Tucked away in a corner of the Wan Chai Market lies a hidden French bistro. The owner, Tiff Lo, was once a Cambridge-educated banking analyst, but after discovering a vascular tumor in her brain, she resolved to pursue her true passion. She boldly resigned from her corporate career and traveled to the UK to study at Le Cordon Bleu, starting from the very bottom—peeling potatoes in a three-Michelin-starred kitchen—without ever backing down. Armed with ten years of rigorous culinary experience, she defied economic headwinds to open her own restaurant, bringing the rustic charm of a small French town right into the heart of a bustling local market. Today, she amazes diners' palates with honest, unpretentious dishes—such as her signature hand-cut fries and classic deviled eggs—proving that exceptional gastronomy can thrive in the most unexpected places.

The life of Dr. Henry Hu Hung Lick is a perfect embodiment of scholarship, moral integrity, and profound compassion. In his early years, he traveled to Paris and the United Kingdom, earning his Doctorate in Law and qualifying as a barrister respectively. He subsequently practiced in Hong Kong, earning immense respect within the legal profession. During the 1960s and 1970s, he actively campaigned for the legal status of the Chinese language and championed nine-year free education, opening up more equitable opportunities for society. In their fifties, he and his wife, Dr. Chung Chi Yung, resolutely relinquished their fame and fortune, dedicating the vast majority of their life savings and 35 years of their lives to establish Hong Kong's first private university—Hong Kong Shue Yan University. Their steadfast dedication to providing educational opportunities for young people has created a legacy of nurturing talent that spans over half a century. From humble beginnings in a modest three-storey house in Happy Valley to today’s fully-fledged Braemar Hill campus, this journey testifies not only to the rise of a university, but also serves as a portrait of an educator's lifelong perseverance—safeguarding the pure conviction of "serving the nation through education" amidst a bustling metropolis. Featuring Interviews with Dr. Hu Fai Chung (Son of Dr. Henry Hu Hung Lick; President, Hong Kong Shue Yan University) Professor Catherine Sun Tien Lun (Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Shue Yan University) Dr. Kaman Lee Ka Man (Associate Vice President and Alumna, Hong Kong Shue Yan University) Dr. Francis Cheung (Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors and Alumnus, Hong Kong Shue Yan University)

In a landscape where public and non-public economic sectors coexist, how does the state ensure joint development and shared prosperity? Articles 6 and 11 of the Constitution state that the country takes socialist public ownership as the foundation, while at the same time encouraging diverse forms of ownership, such as individually owned and private businesses, to develop together, so as to promote the sound operation of the socialist market economy. This episode explores how, under the safeguard of the Constitution, private enterprises fulfil their social responsibility and contribute to the nation in the context of a capitalist market, embodying the strength of coordinated economic development.
