Dr Peter Chu, trustee of the College, founded Alpha Appliances Limited in 1974. As this year marks the milestone of the company’s 50th anniversary, and also the 20th anniversary of Dr Chu’s appointment as trustee of the College since August 2004, we invited Dr Chu to share with us his secret of success. 

Professor Tsang Hon-ki was born in Hong Kong but grew up in the United Kingdom and received his bachelor’s and doctorate degrees in engineering from the University of Cambridge. He returned to Hong Kong to join CUHK in 1993 and has been a member of Shaw College since then. During the early days of his affiliation with Shaw, Professor Tsang focused on academic research and teaching, and only occasionally participated in college’s sports activities such as swimming and table tennis.
