Mr.
Chong Gene Hang was born in Guangdong Province. He lived in America with
his wife and his brother in America for years,saving every dollar he earned
from his laundry business. He returned to Hong Kong in 1968, one year
before Mrs. Chong Gene Hang died. Mrs. Chong’s last wish was to
devote their life’s savings to education. Finally, a sum of $500,000
was contributed by Mr. Chong towards the erection of a secondary school
in Chai Wan, to be named Chong Gene Hang College.
In
his speech at the Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony of Chong Gene Hang
College, Mr. Chong said,
‘….
I worked and learned, day and night, rain or sun, with only two goals
in mind: first, to educate myself, and second, to save up enough to dedicate
to the cause of education for the benefit of future generations of children.
In
these wishes I was joined by my late beloved wife, whom I love dearly
and to whom I am dedicating this school, in memory of her never-failing
inspiration and encouragement….’
