If you are
● a CUPEM or HKU alumni or staff; ● a planner; ● passionate about conservation issues; or ● a kind hearted person who wants to give a hand to a cancer patient,
we want to appeal for your participation in a campaign to raise funds for Winnie Kwan, a graduate from CUPEM who suffered from cancer two years ago and has had a relapse recently. Currently, she is having oral chemotherapy treatment.
Winnie Kwan - A brilliant and diligent student
Despite her illness, Winnie Kwan is an excellent student and a born planner. She is a nature lover, a talented artist, a hardworking researcher who cares about heritage conservation and sustainability issues in Hong Kong. In the second and final year of her masters degree, she got straight 'A' s for all the courses she took and received a high distinction for her dissertation. She will definitely pass the M.Sc. degree with distinction. For those who can read Chinese, you can visit her website at: http://www.geocities.com/wwykwan/

簡 介 : About
When she carried high hope of entering the profession as she completed her last term of the academic year, Winnie was diagnosed with metastasis of the cancer cells to her lung. She underwent a more than 6-hour operation in early July to remove the cancerous tumor in her lung. As she already had the strongest chemotherapy drug in the public hospital system last round, she has to pay for her own medicine this time. As the public hospital does not provide PET scan to monitor the effectiveness of the drug, she has to pay for the scan in a private hospital. Coupled with the fact that her father, the only bread winner in the family as her elder brother has his own family, will retire soon, she needs help in paying for the medical expenses.
It is estimated that for two years of oral chemotherapy drugs and regular 3-6-month PET scans (depending on her reaction to the drug), we need to raise about HK$200,000. We hope you can give us a hand!
You can help our fund-raising campaign by
●
Showing your artistic talent by drawing a picture on ‘heritage conservation and revitalization’ and at the same time, use your charm to solicit sponsors;
●
Bidding for the final products in an auction; or●
Making money donations to Winnie Kwan via the University of Hong Kong. You can also donate to sponsor those producing art works for the action.
We chose the theme “heritage conservation and revitalization” because it also symbolizes our best wishes for Winnie Kwan’s revitalization of her body and health. In fact, Winnie Kwan’s excellent dissertation is also related to conservation and regeneration issues. However, participants in the drawing activity are free to choose their own theme.
Please take action!
●
If you want to exercise your planning imagination in revitalizing Hong Kong and help raise funding for Winnie Kwan’s medical expenses, please fill in the participant form and download the sponsorship form to start soliciting support for this meaningful endeavour.
❍ Submissions can be paintings, sketches, photos, photomontage, or any form of art work.
❍ You are encouraged to mount and frame the artwork at your own expense. ❍ Should you require us to mount and frame your artwork, please note that submissions are
preferably not larger than A4 size. ❍ Please turn in the final work and money raised (in the form of a cheque) to
Miss Arlene Chan, CUPEM on or before October 29, 2004 (Friday). ●
If you want to donate* to Winnie Kwan via the University of Hong Kong’s account, please write a cheque to ‘The University of Hong Kong’ and specify at the back “Donation for Winnie Kwan” or “sponsorship for which artist”. Please send the cheque to CUPEM, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong.

她 的 故 事 Her story
擁 有 著 生 命 , 是 一 種 福 氣 。
活 著 , 是 一 種 藝 術 。
能 活 出 一 個 平 淡 的 生 命 , 更 是 一 門 高 深 的 藝 術 。

「 愛 的 疤 痕 」 便 是 如 此 緊 緊 地 鎖 著 我 的 經 歷 … …

Life, is a gift; And, Life is a blessing;
Living, is a series of lessons; And, Living is an unfathomable Art;
Mystery of a beautiful life, is Living in a simple way; And, A Beautiful Life must be lived to be understood.
Even though I am a young lady without a healthy body nor a career, I am still alive and can live a simple yet full life which is even better than many healthy bodies!
I am delighted to have the privilege of sharing my life story with you—a plain, pure but beautiful life story which can hardly be expressed through language. From my hearts to yours, you can try understanding my life by love, my episode and experience by empathy.
My life story is all about my scars—A metaphor of love…
My first “Scar of Love”, which is the most important one in my life, was born some twenty years ago. It was the reminder of my nice mother protecting me and feeding me with her shared nutrients when I was still a fetus inside her womb.It witnesses my existence in this world and symbolizes an intimate connection and an unconditional love between a kind mother and her lovely daughter.
One month later, a little angel realized the loneliness of the first “Scar of Love” and tried to find a companion for him. This induced the creation of “Scar of Love the second”—during an incident of blood transfer and representing a kind of love from an anonymous man who had saved me. Since then, these two “siblings” were the best friends of mine, together we have lived in a comfortable home and together we have gone through a happy life.
Perhaps, a fallen angel envied me and put me into a test when I was in my 20s. Unexpectedly, my specialist sent me two more “Scars of Love” in this challenge. Even

though these twins handed out to me the unimaginable, I did accept the contingency of life. However, it came up with an unanticipated incident again a few months later which startled me—my specialist sent me another “Scar of Love” again.
“Life is absurd!”
This was what popped up in my mind. I grieved once again; the sadness invaded me again; and the sorrow raged me again. I wrestled with myself and craved to hear the reason for my suffering. Nonetheless, the “Scars of Love” told me that it was pointless to quest for the rationale behind, reminded me to get rid of my emotional turmoil and taught me to pull myself together.
“Transformation!”
A voice came out of my inner self. I woke up from self-depreciation; my sadness was beginning to fade and I told myself, “I will never be sad again.” I started to dwell in God’s love and cradled in His arms. He hugged me tightly but soothed me gently.
“Don't look back, but keep looking forward! There is always a way out!”
He started my hope again.
One and a half-year later, the nightmare returned. This might strike other people but certainly thankfully not me. It has not struck me disastrously nor made me sad. In the past, I was ignorant and shallow but now I have learnt the trick of letting go. This attitude has helped me build up an ability to control my sentiment and prepare me to pass through this ordeal. Although at times the challenge is so great that I cannot help bursting into tears, I know the only right way to confront with adversity is—to live in peace and joy; I am confident that I can overcome these difficulties.
The “Scars of Love” are the storehouse of my life experience…
You cannot imagine how simple a beautiful life is:The key to a meaningful life is to live in a simple way;Living your life to the fullest by faith;Striving for excellence by having riches in heart;Transforming a tragedy into a triumph;Changing your role as a victim to a winner.

Feeling from her sister by her sister, KWAN Wing-shan 撰 寫 : 她 的 妹 妹 關 詠 珊
笑 , 是 姊 姊 其 中 一 個 標 記 。
雖 然 我 覺 得 她 有 時 會 像 一 個 稚 氣 未 脫 的 大 孩 子 般 活 潑 愛 玩 , 可 是 作 為 一 個 姊 姊 , 卻 又 沒 半 分 毫 像 個 孩 子 。
她 有 的 , 是 給 予 人 一 種 值 得 令 人 信 賴 和 依 靠 的 感 覺…
她 很 疼 鍚 我 , 很 有 耐 性 地 聽 我 說 話 , 也 喜 歡 跟 我 分 享 她 的 東 西 , 她 身 邊 所 發 生 的 事 ~ 記 得 從 前 , 我 是 個 很 橫 行 霸 道 的 人 , 但 她 卻 能 對 我 處 處 忍 讓 , 這 絕 非 一 個 沒 氣 量 的 人 所 能 做 到 的!
她 面 對 自 己 所 有 的 病 , 是 非 常 勇 敢 和 令 人 佩 服 的 行 為 ,
I am so proud of her!
能 有 這 樣 的 一 個 她 來 當 我 的 姊 姊 , 我 很 高 興 , 也 很 幸 運 ~
On My Student Winnie Kwan by her teacher, Dr. Mee Kam NG, Associate Professor, CUPEM, HKU 撰 寫 : 她 的 老 師 伍 美 琴 博 士 , 副 教 授 , 香 港 大 學 城 市 規 劃 及 環 境 管 理 中 心
Although I am the Centre’s admissions tutor, I have to confess that I usually cannot remember who’s who in the first two months of class. However, I did remember Winnie Kwan because I accidentally pumped into her in October 2001 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology where I reside. She was holding her friend’s arm who obviously had just celebrated her happy graduation. Not too long afterwards, I got the bad news that Winnie had cancer at a rather advanced stage. In a way, I saw Winnie going through that very difficult operations and treatment period with a lot of pain, frustration and sadness. However, she also displayed determined courage and brevity in fighting the disease. When she regained her health in 2002, she resumed her studies with full gear. She really impressed me greatly in one incident. She handed in a paper in her portfolio on planning theories. She wrote her paper on Beijing (I cannot remember the exact contents or title) which I considered as too descriptive and lacked analytical depth, etc. The next day, she sent me a revised version addressing all the comments that I had made. Winnie Kwan is really a dream student any teacher would love to have: a determination to do her best and achieve excellence! She is a credit of life and she deserves our love and help!

A Prayer for Winnie by her teacher, Dr. Roger, C. K. CHAN, Associate Professor, CUPEM, HKU 撰 寫 : 她 的 老 師 陳 掁 光 博 士 , 副 教 授 , 香 港 大 學 城 市 規 劃 及 環 境 管 理 中 心
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:10
Lord, you provide every good gift and bless us with the overflowing abundance of the earth. You invite us to enjoy those gifts, but also to be good stewards of them. Help us today to be generous and compassionate to all who need help. May we never use our giving or service to others to pretend that we are superior to them, but rather remain humbly aware that we are no less needy in our own ways. Amen.

Winnie Kwan is an excellent student and a pleasant person. She is always eager to learn and overextend herself to produce an output that is truly remarkable. Winnie was a joy to teach and know as an individual. I wish her well and pray for the best future.

Winnie 是 我 Urban Planning Workshops 的 學 生 , 她 溫 文 爾 雅 , 經 常 掛 著 微 笑 , 做 presentation 時 表 露 充 份 的 準 備 功 夫 。 我 完 全 看 不 出 她 的 疾 病 。
最 令 我 印 象 深 刻 的 是 Winnie 的 投 入 和 積 極 的 態 度 。 學 期 完 結 時 , 當 她 知 道 長 春 社 可 能 會 做 一 個 以 文 物 保 護 政 策 為 主 題 的 市 民 參 與 活 動 時 , 她 主 動 地 表 示 樂 意 幫 忙 , 一 般 人 對 義 務 工 作 , 往 往 說 過 就 忘 記 了 。 可 是 Winnie 卻 積 極 跟 進 , 充 份 表 現 了 她 的 熱 誠 。 可 惜 當 長 春 社 得 到 政 府 撥 款 , 準 備 展 開 工 作 時 , 她 卻 要 入 院 未 能 參 與 。 對 於 一 個 熱 誠 、 肯 承 擔 、 有 抱 負 的 年 青 人 , 我 希 望 盡 力 扶 她 一 把 , 期 望 她 早 日 康 復 , 為 香 港 作 出 更 大 的 貢 獻 。

那 一 刻 , 我 深 深 感 受 到 有 些 事 是 我 們 無 法 掌 握 的 • • •
而 KWUN 在 面 對 逆 境 時 , 仍 然 保 持 樂 觀 和 積 極 , 確 實 令 我 十 分 佩 服 。 每 次 跟 她 見 面 , 她 都 表 現 得 很 開 朗 、 很 有 活 力 , 談 論 著 她 的 新 手 工 、 逛 公 園 的 遭 遇 等 , 根 本 不 可 能 找 到 一 點 點 病 人 的 影 子 。
經 過 一 年 的 治 療 及 休 養 , 她 終 於 可 以 重 返 校 園 , 完 成 了 Master Degree 的 課 程 。
今 天 , 她 再 一 次 面 臨 癌 病 的 威 脅 。 對 於 健 康 狀 況 已 大 不 如 前 的 KWUN , 相 信 這 一 次 需 要 更 大 的 努 力 和 勇 氣 去 面 對 。
請 大 家 珍 惜 現 在 所 擁 有 的 , 並 把 握 這 個 機 會 , 齊 心 支 持 和 鼓 勵 KWUN , 陪 伴 她 走 過 這 段 艱 難 的 路 !

Feeling from her friend by her friend, Winnie LAW撰 寫 : 她 的 朋 友 Winnie LAW
When I first met Winnie, it was very obvious to me that she was rather like a kid – although she was quiet most of the time, she was playful and always needed companionship. However, as I saw her experiencing the painful process of chemotherapy, I realised that Winnie has a great hidden personality that not many people would have – a sense of humour even under the most adverse circumstances. She remained cheerful throughout the whole recovery process and worked extra hard on her study and part-time job after the chemotherapy. Such momentum demonstrates that Winnie is a gifted person. She is also a caring person. I know that Winnie prayed for others’ needs even when her own body was weak. She is one of the lovely angels in my life.
My Encounter with our Heroine "Winnie KWAN"by her ex-colleagues, Terry CHAO, Town Planner 撰 寫 : 她 的 前 同 事 Terry CHAO, 城 市 規 劃 師
The name "Winnie KWAN" used to be quite "remote" to me when she worked as a summer student in Lantau & Islands District Planning Office, Planning Department about a year ago. At that time, I met her only a couple of times in a cell group gathering and a hallway setting, saying those routine "hi and bye" (my confession here!!).
Not until April 2004 when Winnie sent her sharings to one of our cell group members, I started to pay my special "heed" to this wonderful Christian girl and my impression upon her could be highlighted as follows:
A very Courageous Girl "Man, if I were you, I’d be down like a dead dog!!" I once shared this feeling with Winnie. Winnie's "boldness" to share her breast cancer, her pain, her faith and confidence in God with others has really inspired me to the utmost. To a youngster like her in terms of her chronological age and Christian walk, Winnie’s “boldness and trust in HIM” have excelled thousands including me of course.
A very Trustworthy Faithful My understanding of Winnie relies heavily on my past visit (with Dr. Kenneth TANG) to hospital, regular e-mails and calls, personal visits to her home and yeah our gatherings at "Starbucks". Not only I've found out that Winnie's special delight is a simple "hot chocolate", but also her aspiration for God's Guidance and Comfort is just mind-boggling to comprehend. Her diligence to search for Divine messages from some simple given stuff like Christian CDs and CDs have proven one simple truth: "Sweats and tears always co-exist in some faithfuls!!"
Be "Love Weavers" in return for Eternal Blessings Romans 8:28 states very clearly: "For God causes all things to work together for good (not much I could recite..hey sorry for my shallowness!!)" The coming two years will be a "Big Fight" for Winnie both physically and spiritually. As one of her friends, may I invite/encourage all people whether be Christians or non-Christians to join hands together and cultivate our Love for Winnie, i.e. be Love Weavers, by some practical actions including your financial support for her substantial medical expenses. If we pour out our honest hearts to help the needy, God's abundant blessings will be showering upon every single person at His

Winnie Kwan – God’s Masterpiece I Knowby her former supervisor, Rowena, Town Planner 撰 寫 : 她 的 前 上 司 Rowena, 城 市 規 劃 師
“You are the potter and I am the clay. Mould me and make me, this is what I pray.” This is the lyrics of a hymn that we are all familiar with.
Winnie has undergone tremendous pain and adversaries in the past three years since I first knew her. Nonetheless, she maintains a positive perspective and a tender heart. Her positive outlook towards life has been a motivation to her peers. This is why they have created this web site and hold the compassionate auction to help Winnie through this difficult moment in her life.
Winnie was a student of my good friend. We prayed for her strength to endure the hardship during her first fight against cancer three years ago. During the difficult moments, she came to know Christ and became a very devoted Christian.
Like clay being mould by a potter, Winnie went through periods of worries to peace, exhibiting some of the unique qualities inherent in her. Winnie is now very mature and resilient with a youthful heart. Her trust and faith in Christ has certainly made her a stronger and more steadfast person in striving to live her life to the fullest.
After she has recovered, I met Winnie when she worked as a summer student in the Planning Dept. On many occasions, we shared our views and experiences about our work, further studies and our religious belief. She also shared with me her dream – which was bringing revitalization to rundown urban areas, an issue which she later chose to work on for her MA dissertation. An important theme for the present compassionate auction.
Life is not always rosy. Winnie has recently suffered from yet another blow – she has been diagnosed as having lung cancer. Thank God! She came through the operation with her positive outlook and perseverance.
I believe, with our help and support, she would have a speedy recovery so that she could from then on commit herself towards the worthy pursuit of the betterment of our urban landscapes.
Are you willing and ready to give a helping hand to our talented town planner?

Feeling from her classmateby her classmate, Annie WONG 撰 寫 : 她 的 同 學 黃 杏 兒
Winnie 是 一 個 滿 有 恩 賜 的 女 孩 。 她 天 資 聰 敏 , 成 績 優 異 , 寫 作 妙 筆 生 輝 ;她 才 藝 超 卓 , 創 意 無 限 , 繪 畫 栩 栩 如 生 ;她 活 潑 開 朗 , 笑 聲 嘹 亮 , 積 極 勇 往 直 前 。
即 使 經 歷 了 數 次 手 術 , 活 在 百 般 的 試 煉 中 , Winnie 仍 然 努 力 面 對 種 種 的 挑 戰 。 因 為 她 深 知 道 她 所 信 靠 的 天 父 是 信 實 無 變 , 就 如 同 她 最 喜 愛 的 詩 歌 所 描 述 一 樣 - 縱 然 人 生 會 有 「 困 苦 、 壓 逼 、 憂 心 、 掛 念 」 , 但 神 的 愛 是 「 必 不 停 斷 」 , 更 是 「 終 不 改 變 」 。
我 也 確 信 「 神 未 曾 應 許 天 色 常 藍 , 人 生 的 路 途 花 香 常 漫 ; 神 未 曾 應 許 常 晴 無 雨 , 常 樂 無 痛 苦 , 常 安 無 虞 。 神 卻 曾 應 許 生 活 有 力 , 行 路 有 光 亮 , 作 工 得 息 , 試 煉 得 恩 助 , 危 難 有 賴 , 無 限 的 體 諒 , 不 死 的 愛 。 」 願 神 的 愛 大 大 的 充 滿 Winnie 。

打 從 小 學 二 年 級 開 始 , 我 已 經 認 識 關 詠 儀 了 , 相 識 了 差 不 多 二 十 年 ! 可 能 身 高 及 學 號 的 原 故, 很 多 時 候 我 都 在 她 附 近. 更 巧 的 是: 我 們 也 住 在 同 一 條 街 道 上 . 因 為 這 種 種 原 因 , 我 們 很 快 便 稔 熟 起 來 , 我 也 經 常 到 她 家 玩 耍 , 放 學 也 在 一 起. 但 自 從 我 搬 家 後 , 我 們 便 很 少 聯 絡 了!
升 中 派 位 公 佈, 很 高 興 我 們 升 讀 同 一 間 中 學, 學 校 編 班 也 是 同 班 呢 , 就 這 樣 我 們 由 小 二 到 中 二 , 做 了7 年 的 同 班 同 學, 很 奇 怪 的 是 : 我 們 吃 飯 不 是 一 起, 玩 耍 也 不 是 一 群 , 但 我 們 並 沒 有 因 此 而 疏 遠 , 心 裡 也 當 對 方 是 知 心 朋 友 呢! 過 了 幾 年, 一 次 在 ICQ 看 見 她 , 她 說: " 我 有 些 問 題, 請 你 為 我 祈 禱! " 當 時, 她 沒 有 告 訴 我 是 什 麼 一 回 事, 只 是 說 遲 一 點 會 知 道 ! 那 時 我 還 以 為 是 什 麼 大 不 了, 並 沒 有 想 過 她 得 的 是 : 癌 症
怎 麼 要 選 她 , 真 是 一 百 萬 個 不 明 白 ! 她 的 生 活 比 我 們 每 一 個 都 正 常 , 沒 有 什 麼 不 良 嗜 好, 家 裡 也 有 一 個 好 媽 媽 照 顧 , 真 是 不 明 白 呢..
到 她 真 的 要 到 醫 院 治 療 時 , 我 探 過 她 好 幾 次 , 看 到 她 的 臉 容 很 蒼 白 , 瘦 得 見 骨, 我 相 信 沒 有 一 個 人 不 心 痛 ; 看 到 她 面 有 難 色 時, 就 知 道 手 術 及 藥 物 給 她 的 折 磨 ! 她 總 是 強 忍 她 的 痛 楚 , 淚 水 及 情 緒 , 相 識 這 麼 久 也 沒 有 看 見 她 哭 的 樣 子 , 我 覺 得 她 很 堅 強 , 但 我 相 信 她 心 裡 一 定 很 難 受.
我 們 有 時 得 了 傷 風/ 感 冒, 也 辛 苦 得 要 命, 說 什 麼 死 了 便 算 ! 我 們 有 沒 有 想 過 其 實 生 命 是 多 麼 可 貴 呢 ?! 我 在 這 裡 祝 願: 疾 病 快 點 離 開 關 詠 儀, 讓 她 有 一 個 健 康 快 樂 的 人 生!

I am thankful for the privilege to be in the same cell group with Winnie for a little more than half a year. For all the time I have known Winnie, she is positive, energetic, encouraging and courageous. I have to thank her especially for generously sharing her life with us – be it wonderful moments that she spent with her classmates who all come from different parts of the world, adventurous trips to the countryside, her upbringing, how she got to know and believe in Jesus, and last but not the least, her battle with cancer.
I remember when I first learned about Winnie’s health crisis, I wondered why such misfortune happens to a young, lively sister in Christ. Yet Winnie demonstrates extraordinary courage. Doubts and anxieties there may be, yet I have never heard Winnie complain. With perseverance, Winnie completed her masters’ program despite facing uncertainties regarding her health. With courage and faith, she paid visits to clinics for body checks, went through the pain of a big surgery, and is going through two-year chemotherapy.
Prayer support has become the most important tie we have with Winnie throughout this half-year period. As a cell group, we humbly learn how to support one another through prayers and actions when anyone of us is facing difficult situations. For several consecutive weeks, our cell group held weekly prayer meeting, and together we specifically pray for Winnie’s surgery and recovery. And in prayers, we felt the comfort and power from the above.
Despite all the challenges Winnie was encountering, I was so grateful that she has not forgotten to support me in prayers and give me encouragement so that I could sustain through one of my difficult moments in preparing for an exam while working like crazy at the same time.
God has turned what seems to be a misfortune in Winnie into a blessing and encouragement to many. May Winnie continue to be a courageous witness of Jesus. May the Holy Spirit continue to move and touch our hearts so that we can continue to learn how to love and care for one another in prayers and in concrete actions.

The world is full of challenges, difficulties and uncertainties. We know these from our childhood, school time and the real society. I know you also reflect that we should insist on what we trust and treasure because many people had already worked it out, like our parents. Let us to share your challenges, difficulties and uncertainties, I often pray for you Winnie.

Winnie has been really tough and strong during her fight against the disease. She has run a good marathon and she deserves our applause and continuous support. I would also like to thank God for what He has done on Winnie. He has made everything possible in His time.
Feeling from her friend by her friend and classmate, Jon MAK 撰 寫 : 她 的 朋 友 和 同 學 Jon MAK
Winnie and I worked together in a number of workshops and planning projects. In addition to her being reliable, hard-working, productive, efficient and creative, she is also a wonderful friend to chat with. When I wasn't available to meet she worked alone without a word of complaint; where I couldn't go for site visits she went on my behalf; what I couldn't draw with my clumsy hands she drew and returned with completed renderings and perspectives. She is the perfect work partner and a great pal. Best wishes and get well soon!
Feeling from her friend by her friend and classmate, Jennifer LAI 撰 寫 : 她 的 朋 友 和 同 學 Jennifer LAI
認識Winnie是在Year 1 Psy的tutorial, 整個tutorial只有十個不夠的學生, 雖然我與她不太相熟, 但直覺她是一個很nice的同學, 整天的笑, 那個semester過得很快,我們好像沒有交換什麼電話及電郵地址已經是新學期了.
再遇上應是在年多前一個CUPEM的semester, 看到她戴著帽子, 有一種不安的感覺. 其後我們再在Lib相遇, 她才告訴我她患了cancer, 化療使她的頭髮都脫落了.
期後她給了我她的網址, 我用了一段時間把她的經歷都讀過, 從此以後, 我們便經常在ICQ裡'見面'傾訴, 因為看了她的網頁, 激起了我想擁有自己網頁的念頭,她真的很好, 我起初不懂upload那些files, 是她替我弄好的, 網址都是她為我改的.
之後每天都留意她的網頁她的近況, 知道她可以脫掉帽子的時候很替她開心, 有時候在campus遇上會她看到她很累的樣子覺得她很辛苦, 但唯一不變的, 是她的笑容.
幾個月前她有一次給我ICQ message說她肺裡長了腫瘤, 不知是惡性還是良性, 希望我為她祈禱. 最後她告訴了我她要再動手術, 我已經失去了方寸, 只希望她可以好起來.
雖然Winnie經歷過一次又一次的難關, 她仍然勇敢面對, 她仍然愛笑. 我一直被她的堅強鬥志所感動, 雖然我的能力不多, 我只可以在ICQ碰上她時給她一點支持.
但我知道, 她一定會像從前一樣, 打一場漂亮的勝仗.

Dear Winnie, I must say that I don't know you. We've never met. I know of your story through a number of HKIP friends, nature lovers, hikers and training-to-be-Trialwalkers, and the fund raising campaign website and then the website of your own. I came to realise a true story of courage and hardship, passion and suffering, love and life ! Though I don't know you, I must say that I'm touched by your passion in life, your love in nature, and your courageous fight against adversities ! Still we've never met, but a group of hikers/planners/nature lovers/friends, including me, are touched by you and your life, and we've decided to show our earnest supports and concerns for you, me too, financially and spiritually ! While we've been training hard for the Trailwalker event, I think that you're really a Super-Lifewalker ! I couldn't say for my friends, but I can speak the true hope from my heart that I hope that you would be STRONG ! Be HAPPY ! And LIVE your LIFE ! Knowing you to be a real nature lover, I also wish to share with you some of the photos we took during our recent trips, though they are not taken by me, I must confess ! I think we all would hope that you would also share with our joys with the great mother nature and perhaps you would be able to join us in our future trips too ! Keep going ! Get well ! 姓名 Name: Wong Yuk Shuen (Sandra Ho/Mrs. Ho) 留言 Message:Dear Winnie, Do you still remember me? I am your school teacher in Sacred Heart Canossian School.

Just stay happy all the time and your sickness will go away. Trust me, that's always true :-) 姓名 Name: Kitty Wong 留言 Message:Hi Winnie! I am really touched by the overwhelming responses received since the launch of the campaign. It's really a BIG encouragement for all of us in CUPEM and I am sure you can also feel the "Love" and "Support" that are out there, from people who you know and don't know of. I would like to wish you a speedy recovery and hope you'll be able to join our class gathering again very soon. You know, our gathering is not really the same when you're not around. I'll pray for you! P.S. Let's go meet our monkey and gorilla friends some times : ) 姓名 Name: Ann Ling 留言 Message:Winnie, I know you have been doing a very good job.

Winnie is one of my most important friends in my life since we knew each other in SHCC Form 1. We entered into HKU Bachelor of Arts together in September, 1998. Even though we have different majors, we still keep a good friendship between us. I was surprised that she tried to hide away from me when I called her a few times in 2001. After almost half a year, in Easter 2002, she finally confessed that she had breast cancer. It was a shock for me and for all the dear ones of Winnie. However, I find that I have discovered another side of Winnie since then. I can't imagine how she can go through all these with so much courage and faith. She used to be a soft spoken person in secondary school. Winnie, I really learn a lot from you. You are always like a hot bright sun that lighten up all the darkness, even in your most difficult times. I also learn a lot from all those who love you and people who support this campaign. I'm certainly touched by each one of the messages here and the good people who run this campaign for you. I think you all deserve great respect for your generosity! Also to my surprise, I found a lot of messages here from our previous principal, teachers and schoolmates in SHCC. We are all here to support you, Winnie! 姓名 Name: Myra 留言 Message:Winnie, You'll stay as our urban revitalization requires your input. The Creator bless. 姓名 Name: Viola Fan 留言 Message:Winnie, Never never give up. I have already asked my group in San Francisco and LA to help you. Eventhough we have only been in the same class for a short year at SHCC, I believe you can make through this. May God bless you and please let me know if I can further help. Praying for you across the Pacific. Love, Viola My contact is: [email protected]. 姓名 Name: Winnie Kwan 留言 Message:Hi Winnie, I am so surprised that we have exactly the same name. My name is Winnie Kwan too. I currently live in San Francisco, USA, but originally I come from HK. I studied in Precious Blood Primary School in Happy Valley before I immigrated to USA. I met Viola Fan half years ago, and we have become a good buddy to each other. Regards to your life story, all friends of Viola are trying to help as much as possible.

關 於 我 們 About us
Winnie Kwan was diagnosed with cancer in 2001. She regained her health in 2002 and completed her master degree with flying colours this year. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with metastasis of the cancer cells to her lung earlier this year and underwent a major operation in July. As she already had the strongest chemotherapy drug in the public hospital system last round, she now has to pay for the expensive oral chemotherapy drugs. Since the public hospital does not provide PET-scans for patients to monitor the effectiveness of the drug, Winnie Kwan has to patronize a private hospital. It is estimated that the total medical expenses for two years will amount to HK$200,000. Winnie needs help because her father, the only bread winner in the family, will retire soon.
Professor Peter Hills, Director of the Centre of Urban Planning and Environmental Management (CUPEM), came up with the idea of organizing a fund-raising campaign for Winnie. The organizing committee involves a group of classmates, teachers and friends who love Winnie and are concerned about Winnie’s pressing financial needs to meet her medical expenses. As a group of urban planning-related students and teachers, we also want to use the campaign to advocate about urban planning concepts that are dear to Winnie Kwan’s heart — urban revitalization, heritage conservation and sustainable development. These concepts also capture our best wishes for Winnie: that her body and soul can be conserved, revitalized and sustained. We sincerely hope that by being part of this campaign, you will be touched by Winnie’s life and her passion about urban planning. We invite you to accompany her in her courageous battle against cancer and walk with her towards revitalization, towards recovery.

Winnie Kwan Appeal We have now come to the end of our Appeal Campaign for Winnie. The Campaign has been a great success and I am very happy to say that we have collected more than $270,000 through donations and our on-line auction. The money that we have raised will certainly cover Winnie’s medical expenses in the next two years and means that she and her family will be spared the problem of worrying about meeting these costs. On behalf of everyone in the Centre I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you that have donated to the Appeal. We have been amazed by the response. It is good to know that there are so many caring and generous people within the University and in the wider community. Winnie’s situation has brought us all closer together. There are many people within the Centre who have worked very hard to support our fund raising for Winnie and I would personally like to thank of all them. I would also like to thank the University’s Finance and Enterprise Office for managing Winnie’s Appeal Fund Account for us and the E-Business Technology Institute for setting up an online donation website. Once again, a big “Thank You” to everyone that has contributed to Winnie’s Appeal Campaign. Winnie is a very courageous young woman and I cannot think of anyone who is more deserving of our support and generosity.
Professor Peter Hills Director 31 December 2004
「攜手助詠儀」籌款活動
「攜手助詠儀」籌款活動已圓滿結束。是此活動獲得空前的成功,我們已籌得超過二十
七萬元的捐款,足夠詠儀這兩年的醫療開支,以解決她和家人的燃眉之急。
我謹代表本中心各人感謝所有曾經作出捐獻的善長。這次活動讓我們感受到在大學及社
群中著實有很多善良和慷慨的人士,而大家也因著關愛詠儀的心而更加靠近。
我亦希望在此衷心感謝所有協助籌劃是次活動的工作人員,他們的心血沒有白費。還有
就是負責管理善款戶口的香港大學財政及企業事務處,及負責網上捐款的香港大學電子
商業科技研究所。沒有以上人士的幫助,相信詠儀的籌款活動不會如此成功。
最後,我再一次向所有的善長人翁說一聲「多謝」,感激你們所作出的慷慨捐獻。詠儀
是一個年輕勇敢的女孩,沒有人比她更值得我們的支持及幫助。
姚思 教授 香港大學城市規劃及環境管理研究中心 主任 二○○四年十二月三十一日
