academia and industry to enable discoveries to be applied. She has directed two major research centers: QUEST, a National Science Foundation (NSF) Science and Technology Center for Quantized Electronic Structures; and Nanotech, part of the original National Nanofabrication Users Network. In addition, she has co-founded companies, including Cambrios Technologies Corporation with her former post-doctoral fellow Angela Belcher, now a professor at MIT. The company has developed transparent conducting materials using silver nanowires, with applications for liquid crystal displays, OLED devices and thin film photovoltaics, among others.

Since moving to Harvard in 2009, Prof Hu has been instrumental in initiating a new working partnership with HKUST to boost undergraduate engineering connections. After visiting HKUST in 2012 and being impressed by the University

and Hong Kong, she wrote a proposal for a grant from Harvard. The aim is to provide opportunities for HKUST students and those from Harvard to work on innovative engineering projects together, including visits to each other's campus. Earlier this year, she also became a HKUST Institute for Advanced Study visiting professor.

The small details of life are not only important in Prof Hu's work. Despite her packed schedule, she will handwrite notes of thanks for the help of others. She will refuse to take additional positions simply for the name, only accepting if she believes she can fulfill the commitment required of the role. And she generously gives time to students, remaining a friend, mentor and model long after they build careers of their own.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, Prof Evelyn L Hu, Tarr-Coyne Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering at Harvard University, for the award of Doctor of

Engineering

Mr Jack Yun MA

Citation

Many people might think that Jack Yun Ma needs little introduction. Lead Founder, Chairman and previously Chief Executive Officer of the Alibaba Group, he has shaken and stirred e-commerce for small and medium-sized enterprises in China, and the international business world, since the founding of Alibaba.com in 1999.

Some numbers help to illustrate his success. The Group's online business-to-business marketplaces currently serve more than 100 million registered users in China and some 240 other countries and territories. Connected platforms include business-to-consumer Tmall.com and consumer-to-consumer Taobao Marketplace, where some five million active sellers and merchants are connected with hundreds of millions of consumers, in total generating more than RMB1 trillion in transactions in 2012, more goods than the combined might of Amazon and eBay. The first Mainland China entrepreneur featured

on the global Forbes Magazine cover and a news

headliner for more than a decade, mentioning Jack Ma's name alone is enough for a lively conversation to follow.

But what of the man behind the headlines? Here we must return to Hangzhou, where Jack Ma was born in 1964. Hailing from an ordinary background, yet propelled forward by a powerful determination once decided on a course of action, he took the college entrance examination three times in the early 1980s until eventually able to major in English at Hangzhou Teachers Institute.

20 I HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS

Perseverance and a willingness to steer his destiny have been hallmarks of the Jack Ma success story. Driven by his idea that learning English would be helpful for his future, most days as a teenager he would rise at Sam to go to the city's famous West Lake and work as a voluntary guide to _foreign tourists. Those pivotal years changed him in other ways too, opening his eyes and bringing connections to a world outside China at a time when few in the country had such exposure.

As a result, he has said, he became more open-minded and attuned to Western concepts. This meant when he was introduced to the internet during a visit to American friends in Seattle in the mid-1990s, he immediately grasped its significance for the business world east and west, particularly small businesses. On returning home, the teacher turned entrepreneur set out to drive e-commerce in China. Eventually, the launch of Alibaba.com in 1999, and its multicultural "open sesame" association with fortune, unlocked the door to domestic and international trade for China's millions of SMEs. Just two years after the founding of Alibaba.com, Jack Ma was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Always ready to venture further, he and his team started Taobao Marketplace, online payment gateway Alipay, and Tmall.com, creating in the process three hugely influential engines for internet retailing and internal consumption in China. The company went on to establish other related businesses and receive further international

(23)

and Chinese accolades in subsequent years. Jack

Ma was among Barron's 30 World's Best CEOs in

2008, placed among the TIME 100: World's Most

Influential People in 2009 and recognized as one of the 15 Business People Who've Changed China by Fortune Chinese edition in 2012.

But how did he so effectively succeed? Not through technical expertise as he readily acknowledges. As he has sometimes said he only really knows how to send email on the internet. What he does possess in abundance is the global vision to build platforms perfectly attuned to Chinese marketplace needs, melded with international business concepts of customer-centric provision and a values-based corporate culture.

When combined with the capability to think and act decisively, confidence to take risks and pioneer change, and a legendary ability to inspire loyalty - many founding partners of the Alibaba Group were his former students and remain senior executives in the group today - the impact has been unprecedented. As noted by Jack Ma: "Successful entrepreneurs create value for people and take care of their employees. They focus on helping others and if they are successful good things come their way." As noted by a Harvard

China business specialist in The Economist, the

result has been a transformative firm for the Chinese national economy.

Such talents and outlook are also employed in giving back. A strong conservationist, Jack Ma currently serves as the chair of The Nature Conservancy's China board of directors and adheres to a no shark's fin personal policy, as well as banning the sale of shark fins and endangered species on the company's platforms. He was named one of Asia's Heroes of Philanthropy by

Forbes Asia in 2010 for his contributions to poverty

and disaster relief in China. In addition, always a teacher at heart, first with his students, now with a much wider audience, he is an active sharer of his experience globally, including speaking at a HKUST Round Table organized by the University's Tanoto Center for Asian Family Business and Entrepreneurship Studies in 2011.

Now, another fascinating story is in the making, following the formation of Cainiao Network Technology Co Ltd led by Alibaba Group to develop a smart logistics network for China. The outcome could be equally dramatic in terms of change. For Jack Ma, though, the goal is to stay with his overall dream. Not the transience of money or fame or a business empire, but the more powerful motivation to improve the lives of others by using technology to level the playing field.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, Mr Jack Yun Ma, Chairman of the Alibaba Group, for the award of Doctor of Business

Administration honoris causa.

工商管理學榮譽博士

馬雲先生

讚辭在許多人心目中，馬雲根本無需多作介紹。他是阿里巴巴集團的主要創辦人、主席兼前任首席執行官，他在 1999 年成立阿里巴巴網站，自此為中國的中小企業電子商務發展以至國際商業社會帶來翻天覆地的變化。馬雲先生成就非凡，從一些數字可見一斑。阿里巴巴集團的兩個網上企業對企業交易平台目前服務逾億名註冊用戶，遍佈中國和其他 240 多個國家和地區。集團旗下的平台還包括企業對消費者交易平台「天貓」和消智者對消費者交易平台「淘寶網 J '至今已有約 500 萬個活躍賣家透過該兩個平台接觸到數以億計的消費者;「天貓」和「淘寶網」於 2012 年的交易額合計超過人民幣 1 萬億元，比 Amazon 和 eBay 合計的交易額還要高。馬雲是首位登上〈福布斯〉國際雜誌封面的中國企業家，十多年來他一直是頭條新聞人物，單是提起他的名字就足以引起人們熱烈的討論。私底下，馬雲先生是個怎樣的人?要了解馬雲，必須由杭州開始: 1964 年，馬雲出生於杭州一個普通家庭，但自小擁有過人的門志，每當立下目標都會奮發圖強，勇往直前。 1980 年代初，馬雲兩次高考失利，不過憑著堅定意志，他最終通過第三次高考，獲杭州師範學院取錄，主修英語。堅毅不拔，努力掌握自己的前途，是馬雲的成功要訣。他相信學好英語有助未來發展，所以年少時堅持清早五點起床，到杭州著名景點西湖兔 22 I 榮譽博士的輔費為外國遊客擔任導遊，藉此鍛鍊自己的英語能力。這些體驗開拓了他的國際視野，使他得以接觸中國以外的世界;在那個年代，鮮有人得到同樣的機會。正如馬雲先生所說，他的思想變得更開明，更容易接受西方觀念。 1990 年代中期，馬雲先生前往西雅圖探訪在美國的朋友，他在旅程中首次接觸立聯網，便立即意識到立聯網對東西方商業世界尤其是小企業的重要性。回國後，馬雲放下教鞭，立志推動中國電子商務發展。 1999 年，阿里巴巴網站正式成立，為中國數以百萬計的中小企閒敲了圍內與國際貿易大門，仿如中外皆知的「芝麻開門 J '象徵通往寶庫之道。馬雲先生創辦阿里巴巴網站僅兩年之後，就獲得世界經濟論壇評為全球青年領袖之一。馬雲先生積極進取，其復與他的團隊相繼成立「淘寶網」、網上支付平台「支付寶」以及「天貓 J '為中國主聯網零售業和內地消費格局帶來空前巨變。隨後幾年，公司繼縮發展其他相關業務，並獲得海內外多項殊榮。 2008 年，馬雲先生獲〈巴隆氏〉雜誌選為 30 位「全球最佳 CEO

Doctor of Humanities honoris causa

Professor Bright Zong-Liang SHENG

Citation

For Prof Bright Zong-Liang Sheng, world-renowned composer, conductor and pianist, the illuminating power of music is an astonishing and unceasing joy, a transformational ascent to a realm beyond, an experience that lifts away the present and opens up sparkling avenues of new thought through which the imagination can freely roam. Best of all, through music, these inspirational peaks can be shared in shimmering, ephemeral moments of truth and revelation between composer and performer, and with those who listen.

Indeed, infusing and enthusing others with fresh insight has been a lifetime mission for this pioneering artist and enlightened educator. Born in 1955 in Shanghai, raised in the tumultuous times of the Cultural Revolution, later a top composition student at the Shanghai Conservatory before a move to New York and more than 30 years in the US, Prof Sheng has sought to bring together east and west, tradition and innovation, history and contemporaneity within his constantly unfolding musical vision.

To Prof Sheng, composing is always a way forward to the next piece, the next performance. It is not a chapter or a full stop but the opening of a door through which to advance. With works spanning stage, orchestral, chamber and vocal works, his prestigious accomplishments show how successful he has been in striding through such portals to innovative new soundscapes.

24 I HONORARY DEGREE CrT AllONS

The list of his commissions and performances stretches for pages, reaching from North America to Europe to Asia, and involving the world's greatest orchestras and ensembles. Some of the foremost musicians of our time- Yo-Yo Ma, Leonard Slatkin, Kurt Masur, and his late, great mentor and friend Leonard Bernstein - have asked him to compose or played his works.

In the late 1990s, he performed a work he had been specially commissioned by the White House to create for a state dinner to honor the visit of Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji. In 2008, he composed for the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. His talents have also brought him elite recognition as the recipient of a highly prized MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant as well as numerous other prizes and awards.

His teaching is based on the premise that learning never stops, either for students or those who guide them. Over the past 20 years, he has guided a whole generation, including teaching at the University of Michigan as the Leonard Bernstein Distinguished University Professor of Composition.

For Prof Sheng, learning is an exchange, not a one-way street, and this continual search to know more is all part of the journey of an artist. Meanwhile, the willingness to take risks is a constant companion along the way.

(27)

At HKUST, we have been the beneficiary of such courage in Prof Sheng's guidance on music-based courses offered by our School of Humanities and Social Science. He has done so as the Y K Pao Distinguished Visiting Professor of Cultural Studies, a HKUST Named Professorship supported by Dr Helmut and Mrs Anna Sohmen and named after the late leading Hong Kong industrialist and arts benefactor Sir Yue-Kong Pao.

Prof Sheng has also made an outstanding contribution in this regard through his realization of the internationally acclaimed Intimacy of Creativity, held annually on our campus for the past three years. As Founder and Artistic Director of the remarkable two-week partnership that promotes dialogue between young composers and eminent performers, he has helped to rewrite the score on the idea that a science and technology university is no place for an artistic mindset. It has been hailed by the

Financial Times

as "the city's most innovative musical experience".

The word "intimacy" has not been lightly chosen. What is imparted during these workshops is the wonderful togetherness that the creative process inspires. That is why there are open rehearsals for students and the public to attend. For artists illustrate why creativity and imagination should always be with you. And that is why, according to Prof Sheng, it is even more important to hold this event at HKUST rather than a conservatory, where students are already committed to the arts.

For Prof Sheng, the leaps and bounds of the imagination that great art makes possible are important to every profession and to each and

every one of us. In his life's work, he has given us all a great gift in opening so many doors through which to reach beyond the here and now and into that amazing realm of creativity.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, Prof Bright Zong-Liang Sheng, Leonard Bernstein Distinguished University Professor of Composition at the University of Michigan, for the

award of Doctor of Humanities

honoris causa.

The Han WONG Yan Lung

Citation

When you have moved from pushing an ice-cream trolley from Causeway Bay to the Central Peak Tram station to help your father with his work as a street vendor to being the second person to hold the crucial HKSAR government position of Secretary for Justice, it would appear you have done well in life.

But Wong Yan Lung, outstanding former government minister, successful barrister, empathetic community volunteer, loyal eldest son, and dedicated father, has done much more. He has stayed out in front in who he is as well as his outward achievements. HKUST is not the only institution to recognize his many accomplishments recently and, characteristically, he has said that in accepting these honors, he does so not for himself but for the Department of Justice and colleagues in recognition of their work.

Thinking of others has been a theme throughout Mr Wong's impactfullife.

A member of the 1960s generation, Mr Wong grew up in a postwar sub-divided tenement in Wanchai, and later in public housing at Wah Fu Estate, near Aberdeen. Busy assisting his father from Primary Two onward, he quickly learned to use his restricted time to study effectively, securing a secondary school place at prestigious Queen's College. There, he soon became first in his form and a stalwart of the school's winning debate team. Later, as head prefect, he would

28 I HONORARY DEGREE CIT AllONS

discuss school regulations with teachers, sparking an initial interest in rules and behavior. Bright, a skilled communicator, and intrigued by the administration of governance, undergraduate study and a career in law beckoned.

In the early 1980s, he took his first plane ride, heading to the UK and Magdalene College at the University of Cambridge after winning a Prince Philip Scholarship, an award scheme for talented local young people set up by Friends of Cambridge University in Hong Kong. The initially daunting encounter with a new culture and study environment was made more testing for Mr Wong when he was knocked down on his bicycle near the beginning of his stay, putting all 10 fingers out of action for five weeks. This baptism by fire was met by typical enterprise and endeavor by recording his supervisions and lectures, working extra hard over the Christmas term break, and eventually being in the happy position to lend out his very tidy and substantial collection of notes to less organized classmates.

Called to the Bar in England & Wales and in Hong

Kong in 1987, Mr Wong rapidly built a successful practice as a barrister following his return to the city, specializing in constitutional, administrative, property and civil law. He was appointed a Senior Counsel in 2002. Over the years, he has also brought his diligence, focus, training and integrity to many public service offices for the legal profession and the community.

(31)

His appreciation of the opportunities he received from the community while growing up and Hong Kong's unique post-handover position made serving as Secretary for Justice from 2005 to 2012 a willing responsibility.

The rule of law is far more than a system of governance or regulation of people's behavior, according to Mr Wong, but an attitude, a cherished norm in a community, one that is embraced not because you are being watched, but because you believe and accept the system as a core value, and will abide by it even when not being watched.

Assisting the constitutional development of the Basic Law and one country, two systems, and advancing Hong Kong as a sophisticated, truly cosmopolitan international city, was a challenging but immensely satisfying undertaking, he has said. The invaluable part he has played in this regard was recognized in 2012 by a Grand Bauhinia Medal, Hong Kong's highest honor. His citation noted his "significant contribution in upholding the rule of law and in safeguarding the public interest".

As a father of three young daughters as well as a core member of Hong Kong's "can-do" society, he also sees belief and action in a good cause as important for positive development.

With a deep understanding of poverty from his childhood days, a strong Christian faith, and a drive to do more than simply accumulate money, in the 1990s Mr Wong became involved with the homeless as a frontline volunteer. Over many years, his Thursday evenings from 7pm to midnight would be spent buying rice boxes, referring welfare organizations, or simply

befriending those in need. He has served on the Steering Committee of the Hong Kong Christian Concern for the Homeless Association and as Vice-Chairman of the CEDAR Fund, a relief and development organization.

"From my experiences in the past, I believe if you start by helping out others, you end up a more fulfilled and happier person," he has said. We can all learn from such an attitude.

Mr Council Chairman, on behalf of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have the high honor of presenting to you, the Hon Wong Yan Lung, GBM, SC, and former Secretary for Justice for the HKSAR Government, for the award of Doctor of Laws

honoris causa.
