Lin Dahui Middle School opens “Liu Muchang Classroom” and Hangzhou Asian Games award-winning alumni receive RMB 2.78 million

Hong Kong athletes have achieved great results at the Hangzhou Asian Games earlier. Among them, the medal winners of 2 gold, 2 silver and 7 bronze medals were from alumni of Lam Tai Fai Secondary School. The “Lam Tai Fai Charitable Foundation Outstanding Athletes Award Scheme” today awarded a total of more than 2.78 million in prize money to a group of athletes. Hong Kong rowing gold medalists Lin Xindong and Wang Weijun were awarded RMB 1 million. Zhang Jialang, who won the men’s fencing individual competition, also received RMB 500,000. Hong Kong cycling star Li Siying received more than RMB 560,000 with three medals.

On the same day, the naming ceremony of “Liu Muchang Classroom” was also held. Grace, who won the bronze medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games and then won the silver medal at the World Championships, became the fourth Hong Kong person to “win” her own class after world cycling champion Guo Haoting, Hong Kong table tennis players Huang Zhenting and Zhang Jialang. Will. Talking about this class room, Grace revealed that she had actually approached the school supervisor Lin Dahui before the Tokyo Olympics: “At that time, I won the bronze medal at the World Championships, so I asked the school supervisor when it would be my turn. He replied that he would give me the class after I won the medal in the Olympics. So after I won the medal in the Olympics, I thought I could finally have my own class room!”

Grace continued that after the Tokyo Olympics, she had learned that the school would name the class room after her. However, since she has been training overseas, she has only now had the opportunity to return to Hong Kong to hold the naming ceremony. She felt honored: “I feel so special, studying here. I never thought that because of my good grades, I would be able to have a class room named after you. It’s such an honor.” Grace didn’t know the specific location of the classroom before and joked: “If it were named after my class room in Form 5, Just ‘Big Wok’, because it has to go up seven floors!” But in the end the school was named after the classroom on the fifth floor, next to “Guo Haoting Classroom” and “Huang Zhenting Classroom”.

Summarizing this year’s success, Grace said that she had been working hard and preparing hard, and when she finally achieved satisfactory results, she felt that her efforts were rewarded. Since there will be no World Championships next year, Grace’s goal will be to strive to become the “Grand Winner” with the highest total points in each K1 Super League station, and to compete for medals in the Asian Championships. Earlier, she lost to Japan’s “World No. 1” rival Hikaru Ohno in the final of the World Championships. Grace said: “I feel like we are getting closer and closer to her every time we compete. At the World Championships, everyone said that we played our best and there was always someone else in the competition.” Some people win, some lose, but everyone performs well enough to live up to themselves.”
