Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) recently received a generous donation of HK$3 million from Mr. Cheng Chak Kuen, Chairman of Dongguan Xingye Trade Development Company Limited, to support its Extended Study Programme in the Greater Bay Area. This programme enables students from HKBU and Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University to study across campuses, undertake internships at leading enterprises, and engage in diverse experiential activities, thereby broadening their horizons and preparing them for their future careers.

A self-made entrepreneur with a passion for philanthropy, Mr. Cheng is devoted to promoting national development and Chinese traditional culture. As Honorary University Fellow of HKBU and Honorary Permanent President of the HKBU Foundation, his longstanding support has propelled the University’s strategic development and expanded opportunities for students. Through his immense contributions to initiatives such as the Chinese Medicine Clinical Research Fund, the Emergency Financial Relief Fund, and various scholarships and bursaries, Mr. Cheng has consistently uplifted both HKBU students and the wider community.
