Leung Cheuk Wai, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, announced today (21) that he has resigned and will join the Jockey Club as the "Executive Director of Charity and Community Affairs" on July 18 next year.
From the head of a hospital to one of the nine directors of the Jockey Club, will the salary rise or fall?
Looking at the 2020 annual report of the University of Hong Kong, among the high-paid faculty members, the highest salaries are about 7.8 million to 7.95 million yuan. It is reported that this person is not the principal Zhang Xiang.
The 11 highest-paid executives of the Jockey Club have annual salaries ranging from 5 million to 42 million yuan. Excluding the lowest and highest two, the remaining 80% salary ranges from 9 million to 17 million yuan, that is, his annual salary after joining the club is the least. 9 million yuan, or even more than 10 million yuan, must be higher than Zhang Xiang.
However, for Liang Zhuowei, who wants to deal with the ultimate challenge of the "rich-poor pandemic," the salary is not an important reason for him to turn to the runway.

The Jockey Club Charitable Trust Fund plays an important role
The Executive Director of Charity and Community Affairs of the Jockey Club has always been in charge of the Jockey Club’s "Big Water Pipe" and supervised the Jockey Club Charity Trust Fund’s donation projects, covering ten areas, including arts, culture and conservation, education and training, elderly services, poverty alleviation, environmental protection, For family services, medical and health care, rehabilitation services, sports and recreation, and youth development, in 2020/21, approved donations totaling HK$4.5 billion have been approved to support 528 charity and community projects.
The fund is ranked among the top ten charitable donor organizations in the world. The Jockey Club donates about 90% of its after-tax operating surplus to charitable trust funds every year. It is called a "government cash machine" and a "government small treasury." Therefore, the supervisor is very important. It is expected that Liang Zhuowei's annual salary will not be too low. If it starts at 9 million yuan, it will be significantly higher than that of Hong Kong University President Zhang Xiang.
In the face of adversity, the Jockey Club has taken steps to help the disadvantaged groups and the government.
In 2003, the SARS epidemic raged, and the Jockey Club allocated 500 million yuan to set up a health protection center. In 2020, at the beginning of the outbreak of the new coronavirus epidemic, the Jockey Club will donate anti-epidemic care packages, accelerate the approval of funding applications submitted by front-line agencies, and support recipients. People from all walks of life affected by the epidemic, including students, first-time job seekers, the elderly, and those in need of food assistance, have responded to the needs of all sectors of society. As of the middle of this year, the fund has approved donations of 1.5 billion yuan to support a number of projects in response to the epidemic.
Last year he said that he would return to officialdom as "very unlikely"
Liang Zhuowei joined Hot Kitchen in 2008 as the deputy director of the Food and Health Bureau, and in 2011 he became the director of the Chief Executive's Office.
In 2012, he returned to the University of Hong Kong as the dean of the Department of Social Medicine and was promoted to the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine in 2013.
The Jockey Club publication "Life in the Steps" published in July last year Liang Zhuowei's interview with his former colleague and Executive Director of Corporate Affairs Tan Zhiyuan of the Jockey Club.
The report mentioned that he became the youngest dean of the University of Hong Kong Hospital in 100 years at the age of 40. When asked whether he would return to officialdom, he said "the possibility is extremely low", but he said at the time: "To be honest, (Official career) is happy, but very hard."
Some friends think that Hong Kong is sick. It is better to heal the society than to heal the sick. But I dare not climb up to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the first student of our medical school.
He can "go to medicine" to treat the country, but I am "Chinese medicine" and "go to medicine" (Editor's note: "Go to medicine to treat the country, Chinese medicine to treat people, and go to medicine to treat diseases").
