Prof. Lawrence J. Lau, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, expressed deep gratitude for Mr. Li’s munificence. “We are most grateful for the support we have received from Mr. Li. It is encouraging that the University’s developments and plans enjoy the endorsement and support of community leaders and the community at large.
