Looking back on the extraordinary 70 years of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the HKBU Foundation (the Foundation) wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to all those partners who have journeyed alongside the University through its challenges and triumphs. Your generosity shines like warm beams of light, constantly illuminating each step made in HKBU’s growth and transformation.

In celebration of the University’s 70th anniversary, the Foundation is proud to present a series of donor stories that chronicle the profound bonds and significant contributions made by HKBU’s esteemed benefactors. The third story is dedicated to the Lui Ming Choi Foundation and the Lu family.

Guided by biblical truths, the Lui Ming Choi Foundation has long been committed to advancing holistic education — a mission that resonates strongly with HKBU’s Christian heritage and its dedication to whole-person education. In the 1970s, the Foundation’s substantial donations made possible the construction of the Christian Education Centre and the University Chapel (formerly known as the Academic Community Church), allowing Christian ministry to take deep root on campus.

Dr. Ronald Lu, grandson of the late Mr. Lui Ming Choi and a renowned architect, has also made pivotal contributions to the University’s development. In addition to leading fundraising initiatives, he has lent his professional expertise to the design of several major campus buildings. The Lu family’s enduring friendship and generosity are now part of the University’s very fabric, forever enshrined in its history.
