60周年校慶花絮

今年是母校孔教學院大成何郭佩珍中學(原名孔教學院大成中學)60周年校慶

眨眼間,我們已畢業了52年, 今年學校舉辦了一個大型的60周年校慶宴會, 出席者除了有一份60周年校慶特刊, 亦可以選擇一份紀念禮物。

Clara是1971年同學校慶聯絡人, 我和Irene協助她。今次活動三個月前已開始邀請同學參加, 到最後有12人報名, 剛剛好一圍枱。截止日期後我收到一個電郵, 有一位女同學想參加校慶, 她是崔顯文, 我們畢業了52年從未見過面, 在印象中她是一位温文又有智慧的女同學。我還保存了她畢業時的黑白照片。很高興她會參加今次的校慶, 我們又重逢了。

Clara十分大方, 讓了她的座位給崔顯文以便她可以和1971年同學同坐一席。

在抽獎時, Aida被抽中, 她要向主場說了幾句有關畢業後的感想及體會,

之後六位女同學手指指要我補充多幾句, 好彩她們不是男仕, 否则千夫所指, 不…. 我說了畢業52年後當晚才第一次見面的崔顯文, 未說完已全場嘩然!

說完後Aida和我也有獎品。獎品是超級市場的禮券$50共六張, 我和Aida合共有12張;我們將這些禮卷分給在席的每位同學, 每人一張, 大家十分開心, 及拍照留念。

今次的校慶有點惋惜的是教過我們的老師一個也沒有出席這個校慶。

十年後我相信學校亦會繼續主辦70周年校慶, 我懷疑到時能有幾多位同學可以出席? 那時我們的年紀亦在80歲左右了。

Year of Tiger video conference

Written by Adrian Hung

Kung Hei Fat Choy (恭喜發財)! This is the greeting when we meet our friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year. Today is the seventh day of Chinese New Year. We call it “人日”, which means everyone’s birthday!

We usually meet our friends and relatives and have lunch or dinner together. We call it “團拜”. This year is a special year because it is unsafe to gather together due to COVID-19 disease. Our classmates reside overseas cannot come to Hong Kong to visit us too. We organized a video conference yesterday. 10 of our classmates attended the meeting.

After the meeting, some of the attendees wrote their feeling as below:

Jeff Chan:

As we celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year of the Tiger and especially after watching the 45th anniversary video yesterday, I felt as if we were back in our carefree high school days with countless wonderful memories, moments and fun times together😊😊

We grew up together through happiness and challenges.
We never judge and had no special agenda against one another.
We support and care for each other unconditionally.
There is nothing compares to those wonderful times we spent together.
Life is short and while we are on our way together, why not share?
“We Are Friends for Life”

Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger to you all🍷🍷🍷

Clara Ho:

Many thanks to Jeff & Pat! Your messages are just what I want to express to all !👍

Last night I watched again the 45^th graduation anniversary video in our website! I was very excited & heartfelt 💕 to go back the 45th anniversary moment because of our joyfulness !😊😊

Send through apps & e-mails are “Good sharing” and encourage all to come back to our never-lasting friendship !💪💪💪💪

Patience Wong:

I am so glad I was able to participate in the conference yesterday to celebrate the Year of the Tiger. I was so happy to see my classmates from Hong Kong, Toronto, Australia, and USA. I haven’t seen my classmates for 51 years. That is an amazingly long time. What was even more amazing was that once we started communicating, we just talked and talked as if we were still in high school. There were no barriers among us. It was so beautiful to experience that. However, we all wish that there were more participants. I do understand that we all are busy with life’s obligations and challenges. Let’s try to make time for ourselves and reconnect with our classmates from 50 years ago. It is truly wonderful that we are able to see each other after all these years. We just want to reconnect with our classmates from so long ago. The friendships that we made when we were in high school are priceless and will never fade. Of course, we always thank Adrian Hung for his tireless efforts in coordinating the events for us. Without him, none of these are possible.

Again, I was so happy to see my classmates yesterday. Their friendships and warmth truly inspire me. When we have our next gathering, I hope to see more classmates on the screen. Meanwhile, take care of yourself.

Lee Shin:

Without any doubt, we are true friends for life.

Robert Chu:

I echo with what Jeff mentioned. Thanks again for Adrian’s arrangement to gather over the internet as well as his past great effort to bring us back together. We ought to continue the momentum to share your precious life experiences, which , I am sure, are unique. Looking forward to your sharing.

Back to 5 years ago, we had a 45^th graduation anniversary celebration on 26^th October 2021. For details of the celebration, please refer to our previous article “An exciting memory for celebrating the 45^th graduation anniversary” written by TK Wong. See below:

We receive a message from Grace Tsang on May 25, 2021 saying that Ho sir 何敬謙老師在澳洲柏斯Perth逝世。

Jeff Chan	The memories of Ho Sir sharing his knowledge and wisdom while we were growing up will remain forever in our hearts.
Patience Lyons	I will always remember Mr. Ho. May Mr. Ho Rest In Peace. Condolences to the family.
Wong Tak Kwong	May our respectful Ho sir rest in peace, and my condolences to his family.

Chau Hoi Kit	永遠懷念💖尊敬的何老師！記憶中他還是第一代ICAC工作人員！
Joyce Jern	Mr Ho will be greatly missed but his kindness and gentle spirit will be with us forever!
Angela Or	想何Sir 在澳洲生活很好；還記得Dr Cheng 很欣賞他，在早會時說他勤力有幹勁（類似的話😅）

Clara Ho	RIP
May Kwok	RIP 永遠懷念！
Mary Lau	RIP 永遠懷念！
Robert Chu	他教什麼呢？我不認出他。
Adrian Hung	教economic?
Chau Hoi Kit	EPA

Tak Kwong Wong	對，是EPA，我們當時叫 Economic and Public Affairs. 不過我記得當時文科 EPA 和地理是蕭sir所教，何老師可能是教理科班，不知對否? 這已是半世紀之前的事我已記不清楚了。老實說我當時對 EPA 也不大感興趣，但相反我兒子是在密芝根大學主修經濟畢業，這大學也是以經濟在世界出名。
Robert Chu	我可能也算是那班对EPA 沒有興趣。畢竟，何老師留下許多美好回憶。事實上，每位老師也对你我影響很大。感恩！
Jeff Chan	I can’t agree with you more, Robert.
Chow Ho Wai	如果我沒有記錯，何老師應該是教完我們F3(?) 後就離開了大成中學的。
Jeff Chan	I believe you are correct !He taught us the basic understanding of the significance of economic in our society.

My narrow escape

Before our exam in School, boys had to take the chairs from the classroom to the Hall while girls took the chairs. We were warned not to run along the corridors in school and there would be penalty for those against the rule.

At Form 2, after I took the first table to the Hall, I ran along the corridor to go back to the classroom to pick up the second table. Unfortunately Ho sir came out from a classroom suddenly and I hit his hand. He rubbed his hand and ordered me to see him at the hall after moving the second table. I knew I was in trouble and likely to be punished with a minor or major demerit.

When I finished my task, I went to see Ho sir at the Hall with my head down and tears on my eyes. I said “Sorry Ho sir, please give me a second chance”. He said, “If I punish you with demerit, you won’t have the mood to prepare for the exam. Go home and study hard!”. I said, “Thank you very much Ho sir”.

Ho sir was really kind and considerate!

Irene Ko	I also have a story to share: At form 1 or 2, he once drove me home (not feeling well), accompanied by Miss Chan. I am not sure if the car belonged to him or the school.
Simon Fan	So much more caring than just calling a taxi for you.
Irene Ko	哈哈!佢喺教務主任。Indeed.

Jeff Chan	I recall I was appointed 班長by 班主任 Yeung Sir in Form 3B. After all these years I don’t know why……
Simon Fan	Yeung Sir repeated me in Form 1, and I know why. 😝
Grace Tsang	他想見你多啲？
Simon Fan	😯😆
Jeff Chan	Right on !!!
Cheung Wan Loi Roni	大部份留班的都是男仔（包括我），我想男仔較貪玩，懶讀書。☺
Simon Fan	🤣😂 很敬佩你顧家👍👍

Robert Chu	I remember him and he has an iron face (the one in the right). His brain is like a computer with unlimited memories , cashe, too. Ha! Ha! What has happened to him?
Chau Hoi Kit	Mr Ching told me that one of his students in his native place in China saved him from being caught by the Japanese troop.
Jeff Chan	Yes. like to know as well. He was the complete opposite of Mr. Yim Tse Choi who was the other Chinese history teacher who went by the book only. He reprimanded me on many occasions for having long hairs by standing beside the teachers office entrance door for 30 minutes or so… those memories linger….

Tak Kwong Wong	From my recollection both Ching sir and Yim sir had passed away many years ago. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Jeff Chan	All things must pass, memories forever remain.
Joyce Jern	Mr Ching was very good at stimulating students’ learning interest. Mr Yim was capable to drift many students into a dreamy afternoon. Anyhow, under Mr Yim’s guidance, 10 of us got distinction (A) in Chinese Language & Literature at the HK Cert of Education 會考 1971.
Jeff Chan	I must admit I was more interested in after school activities than studying for exams…. I recall Mr. Yau Kin Ming had distinct interest in classical music.
Robert Chu	What did the above teach as well as his name?
Jeff Chan	I couldn’t remember exactly the subject he taught…. perhaps other classmates might remember….??
Adrian Hung	Mr Yeung taught Chinese and Chinese History?
Chau Hoi Kit	And also taught F.2 boys handcrafts, such as baskets!
Cheung Wan Loi Roni	F.1- F.3 Chinese. Mr. Yim taught F.4 – F.5 Chinese.
Robert Chu	We were really blessed with all the good teachers.
Jeff Chan	They turned our innocent mind into thinking like a lawyer.
Chow Ho Wai	Not exactly, Mr. Yim taught us F3 Chinese when I was in F3B class.

深圳一天旅遊 2016年11月3日

今日天朗氣清，風和日麗，早上氣溫20 度，午後23 度，極度適合郊遊。十四位團友準時在關口集合。食brunch 的金皇廷酒樓裝修豪華，地方寬闊，點心尚算精美。

東門是深圳最早的市集，有第一間的深圳戲院，更是全國第一間的McDonald 所在地。鄰近的京基100大廈，狀似鬚刨，樓高100層，現為深圳最高的樓宇。東門步行街現在是購物熱點，更是港人做窗簾及衣服的首選。亞Paul 在地下商場以驚喜價￥115買了支「容祖兒金咪」，值得慶賀。

到蓮花山公園時，兵分兩路，一支上山觀看鄧少平銅像及俯望深圳地標之市政府大樓，另一組沿平路到蓮花湖看錦鯉及水上單車。上山組員以驚人速度，不消半小時便匯合山下隊友。

下午茶時間，快餐店的雲呑麵不合格，雲吞不是用鮮蝦，麵身不夠爽，燒雞亦稍為過燶，唯送餐服務值得讚賞。到了大出血的Sams Club 時間，以團購方式買雲南雲耳，亦不忘參加各種試食。

晚飯在皇軒酒店的福鼎軒酒樓食海鮮，有茶葉蝦，薑蔥蟹，椒鹽九肚魚，片皮鴨，石頭窩海鮮豆腐等，又有啤酒及汽水，算是過得去。

全程坐了三次地鐵及兩次巴士。不計個人消費，三餐共用了約二千元（人仔）。沈正成同學其實亦已探明下次聚會之K場高歌，其中唱K 的消費和環境對比香港更具吸引力。我們隨意選了加卅紅作瞭解，它們在平日由中午12 時至晚上七時會員價豪華大房(可容10-12人）收費是￥90。食品和飲料自理。這￥90不是按小時計算而是整個時段，房間寛敞又有衛生間。因此我們願意進行實地驗證，稍後高國芬會在群組發出通知何時擇吉出發，歡迎大家踴躍參加。
