各位教會的弟兄姊妹,你們好:

        首先,我要感謝大家在我大學四年裡一直以來的支持。這對我來說意義重大!

        時間過得真快,一轉眼我已經四年級了!如果一切順利的話,我將於2024年7月底從香港中文大學畢業。

        作為香港中文大學機器人工程系(Robotics engineering)最後一年的學生,我們必須完成一個畢業專題研究(Final year project),以展示我們對這四年在大學所學課程的理解。雖然這個研究可能具有挑戰性,但我也非常享受它!我喜歡機器人技術,我很感激這條路為我而開。

        除了專題研究之外,我還享受著最後幾個月的大學生活:上課、參加活動和社交活動,並且非常享受與大學朋友一起度過的時光。因為我知道,畢業後我會很懷念大學生活。進入最後一年的學習,既非常令人興奮,又令人畏懼:令人興奮是因為畢業後我將開啟人生的新篇章;畏懼是因為工作生活與大學生活截然不同。我不確定畢業後會走哪一條路,但我確信那會是一條好的路!

        再次感謝大家四年來的大力支持!

        真誠地祝好!

Dear members of the church,

        Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your continuous support throughout my four years at university. It really means a lot to me!

        Time has flown by so quickly and in the blink of an eye I’m already in year 4! And if all goes well, I will be graduating from CUHK at the end of July of 2024.

        As a final year robotics engineering student at CUHK, we have to complete a final year project to demonstrate our understanding of the material we have learnt throughout the 4 years of university. While this project can be challenging, I am also thoroughly enjoying it! I love robotics and I’m grateful that this path was opened for me.

        Besides the project, I am also savouring my final months at university: attending classes, joining activities and socials, and definitely enjoying the time spent with my university friends. Because I know I will miss university life after I graduate.

        Being in my final year is both very exciting and daunting at the same time: exciting because I’ll be opening a new chapter of my life after graduation, but daunting because working life will be so different from university life. I’m not sure what path will open for me after graduation but I’m sure it will be a good one!

        Thank you all once again for your generous support over the past four years!

Yours sincerely,
Pak Kiu

各位教會的弟兄姊妹,你們好:

        首先,非常感謝你們過去三年不斷支持我的大學學習,真心感謝過去教會為我做的一切。

        這個學期特別忙碌!有點分身不暇:忙於學習、忙於為籌委會組織活動、忙於小組功課和衝各項死線。儘管充滿挑戰,我仍然享受學習工程。對十二月初的期末考試,的確有點緊張。加上,去年我參加了兩個籌委會:一個是伍宜孫書院的環保小組,另一個是中大橋牌學會。為此,組織大大小小的活動,忙到透不過氣。不過,值得與大家分享的是,今年我有份帶動中大與港大聯合舉辦——「兩大橋牌大賽」——的籌備工作。最後,這個比賽舉行得非常成功,我們也感到非常榮幸和驕傲。

        另一方面,2022年的暑假,我在中華電力公司(屯門青山發電廠的發電組)做了兩個月的暑期實習。這是一個相當啟發性的機會,透過上司和同事的幫助,讓我學會很多關於職業前景、工作環境、發電過程和工程師的角色。感恩的是,這是一個有薪金的暑期實習,因此我能把所得的工資儲存起來,為下學期的一個大計作了準備。

        帶著非常興奮的心情告訴你,這個大計就是我將會在2023年1月到英國利物浦大學作交換生,這是一個無條件錄取的交換生。我已經訂了機票,也申請了當地大學校園寄宿。我急不及待期盼明年1月中起行!聽聞利物浦的冬天十分寒冷,而我相當害怕寒冬,希望能適應天氣。我十分期待這次令人興奮的機會!

        讓我再次感謝你們對我及家人的支持。這支持實在使我們不再一樣。

Hi everyone,

        Thank you so much for all your continuous support over these past 3 years of my university studies. I am truly grateful for all everything that the church has done for me.

        This semester has been particularly busy! I had a lot on my plate: from studies, to organising events for my committees, to projects and deadlines. My studies are quite challenging, but nevertheless I’m really enjoying studying engineering. Final exams are coming up in early December and I’ve quite nervous for them. In addition, I joined two committees last year: The Wu Yee Sun (WYS) Green Team and the CUHK Bridge Club. Both committees have kept me busy with organising events big and small. One noticeable event that I’d like to share is the CUHK Bridge Tournament that I organised in conjunction with HKU. The tournament was a huge success and I’m really proud to be given the opportunity to host it.

        In other news, I worked as intern at China Light and Power (CLP) during this past summer. It was an enlightening opportunity which taught me so much about my future career prospects and working environment. I joined their generation team at the Castle Peak Power Station in Tuen Mun, and with the help of my colleagues and supervisors, I learned a lot about the generation process as well as an engineer’s role in it. Luckily it was a paid internship so I saved up the pay cheques I received for something big this next semester.

        And that is that I’m going on exchange to the University of Liverpool for semester two! I’ve received the unconditional offer to exchange there for the whole semester and I’m so excited. I’ve already booked the flights and applied for on-campus accommodation. I can’t wait to fly next year in mid-January! But I hear that the winter in Liverpool is really cold so I’m quite dreading the cold, hopefully I get used to it. I’m really looking forward to this exciting opportunity!

        I’d like to thank you all again for all the support you’ve given me and my family. It really has made a huge difference for us.

Regards,
Pak Kiu

各位弟兄姐妹:

        願你們在這個嚴重的疫情下有平安。

        向你們更新一下過去一年我的學習。上個學期是我第一個在中文大學就讀期間,用實體上課的學期。我十分享受這個學習經驗,因為可以在課堂中認識不少朋友。經過用功努力,這學期我的成績相當好(不錯)。

        此外,我申請了做交換生,並準備在三年級第二個學期到英國利物浦大學上課。中文大學已經接受了申請,現在要等待利物浦大學接納。我真的很興奮,而且希望在疫情之下也能夠成行。為此,我嘗試儲蓄,但是因為在目前疫情的情況下,我無法繼續做部分時間的補習班老師。希望今年暑假,當疫情穩定的時候,我可以繼續做補習老師。

        疫情影響了我在中文大學的學習。我們再沒有實體上課和實驗,全部課程都在網上進行。這真是令我變得有點無心機,因為我無法與我的朋友一起實體上課,另一方面上網課是十分沉悶,叫人提不起興趣。

        學習以外,我參加了兩個活動。第一個是我所屬書院的環保小組(Green Team),第二個是香港中文大學橋牌學會(Bridge Club of CUHK)。因為疫情的緣故,我們的活動都在網路上進行。而那些不能在網路上進行的活動,都要被迫取消了。我喜歡成為委員會的一份子,因為這讓我可以有機會體驗到大學生活裡面的社交活動。

        最後,我再次感謝各位弟兄姐妹的支持。我心中非常感激。

Hi everyone,

        I hope you are all staying safe during this severe pandemic in Hong Kong.

        I am writing to update you on my academic progress over the past year. Last semester was my first semester having in-person classes at CUHK. I really enjoyed the experience and I made a few friends during the classes. I studied hard and as a result my grades were quite good.

        In addition, I applied to go on exchange during the second semester of my third year. I applied to exchange at the University of Liverpool in the UK. The application was well received by CUHK, but I still need to wait for the University of Liverpool to accept my application. I’m really excited and I really hope I get to go even during the pandemic. I’m trying to save money but because of the current pandemic situation I am unable to continue part-time tutoring. I’m hoping to be able to continue again in the summer once the pandemic situation gets better.

        The pandemic has also affected my studies at CUHK. We no longer have any in-person classes or labs and everything is conducted online. It is disheartening not being able to attend classes with my friends and online classes can be very boring.

        Besides academics, I’ve also joined two committees. The first is the recycling committee of my college, Green Team. And the second one is the Bridge Club of CUHK. Because of the pandemic we are conducting our activities on online, but other activities that cannot be conducted online has sadly been cancelled. I’m glad to be a part of these committees because it gives me the chance to experience the social life of studying at university.

        I’d like to end off by thanking everyone for their support. I really appreciate it!

Regards,
Pak Kiu

各位親愛的忠心支持者:

        我在香港中文大學第一年的學習已經結束了。

        這一年可以說充滿不同的挑戰,包括網上上課和適應隨之而來的改變。網上上課使我難於交朋友、不能認識班中的同學、甚至不能見到他們的面孔,也無法在班裡產生互動。更困難的是,不能在課堂後與講師討論問題。網上考試挑戰更大,因為我不習慣在家裡考試的時候,有一個鏡頭隨時隨地監察著我。我寧願與同學在學校禮堂裡考試。

        但是,在這一年也有很多恩典。其中一個是我有能夠在今年的第二學期和暑假住在大學宿舍。因為疫情,宿舍很多設備都沒有開放或是限制使用,但是我得以一個人享用整個房間,實在是一件快樂的事。

        暑假期間,我決定修讀德文課程,能夠充實自己。我對學習新語言很有興趣,也希望能夠在廚房開始煮飯,這樣我就不需要到餐廳買外賣或是買學生餐了。

        整體來說,我從心裡謝謝每一位支持我完成中大第一年的學習的弟兄姐妹。特別感謝你們在經濟上支持我,資助了學費和宿舍的費用。我衷心謝謝你們。

Dear loyal supporters,

        My first academic year at the Chinese University of Hong Kong has recently come to a close.

        It was a year filled with different challenges, such as attending classes online and adapting to the changes that came with it. Online classes made it difficult to make friends with other students in my class, not knowing who was even in my class, not being able to see their faces and interact with them in a classroom environment. It was also more difficult to discuss problems with lecturers after class. Online exams also posed as a potential challenge because I wasn’t used to writing exams at home with a camera watching me the whole time, I prefer writing in the exam hall with fellow students.

        But there were graces in the year as well. One of which was the opportunity to reside in my college hostel for the second semester as well as during the coming summer vacation. I got the whole room to myself which was a pleasure to acquire. Although due to the pandemic, many hostel facilities are closed or have restricted access.

        For the summer session, I decided to take a short course in German. It’ll keep me occupied for a couple weeks before the official summer vacation. It’ll be interesting to learn a new language. I’m also hoping to start cooking in the kitchen as well, that way I won’t have to constantly buy take-away and student meals from the canteens.

        Throughout it all, I would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me through my freshmen year at CUHK. And a special thank you to those who supported me financially, you helped pay for my education and my hostel residence, I am grateful to you all.

Regards,
Pak Kiu

親愛的弟兄姊妹:

        感謝你們不斷在經濟上和祈禱上支持我的學業,這是我所需要的。

        斯泰倫博斯大學於每年一月開始開始新學年,經已上課六個月了。頭三個月在校園裡度過,後三個月因為新冠肺炎爆發,政府下令強制停課,我需要回家,在家中藉著網上上課。網上學習是艱辛的,但仍可應付。過去我習慣於實體的課堂模式,如今變成網上授課,這對我來說是巨大的轉變。

        雖然這樣,我仍能完成第一個學期及第一輪的學期考試。整體來說,我在斯泰倫博斯大學的工程系學習總算一帆風順。如今,我正等待公布成績。

        今年五月,我接到香港中文大學取錄的通知,我決定九月回香港繼續升學。因此,我在斯泰倫博斯大學第二個學期開始前退學。現在,我正熱切期待在香港讀大學的日子。

        因疫情之故,南非實行封國已有三個多月,現時仍未有國際航班。請為南非政府能開啟國際航班祈禱,也為我能順利回港升學禱告。謝謝你們的支持!

        祝平安!

Dear brothers and sisters,

        First of all, I’d like to thank you all for your continuous financial and prayer support. It is much needed and appreciated.

        It has been 6 months since starting my studies at Stellenbosch University: three of those months were spent on campus while the other three were spent at home as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. The coronavirus outbreak forced the university to take a mandatory recess period meaning that I only resumed classes online in April. Online classes have been tough but bearable. It was drastic change from the interpersonal lectures to which I was accustomed. But lo and behold, I have reached the end of semester one and finished the first round of semester exams. In general, my engineering studies at Stellenbosch have been smooth sailing considering all circumstances. And I am currently waiting for these exam results to be published.

        Since I will be attending the Chinese University of Hong Kong this coming September, I have chosen to discontinue my studies at Stellenbosch for second semester in anticipation. I am very much looking forward to continuing my studies in Hong Kong.

        Since South Africa is currently lockdown for 3 months due to coronavirus, the border is closed at this moment. Please pray that the SA government will open the border and international flight can be resumed. And I can return Hong Kong for further studies.

Regards,
Pak Kiu

親愛的主內弟兄姊妹平安:

宣教士子女修讀大學教育基金——杜柏翹姊妹

        本團派駐南非工場宣教士杜文瀚、杜劉玉潔牧師師母的小女兒柏翹今年一月進入南非開普敦省的斯泰倫博斯大學(Stellenbosch University)工程學院,主修機械電子學(BEng(Mechatronics))。

        柏翹三歲隨父母往南非宣教,在南非成長,是個活潑開朗,對事物充滿好奇,喜歡尋找真相與原理的孩子。孩提時志願當老師的她,沒想到在上了資訊科技課後,愛上了電腦程式編寫,要將系統與創意生活化,把機械、電子和電腦三者結合,造出讓人類生活得更美好的事物。

        中福團一直堅持讓宣教士子女得到最好和最適切的教育。當孩子就讀中、小學時,教育費是放在宣教士經費中籌募。到了大學修讀第一個本科學位時,就為每個孩子設立專屬的「宣教士子女大學教育資助」,原因是基於兩個重要的考慮:

  • 大學費用的開支,因應不同國家地區的差異而有所不同,有些地區費用高昂,將這筆開支計入一般宣教士經費項目來支持,會為基本經費籌募帶來困難。
  • 用籌募資助專款的方式,可以鼓勵大家對宣教士子女的關注,特別是宣教士子女大學教育的需要。這課題正是眾華人差會的共同努力,我相信也是眾教會所關心的。

        假若你關心宣教士子女大學教育,願意支持柏翹姊妹前往開普敦省升學,請將奉獻擲寄本團,並請註明「杜柏翹大學教育資助」。柏翹大學畢業時若專款仍有結餘,會撥歸「宣教士子女大學教育資助專款」之用。

杜柏翹心聲:

  十年後,當我能夠設計並製造屬於我自己的機械人時,我定會想起和感謝那些曾教導我所有有關機械電子學(Mechatronics)和機械人知識的大學教授團。感謝斯泰倫博斯大學(Stellenbosch University)我十八歲時接納了我的入學申請進入工程學系。我一直夢想著將機械、電子和電腦三者結合起來後產生的工程。

  幾年前我才發現自己熱愛這學科。當我還在中學修讀資訊科技(Information Technology)時,我不單單希望寫出電腦程式,我更希望所寫的程式能生活化,能發揮更多功能和更有用途。想起年幼時,我喜歡將物件拆開,研究它裡面的零件如何運作,系統裡的每一部份如何組合而成為一體,每一個零件如何在整體中有獨特而重要的角色。端詳過後而最令我興奮的時刻,就是能再次把所有拆下來的零件重新組合,並看見它跟先前一樣地重新運作。

  我希望能創作一些有意義的東西,能讓人類不斷向前,一些東西能發展得更好,更遠和更深廣。讓我們成為「更好的」我們。

  Ten years from now when I am building my very own robots with parts that I have designed and created myself, I will be able to think back to my college years and recall all that I have learnt at the University.  I will think and remember my professors at University who taught me all that I needed to know and more about mechatronics – robotics – and all that’s involved.  As I am living my dream of bringing mechanical, electrical and computer parts together I will be grateful to University for accepting my application into their course in 2019 when I was 18 years old.

  Back to the present, it was not until a few years ago that I discovered my love for this field.  It was during my Information Technology class at Pearson High School when I realized I wanted to do more than simply creating a program; I wanted to write code that could be enlivened – code that could do something greater and be more useful.  Even at a young age, I loved taking things apart to discover how they worked – how each part of the system fitted together to work as one and how each part had its own uniquely essential role to play – but the most exciting part was reassembling those pieces together and making it all functional again.

  I want to be able to create something that could advance the human species – something that can do more, reach further heights and depths and, most importantly, be something that would mean something. I want to help us. I want to help us be the best version of us.
