While watching the latest RTHK 傑 出 華 人 系 列 on Dr. Lap-Chee Tsui (in Cantonese), I can’t help but look back in an 1989 Footprint Interview of Dr. Tsui (included here for your reading pleasure, click to zoom to large pix to read).
In 1989, I was the editorial director of Footprint (a Chinese student newspaper at U of Toronto), Cliff was assistant director, and Philip was the Editor-in-chief and we together with a group of many volunteers worked on Footprint together. Looking at the slightly yellowed 1989 newsprint certainly brings back some nice memories of the old days. We worked so hard to get the papers out.
Coming back to now, Dr. Tsui is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong and I only realized now his strategically important involvement in the hunt for the SARS coronavirus.
P.S. I forgot whose idea was it, but I am particularly proud of the result that during my term as editorial director, we have an interesting interview in almost every single issue. For example, the newspaper also interviewed Robert Prichard (former UT president and current President and CEO of Torstar) and Prof. Steven N. S. Cheung.
