Ms Tang Yi (2012/Professional Accountancy) won the Best Short Film at the 74th Cannes Film Festival. Ms Tang was invited to share on her days when studying in the University and her life and memories at Shaw College. Looking back, her choice of accountancy as her major was probably following the trend at that time. She actually likes “story-telling” all along and during her spare time at the University, she turned to words, music and images to tell stories.
