Sharing similar backgrounds in politics and law, we have gone beyond a mentoring relationship to friendship. Learning about his lawyer-politician life journey has inspired me a lot. He has once shared with us that, like most people think, he desired a straight-forward career as a lawyer but the appeal of democracy prompted him to contribute to bettering the political environment in Hong Kong. This reminds me that a meaningful career should not only benefit myself by earning a decent income, but should also benefit society by utilising my knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Leong is always generous to share his personal life and career with us. Despite being a prestigious figure in Hong Kong, he is particularly easy-going. When I ask questions regarding my future career, he is extremely kind to help.\u201d Yan, BSocSc(Govt&amp;Laws)&amp;LLB Year 3<\/p>\n<p>Mentor: Mr Alan Leong SC<br \/>\nMentees (2018-19): Marie Badoual and Yip Ysz Yan<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAlan is very kind and he is a good story teller.
