港大孫中山先生銅像揭幕典禮延續國父與港大逾百年情緣

香港大學李嘉誠醫學院很榮幸得到國父孫中山先生孫女、孫逸仙和平教育基金會主席孫穗芳博士惠贈孫中山先生銅像於醫學院校園內鍾江海會議中心長廊擺放，讓學生緬懷這位傑出的校友，也延續了孫先生和港大醫學院超逾一百年的情緣。醫學院特別於今日舉行簡單而隆重的銅像揭幕典禮，紀念孫中山先生再次「回歸」母校的重要一刻。

孫中山先生銅像揭幕典禮由孫穗芳博士、香港大學校務委員會主席梁智鴻醫生、香港大學副校長譚廣亨教授、香港大學李嘉誠醫學院院長李心平教授及香港大學醫學院校友會會長梁乃江教授主持。醫學院學生在典禮上向孫博士送上花束，以感謝她的饋贈。

一八八七年，孫中山先生入讀香港大學前身——香港西醫書院，並於一八九二年以優異成績畢業，成為香港西醫學院第一屆的畢業生。五年的習醫生涯，不但讓孫中山先生成為一個專業優秀的醫生，自由開放的環境更讓他深深感受到西方文明社會優於當時中國封建帝制之處，從而思考救國救民之路。終於，孫先生決定投身革命，並在一九一一年和一眾愛國之士合作成功推翻滿清政府，為現代中國的歷史寫下重要一頁。

孫中山先生與香港大學的緣分並不限於其求學階段。這位中國的偉人曾於一九廿三年春天應港大學生會之邀回到母校，在大禮堂（即現今陸祐堂）進行題為《革命思想的誕生》的演說。孫先生於演說開首便真情流露，親切地表達對港大的思念：「我心情有如歸家，因為香港與香港大學是我知識誕生之地。」隨即得到在座四百人報以熱烈掌聲。他又寄語港大學生要好好學習，將來以所學回饋社會及國家。

香港大學一直為這位傑出校友感到驕傲。香港大學於荷花池擺放孫中山先生的銅像，並將圖書館前空地命名為中山廣場，鼓勵學生學習其高尚情操。而醫學院校園亦有擺放有關孫中山先生的物品，包括孫中山先生的入學紀錄、試卷及成績表等，孫中山先生與同學的合照、曾用過的字典副本也於醫學圖書館展出。

這次港大得到孫中山先生孫女孫穗芳博士捐出銅像，孫先生再次「回到」校園，可算是延續了港大和孫先生的百年情緣，意義非凡。香港大學李嘉誠醫學院院長李心平教授感謝孫穗芳博士送贈銅像。他表示，醫學院一向強調專業知識的培訓，也著重教育學生要對社會做出承擔。孫中山先生為人民追求幸福的精神正好為醫學院師生樹立榜樣，提醒醫學院上下除了要專醫重學、發揮專業精神外，亦需關愛社會，為國家的持續發展作出貢獻。

Unveiling of the Statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen at HKU Strengthens the Centenary Connection between the Father of the Nation and the University

With the generous donation of a statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen from his granddaughter Dr. Lily Sun Sui-fong, President of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Foundation for Peace and Education, the Father of the Nation once again set his footprints in The University of Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, where he studied and received the professional qualification as a doctor over a hundred years ago. The Statute is placed at the Foyer of Cheung Kung Hai onference Centre at the medical campus of HKU. To thank Dr. Lily Sun for her staunch support and mark this memorable occasion, an unveiling ceremony for the statue was held at the Faculty today (Dec. 20, 2010).

Dr. Lily Sun Sui-fong, President of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Foundation for Peace and Education; Dr. Leong Che-hung, Council Chairman of HKU;Professor Paul Tam, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of HKU; Professor Lee Sumping,Dean, The University of Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine;and Professor Leung Nai-kong, President, HKU Medical Alumni Association officiated at the unveiling ceremony. Medical students presented a flower bouquet to Dr. Lily Sun in appreciation of her generous donation.

In 1887, Dr. Sun Yat-sen started to study at the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, the predecessor of the HKU medical faculty. In 1892, Dr. Sun completed the medical course with distinguished results and became the first batch of graduates of the college. During his five-year study at the college, Dr. Sun not only turned into a professional medical doctor, but also got exposure to the ideals of British liberty and freedom. These prevailing values nurtured his revolutionary ideas to change the nation and save the miserable people in his motherland. Helater decided to launch the revolutionary movement. In 1911, with the continuous efforts of Dr. Sun and his fellows, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown,which marked the milestone in the history of modern China.

The bondage of Dr. Sun and HKU never ceased upon his graduation.Invited by the HKU Students’ Union, Dr. Sun came back to the university and gave an address titled “Why I Became a Revolutionist?” at the Great Hall (present-day Loke Yew Hall) in 1923. At the beginning of the address, Dr. Sun sincerely expressed his feelings towards the university,“I felt as though I had returned home, because Hong Kong and this university were my intellectual birthplace.” This earned him loud applause from the audience. At the end of his address, Dr. Sun reminded the HKU
students to “learn the English examples of good government and carry them to every part of China.”

In commemoration of the outstanding alumnus and with great pride, HKU had erected statues of Dr. Sun at the University’s Lily Pond and named the area in front of the Main Library as “Sun Yat-sen Place”.Artifacts related to Dr. Sun’s life in the college are also displayed at the medical campus and the medical library, which include the replicas of his admission record, answer sheets, examination results, photos of Dr. Sun and his classmates as well as the copy of the medical dictionary that Dr.Sun used.

Dr. Lily Sun’s donation symbolized the “return” of Dr. Sun Yat-sen to HKU, strengthening the close ties between the great man and the university established over a century ago. Professor Lee Sum-ping, Dean of The University of Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, thanked Dr. Lily Sun for the donation. He said that Dr. Sun had set an excellent example for the staff and students that they should always excel in the endeavors and contribute to the community and the nation, like the forerunner did.
