We are deeply grateful for the love and support we have received during this difficult time. As a devoted family member, he inspired us every day with his wisdom, kindness, and staunch commitment to making a difference. A man of peace and a true Renaissance man, he shone as a cultural bridge builder and humanitarian in his lifelong mission of raising understanding, awareness, and education. We will always remember him and strive to carry forward his innovation, determination and can-do spirit. We are confident that his legacy as founding president of HKUST and the first Chinese-American president of a major US university, the storied San Francisco State University, will continue to impact generations around us, especially within the two cities he long regarded as home: Hong Kong and San Francisco.
