#HKU Denies Contract Renewal for Renowned & Outspoken Hepatologist
At the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the Faculty of Medicine's Professor of Medicine and Hepatology, Lai Ching-lung, rejected from renewing his contract.
This decision of the University management will possibly lead to the departure of Lai as early as in June 2021.
It was reported that the HKU's Faculty of Medicine had already recommended Lai to have his contract renewed, but the recommendation was not taken by the University Selection and Promotion Committee.
The 72 year-old professor is socially conscious, and had participated in a sit-in during the 2019 anti-ELAB movement wearing a black mask, holding a slogan condemning the police for "obscuring the truth".
In 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, Lai also appeared at the rally for healthcare professionals fighting to lock Hong Kong's borders with China.

Frankie Fung, Privileged Youth Turned Activist: "It will be okay even if I don’t get to see the liberation of Hong Kong”
Frankie Fung Tat-chun is one of the 47 members of the pro-democracy camp who were charged with conspiracy to commit subversion. The day before they reported to the police station, Fung was interviewed by In-Media.
Fung has lived a more privileged lifestyle than many, yet he said he has no regrets about running in the primary election for the Legislative Council. “We might not be able to see the liberation of Hong Kong. And I don’t think I will need to see it, as long as I can help pave the road for those behind me. I think I will regret it more if I haven’t done it.”
He wanted to thank his mother the most, “I’m sorry I have let you down.” Fung teared up as he thanks his family for their unconditional support even though they are not too happy with what he is doing. “I know I am selfish and I really am a bad son, but I am still so grateful for my mom.”
