Written by 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🍷🍷🍷

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.
