About me!
Wai Chung Cheung×
I am Cheung Wai Chung, a second-year student in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Hong Kong, majoring in Chinese history and history. Having been an awardee of the Hong Kong Young Historian since the year 2019, I aspire to promote the importance of history to people from all walks of life in interactive and fascinating ways. The political history and legal history of China are of my particular interests. For instance, I conducted preliminary research on the history of adultery crimes and legal assistants in the Qing Dynasty during last semester and realized that individuals, other than some ‘great’ historical figures, also played an important role in historical developments. Furthermore, the interrelationship between politics, the legal system, and culture is worth discussing because it has affected our daily life in all dimensions. As a result, I suggest that political and legal history is important at all times. I believe that past and future are closely associated in different aspects. History witnesses the trend of growth, decline, and recession of humanities in all ages. That is why tracing the historical origins of various countries is epochal to understand contemporary complex, interdependent, and multi-polar international communities. In the foreseeable future, I look forward to contributing more to history studies in Hong Kong’s educational circle.
