<\/a><\/p>\nPeople with disabilities, apart from facing discrimination by some in the society, struggle to go beyond their own psychological barriers. The recipient of Sir Edward Youde Memorial Scholarship for Disabled Students in 2006\/07, Hong Kong wheelchair fencing athlete, Ms. Yu Chui Yee, was not discouraged by her physical limitations, but instead was motivated to become a world-class player with her spirit of never giving up.<\/p>\n
Ms. Yu was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 11, and afterwards had undergone multiple chemotherapy and bone replacement surgeries. An accidental bone fracture during an exercise after the replacement of the bone caused her to undergo another operation to consolidate the bone. She had to wash her wounds and have her legs in a cast as the wounds remained unrecovered for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, the condition worsened and she had to resort to an amputation. Becoming a physically disabled person means that she needed to learn how to use the artificial limbs, and how to adapt to the uncomfortable stares from strangers. After the amputation, Ms. Yu has joined the Hong Kong Paralympic Committee and Sports Association for the Physically Disabled. She joined the swimming team at first, but some friends she met there encouraged her to take part in fencing, which started her profession as a wheelchair fencer.
\nMs. Yu made her first Hong Kong debut in 2001, and since then she has been aiming to participate in the Paralympic Games. She undertook her bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees while training as a full-time athlete at the Hong Kong Sports Institute (\u201cHKSI\u201d). She set foot on the highest podium for the first time in 2004, and obtained 7 golds, 3 silvers and 1 bronze in the subsequent Paralympic Games. She has accumulated the greatest number of gold medals in the history of the Hong Kong Paralympic Games. Throughout all the Paralympic Games she had participated in, the most memorable one to Ms. Yu is the 2012 Paralympic Games. A few Paralympics volunteers happened to come to Ms. Yu\u2019s room to clean. To thank the volunteers for their dedication, Ms. Yu gave them some pins of the Hong Kong team and let them touch her medals. The next day, the volunteers wrote Ms. Yu a letter of thanks for sharing the joy of winning medals with them. As an athlete, there is no doubt that winning is exciting, but bringing the joy of sports competition to others is even more precious. To make the occasion even more special, Ms. Yu\u2019s parents physically attended that year\u2019s Paralympic Games. Ms. Yu presented her mother with the victory bouquet after winning the gold medal in the stadium. When her mother was leaving on the subway, a woman in the same car told other passengers that this woman\u2019s daughter had just won a gold medal, winning the applause from all passengers in the car. This memory is of great significance to Ms. Yu\u2019s mother. From worrying about life after amputation more than ten years ago, to winning a gold medal in the Paralympic Games and becoming mother\u2019s pride, it was a difficult yet fulfilling journey for Ms. Yu.
\nHaving a keen interest in Geography, Ms. Yu further her undergraduate study in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for her undergraduate degree. After the completion of the degree, she studied for a Master\u2019s degree of Science (Sports science and physical activity) at CUHK, as she was keen to have a holistic understanding of the operation of the entire sports industry and plan for her future career, instead of merely focusing on the competitions. This also paved her way to develop her own fencing academy and actively promote the sport.
\nLooking forward, Ms. Yu will devote more time to promoting fencing. On one hand, she hoped that the fencing academy can serve as a platform to those who aspire to develop their fencing career, such as recruiting retired athletes to become coaches, and pass on their skills and experiences to the next generation. On the other hand, as fencing is a costly sport, she hoped that underprivileged students could be exposed to fencing, by offering them free courses in collaboration with NGOs and schools. Apart from sporting, Ms. Yu was also appointed as a committee member of the Education Committee of the International Paralympic Committee. Besides, she is also a committee member of some sports committees of the HKSAR and the Elderly Commission, striving to bring different perspectives into the policy-making process and promote equality and equity as a physically disabled, woman, and an athlete.<\/p>\n
Ms. Yu received her Sir Edward Youde Memorial Scholarship for disabled students during her Bachelor\u2019s degree. Her efforts were recognised by the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund Council, encouraging disabled students to explore their own interest and develop their potential. The Sir Edward Youde Memorial Scholarship stands out as one of the few scholarships supporting disable students. As one of the beneficiaries, she hopes to give back to the Fund Council and benefit more students.<\/p>\n
From being diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 11 to being amputated, Ms. Yu admitted in all honesty that although her body is mutilated, it is the most important to accept oneself. Ms. Yu\u2019s achievement in fencing told us a touching story of how one realises one\u2019s potential despite limitations.<\/p>\n
