I was just an ordinary student by then but Dr Huang truly Impressed me as a great fatherly leader with outstanding music talents. He was just so friendly and approachable that I enjoyed meeting him in the campus or simply listening to his speeches. Now that I have worked in the School Advancement field, I began to genuinely appreciate what Dr Huang has contributed to HKU -- his vision to prosper higher education in HK and beyond and his leadership & dedication to make this happen. Salute, Dr Huang!

Memories fade with time, but my closest encounter with Dr Huang was when he played violin solo, with the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra, in the Loke Yew Hall. Another teacher, Dr John Lawton, was in the violin section as well. They played a fantasia on HK TV themes. The Vice Chancellor, such a distant figure, came into close proximity with students and staff. It was a heart warming moment. Rest in peace, our beloved Vice Chancellor.

Professor Huang, may you rest in peace. You were a true servant of the people, a leader. May your spirit prevail in Hong Kong U. And Cicero said so that we, the people, may be mindful of false leaders: ‘His [Caesar] character was an amalgamation of genius, method, memory, culture, thoroughness, intellect, and industry. […]. By entertainments, public works, food-distributions, and banquets, he seduced the ignorant populace; his friends he bound to his allegiance by rewarding them, his enemies by what looked like mercy. By a mixture of intimidation and indulgence, he calculated in a free community the habit of servitude. Your ambition to reign, Anthony, certainly deserves to be compared with Caesar’s. But in no single other respect are you entitled to the same comparison. For the many evils which Caesar inflicted upon our country have at least yielded certain benefits. To take a single example, the people [of Rome] have now discovered what degrees of confidence they can repose in this or that person. They have discovered who are fit to be entrusted with their fortunes, and who, on the other hand, need to be shunned […] ‘Second Philippic Against Mark Anthony’ p. 91 ‘An Attack on an Enemy of Freedom’, translated by Michael Grant (2005).

Did not meet with you, but miss you. Did not talk to you, but respect you. Did not walk with you, but my heart is full of sorrow. With your light, we love you, deeply!
