Stories of Love, a unique event organised by A&SS on 18 September 2022, was the first-ever university-wide culture and performing arts show presented on campus. This marks the beginning of a new tradition for the University.
In a joyful celebration of love, hope and diversity, Stories of Love brought together nearly 30 students from different Schools through theatre (performed in English and in Chinese), as well as music and dance ranging from traditional Chinese style to K-pop. At the end, students showed their affection for the University by singing together their new Student Anthem, “We Are All HKMU”, with lyrics written by Professor Octavian Saiu and music composed by Ms Mallari Joanalene Asuncion (HKMU student) and Mr Hanz David Kong (a student of The Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts). The Anthem conveys the inspiring message, “It's me, it's her, it's him, it's you / And we are all HKMU!”. It echoes the symbols “M” and “U”, which represent the connection between the University, its students and society at large.
The show fully showcased the students' talents, as it offered them an invaluable opportunity to express themselves – individually and together – through the miracle of live performance. It attracted over 300 spectators for an enjoyable and truly memorable evening.
