The Hong Kong History Project played a pivotal role in shaping my career. I am immensely grateful for the generous studentship that supported my studies from 2016 to 2020, which enabled me to pursue my research on Hong Kong history. The project’s network connected me with a diverse academic community that not only fostered collaborative opportunities and intellectual exchange, but also enriched my personal growth.
I firmly believe that the project significantly assisted me in securing my post-doctoral appointments and nurturing my development. In 2019, I became an Assistant Lecturer at the College of International Education at Hong Kong Baptist University, and in 2021 I was appointed as a Lecturer in the Department of History there. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor of Teaching at Lingnan University. I am indebted to the Centre for its unwavering support, which has been instrumental in shaping my academic journey and professional growth. I remain committed to advancing the understanding and appreciation of Hong Kong’s rich historical heritage and look forward to further collaboration and engagement within this vibrant academic community.
