Sparing no efforts in partnership with Wuyi University to nurture talents

Professor Zhang expressed sincere gratitude to Dr Lui’s donations. Since becoming Chairman of the Wuyi University Board in 2008, Dr Lui has been leading efforts of overseas and local natives to drive the development of the University. During the early years, donations were made for the construction of academic blocks such as the Lui Che Woo Hall and the Lui Che Woo Technology Building. Recently, the “Wuyi University Education Foundation of Hong Kong” under the leadership of Dr Lui donated its accrued assets in full to Wuyi University to fund the construction of students’ residences. The net annual income of the Foundation was also directed to the University to provide grants and scholarships and funding for other development projects which turned Wuyi University into a modernised college campus over the past 30 years.
