Alumnus Cyrus CHAN: Extend Kindness to Others and Care for Everyone

In 2026, coinciding with Shue Yan University's 55th anniversary, alumnus Cyrus CHAN stated in an interview with the Shue Yan Newsletter that the Chinese character for '仁' (benevolence) is composed of the radical for '人' (person) and the number '二' (two). This signifies the proper relationship between two people, emphasising perspective-taking and empathy. This embodies 'extending kindness to others' (推己及人), which is a form of benevolence that focuses on passing on messages of love between individuals.
