九龍華仁書院，將會今年舉辦建校一百週年校慶活動，我諗到時一定好熱鬧，好高興，我自己唔能夠參加，但喺呢喥獻上多少資料.

我在臉書見到幾張九華照片，特別有一張係九華喺旺角嘅舊校校舍，後來改做德仁書院。

嗰座就係我進入九華時嘅校舍。本來我想借相用，但唔知邊個係物主，冇辦法去打個招呼借用，所以冇相！

舊九華校舍建築物喺旺角兩條街交界之處：通菜街與乃路臣街。

正門望出，向住外面，右邊係通菜街，今日變成「女人街」，擺滿各式各樣女士及其他用品嘅攤檔，我都去過買嘢。

當日冇呢啲攤檔，但係早晨有好多苦力，等待僱主嚟招請臨時散工，雖然人多，但秩序聲響還好，不致騷擾我哋學生上課！

校舍右邊係乃路臣街，如果喺彌敦道巴士站落車，通往德明中學，諸聖堂中學等，學生要靠乃路臣街！

中午時份有不少女中學生經過嗰條街返學，我哋一班頑皮仔，就企喺二三樓騎樓，大聲吹口哨表示欣賞，呢女仔當然唔啋我哋，我都學識，將手指屈曲放入口中，吹得好响，過癮！

學校冇運動場，麥花臣球場係唯一運動場，其實係沙地一塊，人頭湧湧，無數人一齊踼波.

聯想起有一件小事：我記得40年代尾九華恢復教授學生，有夜校，我家中比較年長兄姊，夜晚參加英文班，有一晩我跟去，當然不知所謂，但係記得有一位老師到課室，對學生話學校需要枱椅，接受捐贈！

Hong Kong’s new Catholic bishop pledges to unify divided city and start healing process among young

Bishop-elect Stephen Chow Sau-yan has pledged to unify Hong Kong’s politically divided Roman Catholic community, while nurturing empathy and helping the city’s youth to heal from past trauma.

His long-delayed appointment was announced by the Holy See on Monday after the post was left vacant for more than two years, at a time when the city’s political and religious freedoms were being tested by the civil unrest in 2019 and Beijing’s imposition of a sweeping national security law last June. <Read the whole article>

小桃紅 從回華仁中學 李勝生 ’66

應華仁書院校長之邀，重回校園參加紀念湯維強獎學金頒發禮。重臨舊地，樓臺依舊，往事矇矓，當年一羣熱血少年，雄心壯志，陽光夢境。而今日薄桑榆，舊遊消逝，壯氣蒿萊。豈不是「世事漫隨流水，算來夢裡人生」？

小桃紅 從回華仁中學

園林依樣綠油油，
昔日音容扣。
五十三年去如驟，
塵海沉浮。
雄心壯志原難就。
芳華舊遊，
桑榆白首。
滿目晚涼秋。

Fr. Hurley’s Social Services Group of the HK Federation of Post-Secondary Catholic Students – Vincent Lee ’65

I was looking through the links I found about Fr. Hurley……, in between doing other things…… and got to the bottom one.

Lo an behold, when I went to minute 1.52 (of 6.49) I found a photos of the Social Services Group of the HK Federation of Post-Secondary Catholic Students — Linda and I are both here.  I still have a copy of the somewhat faded original; taken at WYK outside the corridor after or meeting (inaugural meeting?), 1966 (54 years ago).  Below that picture, and may be the top one in the next frame, is a shot of us visiting the orphanage (in Fangling I think) in which Tony Ng also participated.  This is priceless to me. What a treasure and surprise!  Other than Linda, I am still in loose contact with two other Group members.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiq_VNwp3gw
