“Having Dr Yu as my mentor opened the gateway for me to the world of adulthood, and I have learnt more about the thoughts of the older generations and the reasons that supports their beliefs. Without this mentorship programme, my viewpoint would be confined to my own generation, which is not wide enough for me to develop a critical mind. We not only share the same passion in hiking, we also like chatting and exchanging views on a diverse topics such as history, social issues and our personal experiences. My mentor is very optimistic towards life. Unlike many Hong Kong people, he has taught me to look at the bright side and have faith in the future.
Dr Yu and I share similar family backgrounds, and his life experience and insight are especially inspiring to me. The positive energy he shared with me has helped give me an optimistic attitude toward my future as I step into my final year at the University.
Dr Yu is a very energetic retired medical doctor. He took me to golf practice and we went hiking together a few times. We had a lot of fun together and I enjoyed meeting his sporty friends as well.”
