Talk:Lau Wong-fat

Alma Mater

Lau's self-declared educational record in Legco biographies is that he attended 靈山中學, Ling Shan College (his English spelling), shown as 'Ling Saan High School' in an earlier entry here, but the identity of this institution is not clear from searches online. The only references are his various bios.

As he was born in 1936, it may have been a secondary school, around 1950. Perhaps in the vicinity of 'Ling Shan Village', or 'Ling Shan Road', in Fanling? But both are minor, and is there no one else in Hong Kong who claims to have been to this institution?

Is more detailed research on the Chinese name revealing? Or did he make it up? Cossaxx (talk) 16:39, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
