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 story of this issue is dedicated to the late Mr. and Mrs. Lau Chor Tak.

Mr. Lau Chor Tak, a dedicated philanthropist and devout Christian, and his wife, Mrs. Lau Chan So Har, were among the University’s earliest supporters, extending their generosity since its founding years in 1955. Over the decades, their unwavering support has bolstered HKBU’s holistic development. In 2011, the couple donated an apartment to HKBU for hosting world-class scholars. Their profound care and affection have left an indelible mark on the University community. This spirit of exemplary giving will forever be cherished and remembered in the annals of HKBU’s history.
