In this rainy spring, students from Muse College headed for Shatin, Hong Kong, developing friendship with students from Wu Yee Sun College by initiating a long-anticipated badminton friendly match, which, as Professor Rance P.L. Lee, dean of Wu Yee Sun College, put it, was a historic moment for both two colleges.

Led by teachers, students from Muse College arrived at The Chinese University of Hong Kong around 10 o’ clock, a.m. Attracted by the similar design of the school gate as well as the same style of writing attached to it, students felt a sense of homecoming.
