“奮前莫畏難” (Be courageous and fearless) is the Lingnan spirit I gained from my studies. This aligns with the liberal arts education, where “liberal” derives from the Latin “liber”, to equip students with the courage and ability to face any challenges and to liberate them from constraints.

The research-focused approach in Visual Studies encouraged us to pursue our passions, ask questions, and find our own answers. It also fostered an intimate environment where we could discuss and share ideas with each other and learn from classmates with diverse interests and perspectives. Service-learning courses not only offered the practical opportunity for us to apply what we had learned in the classroom, but also let us practice “education for service”. Thinking beyond the box, success in new pursuits depends on personal motivation, determination and perseverance. That is the most invaluable lesson I learned from Lingnan, and it has empowered me to pursue my professional career in the technology fields.

In the era of AI, I have come to realize that the true competition is not against the technology itself, but in our ability to harness it effectively. Regardless of your field of study, Lingnan will offer more than just occupational training - it instils in future Lingnanians the Lingnan spirit, the courage and adaptability to embrace new challenges.
