Welcome to WYKAAO
We would like to dedicate the following song to mothers who make it possible for wahyanites to enjoy their formative years at WYK.
生我育我媽媽好 為我操心太辛苦
常在母親手中抱 媽媽辛勞
千句萬句媽媽好 待我深恩似天高
常為母親添苦惱 親恩怎樣報
(曲: 蔡振南 詞: 鄭國江 唱: JoJo 編曲: 楊嘉豪)

Since 1950, Psychology, branded as imperialistic, has been banned in China. In 1981, a professor of the University of Toronto speaks to an audience in Shanghai on the recent development of Psychology in the West. He believes, “If China was to meet the world, her decision makers must … approach the world as it is, a multi-dimensional constellation.”

Desmond Wong, R.I.P.
We received the following sad news from Ho Nim Cho, “I was struck with extreme grief when my brother-in-law in Honolulu told me that Desmond Wong, one of our beloved classmates of 1957 Wah Yan College Kowloon, who gave us an impressive talk and demonstration last year (2009.07.18) in Toronto during the 1957 past students reunion, passed away suddenly at his home in Hawaii on the 4th of this month. No further information on this sad news was available, except that the funeral rites would not be arranged till June.”
Our sincerest condolences go to his family.
Chok and Chung Yu brothers write about Desmond.......

This article begins with the formative years of the author. It was a time of turbulent events that many alumni in the 50’s had gone through. With this background, students entered Wah Yan to receive the Jesuit education that would impact their future.
The article goes on to describe the author’s experience at Wah Yan Kowloon. We will read about Fr. Burke, Fr. Toner, Fr. Morahan, Fr. L. Egan and Fr. Moran. There are also mentions of Mr. Lim Hoy Lan, Mr. Ching Hing Chow, Mr. Pun Yau Pang and Mr Ma Yuk Lun.
The author tries to answer “What are the marks of a good education?” at the end.
