New meaning of life revealed on the road

A University of Hong Kong student has changed his outlook on life after a fund-raising cycling trip.儲存 The epic journey from June to October by Issac Cheng Pui-hei and his friend, Jan Choi Ming-fai, took them to Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet, Nepal and India. Cheng, 23, a business administration student, said they raised funds for children under the InspiringHK Sports Foundation. The campaign aims to realize HK$40,000, which will enable 40 underprivileged teenagers to receive dancing and running classes for a year. Cheng said if they manage to raise HK$80,000, they will form a women's soccer team. He said he was impressed by the warm hospitality of villagers in Tibet and India - contrary to public perception of the two p迷你倉aces. ``People in Hong Kong are all living for benefits and money, but they have forgotten the true meaning in life - that is simple happiness and peace of mind. I found them from people in Tibet and India,'' said Cheng, adding that life is so different where there are strong religious beliefs. He recalled a Tibetan who made a wish, hoping everyone could return home one day. Coming from a grassroots family in Sheung Shui, Cheng is now determined to take a different life path. ``When people are looking at making more money, I realized it is not the way I want to go. The trip enabled me to feel again the simplicity of childhood,'' Cheng said. He wants to open a cafe where people may share their experiences in life. BEATRICE SIU self storage
