Alumni Sharing Session– “The Way of the Director” with Mr Cheang Pou Soi

On 26 April 2025, St. Francis Xavier’s College was honoured to welcome back our distinguished alumnus, Mr Cheang Pou Soi (鄭保瑞), an acclaimed film director.
In a special Alumni Sharing Session titled “The Way of the Director”, Mr Cheang spoke candidly to current students about his journey in the world of acting and filmmaking. He reflected on the challenges he faced, the choices he made, and the values that have guided him throughout his career. One of the most moving elements of his talk was his emphasis on the importance of brotherhood, perseverance, and the deep sense of belonging he continues to feel as a member of the SFXC family.
As a token of appreciation and admiration, Mr Wayne Lau (Class of 1990), Chairman of the SFXC Alumni Association and a classmate of Mr Cheang, presented him with a meaningful gift — a painting he created himself. The artwork incorporates words of wisdom from the Laughing Buddha, praising Mr Cheang’s determination and persistence, which have led to the remarkable success he enjoys today.
