The publication of this festschrift and the success of the launch serve not only as a fond retrospective of Professor Wong’s distinguished academic career, but also as a lasting testament to his extraordinary erudition, intellectual generosity, and unwavering dedication to the field. His scholarship, mentorship, and gracious spirit will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations of scholars.

I also had a taste of "expect the unexpected" which I had heard of in lessons. We're trained to use professional equipment in SI booths, but we may not even have a booth in real life. It's also common that the speakers don't follow their scripts, but it's most important to remain professional and do our best under any circumstances, even when the speaker starts singing in Hakka.

All in all, the SI student intern experience is not only a way of putting classroom knowledge into practice, but also a very unique part of my university life as a translation major student.

If you think your life lacks some excitement, take on interpreting tasks, and you may encounter unexpected adventures.

In the past year, the university and the department gave me many opportunities to gain hands-on experience in simultaneous interpreting, including meetings and conferences—Council meetings, Senate meetings, communication sessions, as well as various activities—movie screenings, indoor and outdoor forums.

I have been to an isolated island and conducted SI by holding a walkie-talkie and sitting on plastic stools. Although it seems a bit primitive, it is an SI job with the most fun. While on the island, I took a stroll through the indigenous village and learned about their history.

I have also helped at the Council meeting, where they gave you a stack of 5-cm-thick documents and one precious hour for preparation. Then, they discuss topics that I haven’t the faintest idea. All I could do was grasp what I could understand and use what I had learned to deliver results. After this SI job, I told myself there's nothing I can't handle.

They say nothing's new under the sun, but there's always something new in each SI job. That being said, don't be discouraged by the uncertainties. Just say yes to an opportunity and prepare with what you learned. Take the surprises as souvenirs and equip yourself with the experience you gained.

Teaching is very much a two-way street, and I have learnt so much from my students, whose diverse and insightful perspectives constantly illuminated my own blind spots. I am truly humbled to work alongside such inspiring colleagues and inquisitive students at CUHK Translation.

What a privilege to receive the Faculty of Arts Exemplary Teaching Award for 2025! It has been a joy to teach courses across translation theory, comparative linguistics, and practical translation workshop. I’m thrilled that my students found theoretical and linguistic knowledge not only useful for their translation practice, but perhaps even a little fun. As we navigate the GenAI era, I hope the knowledge we explored together will continue to hone their critical reading and evaluation skills.
