From Manila to CUHK: How One Student's Journey Challenges Traditional Education Paths

HONg KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 July 2025 - Growing up with regular family trips to Hong Kong, Charles Henry Faustino TAN never imagined he would one day call the city his second home. Now a final-year Professional Accountancy student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), his story represents a shifting trend in Southeast Asian students seeking alternatives to traditional Western education destinations. Breaking from Convention Charles' path to CUHK came through serendipity. "My mother discovered CUHK during our university search," he recalls. "At the time, I knew little about its rankings or standing." What began as a last-minute application transformed into a defining choice, as Charles found himself drawn to CUHK's unique offerings - from its collegiate system to its sprawling green campus. His story reflects a growing trend among today's students who are looking beyond university rankings to seek institutions that offer a more holistic educational experience. Redefining Professional Education Charles' experience challenges common misconceptions about accountancy education. "Everyone, including me at one point, thought Professional Accountancy was just business mathematics," he reflects. "It's actually an international language and an art form." This perspective highlights the evolving nature of professional education in Asia, where traditional number-crunching roles are being transformed into strategic business positions. Beyond Classroom Walls Through the Co-op@CUHK programme, Charles gained invaluable industry exposure as a Financial Planning and Analysis Trainee at one of Hong Kong's prominent car retailers. The experience challenged him to apply classroom theories to real business scenarios - from market analysis to financial reporting. "What struck me most was seeing how our academic concepts directly influence million-dollar decisions," Charles shares. Working in a predominantly Cantonese-speaking environment, he initially worried about communication barriers. "The language barrier was definitely challenging," he acknowledges. "But it became an opportunity to develop cross-cultural communication skills essential in today's global workplace." Moreover, his technical skills and adaptability soon proved more valuable than language proficiency. "My supervisors were more interested in my analytical capabilities and fresh perspectives," he notes. The internship not only enhanced his professional skills but also gave him a realistic preview of working in Hong Kong's dynamic business sector - an experience that has shaped his career aspirations. Building Bridges Now in his final semester, Charles has taken on an unexpected role as a cultural ambassador. Noting the limited awareness of CUHK in the Philippines, he's working to bridge this information gap. "There's a misconception that studying abroad means going to the West," he explains. "Hong Kong offers a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, plus proximity to home - it's only 2.5 hours away." Campus Life Reimagined CUHK's sprawling campus - unusual in space-conscious Hong Kong - has created unexpected opportunities for community building. "I've seen wild boars, snakes, and monkeys on campus," Charles laughs. "It's like a tiny zoo." These experiences, combined with the university's collegiate system, have fostered a distinctive living-learning environment that sets it apart from other Asian institutions. As Southeast Asian students increasingly look beyond traditional education destinations, stories like Charles' highlight the changing landscape of international higher education. His experience suggests that the future of global education might not lie in choosing between East and West, but in finding spaces where both seamlessly #CUHK The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

GoGoX marks 12th anniversary as co-founder Steven Lam being named World Economic Forum Young Global Leader

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 July 2025 - GoGoX, a leader in logistics and delivery solutions, proudly announces that its Co-founder and Chairman, Steven Lam, has been honored as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leade r (YGL). This prestigious recognition highlights Steven's exceptional leadership and commitment to driving change in the logistics industry. The Forum of Young Global Leaders is an independent foundation and leadership platform of the World Economic Forum, comprising over 1,400 leaders from more than 120 countries. Members span various sectors, including business, government, civil society, media, and the arts. Each year, thousands are nominated, but only around 100 are selected through a rigorous process. Alumni include CEOs, public officials, artists, entrepreneurs, and academics, all recognized for their achievements and potential. Young Global Leaders contribute fresh ideas and diverse expertise to global discussions, shaping the agenda on critical issues such as AI, health, geopolitics, and urban transformation. "I am honored to join the Forum of Young Global Leaders, a dynamic group redefining leadership in a changing world," said Steven Lam. "In the logistics industry, I'm committed to delivering innovative solutions that help customers overcome challenges, grow their business, and operate more efficiently and sustainably. As a Young Global Leader, I look forward to collaborating with fellow leaders to address global challenges and drive impactful change. At GoGoX, we are committed to transforming logistics through technology, ensuring that we not only meet current demands but also anticipate future needs." As GoGoX celebrates its 12th anniversary, we reflect on a remarkable journey since our founding on 12 July 2013. Over the years, we have achieved significant milestones, including our successful listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which has empowered us to expand our services and enhance our technology. We have navigated challenges such as market fluctuations and evolving customer expectations, transforming them into opportunities for innovation and growth. Our partners and industry friends have been indispensable to our success, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering support. A typical case involved a Hong Kong e-commerce platform that, due to the recent trade war, had to temporarily hold a batch of goods destined for the United States. Through GoGoX Business 's warehousing service, the goods were securely stored and, once the tariff suspension was announced, they were promptly delivered to the port via GoGoX Business. The cost was reduced by 20-30%, demonstrating significant savings. Looking ahead, GoGoX is dedicated to leveraging AI to revolutionize logistics. Our future roadmap includes integrating advanced AI technologies to further optimize route planning, improve delivery efficiency, and enhance customer experiences. By harnessing data analytics and machine learning, we aim to anticipate market trends and streamline operations, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the logistics sector. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite our partners and clients to join us on this exciting journey toward a more innovative and efficient future in logistics.
