3rd November 2026 – (Hong Kong) Ho Fung College (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen) today posted a memorial tribute to gastroenterology and hepatology specialist Dr Cheung Sai-wah after news of his death, praising a lifetime of affection for his old school and a spirit of taking from society and giving back.
The college said Dr Cheung had for years given generously to its scholarship funds, supporting younger students and easing the burden on those who received help. His enthusiasm and good works, the tribute added, had not only assisted beneficiaries but set a high personal example for teachers and pupils across the school. Online messages from former patients have likewise marked his passing; one shared a photograph of calligraphy reading “wellness” that had been given to him years earlier, saying the image now carried a special weight.
Dr Cheung practised as a specialist in gastroenterology and hepatology and often gave interviews for online platforms and charities. As a medical adviser to the charity Doctors with Heart he wrote publicly on alcohol intolerance and related health advice, translating specialist topics into language patients and families could follow.
He was a graduate of Ho Fung College. In a January interview with the school he recalled formative years there, saying extracurricular activities had taught him perseverance, spurred his academic drive and helped him set study goals. He later took the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, graduating in 2006, and held a Diploma in Child Health from the University of Sydney.
For an alma mater that still presents him as a model of character as well as a donor, today’s tribute framed scholarships and mentorship as the lasting mark of a doctor who stayed tied to the classroom that shaped him. The school did not set out a medical cause in its public note; instead it stressed gratitude, example and the quiet help his funds gave successive cohorts of pupils who might otherwise have struggled to stay the course.
