Dear colleagues, students and alumni,

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Dr Chung Chi-yung, GBS, who passed away on 2 March 2014.

Dr Chung was an immensely valuable member of the CityU community and the recipient of a CityU Honorary Doctor of Social Science award in 2004.

Born in 1920 in Hunan province, Dr Chung was an extraordinarily gifted educator who contributed enormously to Hong Kong during her lifetime. She trained in the legal profession, subsequently becoming the first female judge in China’s history, and she co-founded Shue Yan College in Hong Kong in 1971, a private university that has significantly broadened and diversified higher education opportunities in Hong Kong. 

Dr Chung will be greatly missed and our deepest sympathies are with her family and friends at this difficult time.

Way Kuo
President and University Distinguished Professor

 

各位同事、學生、校友，

鍾期榮博士，GBS，於2014年3月2日謝世，在此謹向鍾博士的家人表示深切哀悼。

鍾博士於2004年即獲城大頒授社會科學榮譽博士，是城大社群備受尊崇的一員。

鍾博士於1920年出生於湖南，是一位才華橫溢的傑出教育家，生前對香港作出極大貢獻。她專業於法律系，並成為中國歷史上第一位女法官。1971年，她與丈夫在香港創辦了樹仁學院，及後正名為私立大學，為香港的莘莘學子提供更廣闊、更多元化的高等教育。

我們將永遠懷念鍾博士，並向她的家人與親朋致以最深切的慰問。
