The University of Hong Kong is grateful to the Philip K.H. Wong Foundation (黃乾亨基金) for a HK$100 million donation to support the Faculty of Law and university developments.  In recognition of the generous support of the Foundation and the Wong family throughout the years, the Faculty of Law’s Centre for Chinese Law will be named the “Philip KH Wong Centre for Chinese Law (黃乾亨中國法研究中心)”, and a 300-seat lecture theatre the “Philip KH Wong Theatre (黃乾亨講堂)”.
Dr Philip K.H. Wong 黃乾亨博士 (1932-2020) is fondly remembered as an architect of HKU’s traditions.  He was an exemplary alumnus and had been a long-term benefactor to various initiatives of the University for three decades.  Dr Wong was instrumental in establishing the HKU Foundation for Educational Development and Research (香港大學教研發展基金) in 1995 and was its Chairman in 2003 for a decade.  An ardent believer in education, he endowed three Professorships and numerous scholarships at his alma mater.  Revered as a distinguished member of the legal profession, he received a Bachelor of Arts in 1955 and an HonLLD in 1996 from HKU.
