Thank You Address by Mr So Wa-wai

Mr Council Chairman, Mr President, distinguished guests:

Thank you very much for inviting me to deliver this address on behalf of the Honorary Fellows.

I had not been in the spotlight since I retired in 2016 due to my back injury. However, the film about the story of my mother and me, as well as the fervour surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, have refreshed people’s memory of my past performance on the track.

I have never thought of myself becoming a coach or a teacher. And so, I am delighted to join the family of The Education University of Hong Kong in another capacity.
