Li Yi-yan, a third-year student majoring in Professional Accountancy, won “The Best CUHK Flag-Guard Team Member 2024–2025 Award”. She has actively participated in flag-raising duties and competitions, demonstrating a sense of responsibility and outstanding team spirit.

“From knowing nothing about drills to becoming a CUHK Flag-Guard, I am grateful to my instructors and teammates for their patience and unwavering support,” Yi-yan said. “This experience has taught me the true essence of teamwork: it’s not just about technical skills, but also about building shared beliefs and spirits. This award does not belong solely to me; it belongs to every teammate who worked side by side with me.”

Members of the team share a common goal: They are entrusted with the mission of national education and are responsible for flag-raising ceremonies and related activities to safeguard the dignity of the flags.
