Two of the five IB champions said they would stay in Hong Kong to study medicine.
Among them, Chen Zilang pointed out that he hopes to study medicine at CUHK or Hong Kong University. The various anti-epidemic knowledge and experience in the epidemic will strengthen his determination to practice medicine.
However, he said, he did not initially aim to study medicine.
He said his parents became interested in biology when they were young, often showing animal documentaries.
However, when he grew up, his father, a pharmacist, often shared and discussed medical knowledge with him, and he often participated in volunteer services outside the school, so he decided to "change his career" to study medicine.
Chen recalled that an experience of delivering meals to street sleepers made him see "the side behind Hong Kong's prosperity", which completely subverted his perception and triggered his ideal of staying in Hong Kong to practice medicine.
At that time, he saw the poor living conditions of the street sleepers, and some of them even took drugs. He described it as the first time he felt the serious disparity between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong. "Behind the prosperity, there are still people who need our help."
