Laidlaw Scholar, HKU

About XU NGAI SUI

I’m a Year 1 MBBS student at the University of Hong Kong, deeply passionate about making a positive impact through both medicine and community service. I strive to give my best in everything I do, whether in my academic journey or in serving others. With a strong foundation in public speaking and debate, I’ve been fortunate to receive several awards that reflect my love for clear and empathetic communication.

Beyond academics, I’m currently the project leader of the We Children Care Team at HKUMed. Our team is dedicated to promoting mental health awareness among secondary school students and equipping them with essential mental health first aid knowledge. This role has been a meaningful way for me to empower young people and advocate for mental well-being in the community.

Social service has always been close to my heart. I’ve volunteered in hospitals, participated in flag selling, visited elderly individuals living alone, and contributed to various charity fundraising efforts. I find joy and purpose in building connections and giving back, whether through small gestures or larger initiatives.

In secondary school, I served as the head of both the Peer Counsellor Team and the Student Ambassador Team, where I developed leadership skills and a sense of responsibility toward those around me. These experiences strengthened my belief in the power of youth to lead change with compassion and courage.

Outside of service and studies, I’m an animal lover who shares my home with a cat, a hamster, and a parrot. I also cherish time in nature—whether it's a quiet walk near home or a breezy day at the beach. These moments remind me of the beauty and harmony we can find in the world, and why it's worth protecting and improving.

I aspire to become a safe, competent, and compassionate surgeon, someone who heals not just with hands but with heart. Guided by the motto “Life influences life,” I’m committed to spreading kindness and uplifting others in every way I can. With boundless enthusiasm and a sense of duty, I aim to help build a better, healthier world—for individuals, communities, and generations to come.

As a Laidlaw Scholar, I hope to grow as a leader and change-maker, using both knowledge and empathy to serve with purpose and integrity.
