1 WELCOME MESSAGES Professor James WONG Associate Dean (UG) and GCS Program Director It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to our Global China Studies (GCS) family. In this day and age, our daily conversations always revolve around the pandemic. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented event which has impacted all walks of life, and the situation is still evolving from time to time. While we may feel excited about resuming face-to-face classes, we may also be concerned about what our future would look like. The uncertainties can be so overwhelming that we sometimes feel confused and frustrated. Perhaps this is the condition of the contemporary world. Solution? There is no quick fix. Let’s focus on things that we can control. Live in the present moment. Be thankful to what we have. Value all our experiences. In the GCS program, we aspire to prepare you to face challenges in an ever changing and increasingly complex world. We encourage you to not just think but also act. Internship. Exchange. Overseas learning experience. Ambassador scheme. Undergraduate research opportunities. By taking small steps everyday, you will gradually build a fruitful and meaningful university life. No one is certain about the future, neither am I. Que sera, sera. Whatever happens tomorrow, at least we have had today. All the best!
