Reference excerpt

Hung Hing Ying Building (Chinese: 孔慶熒樓) is a building of the University of Hong Kong. It is located on the main campus on Bonham Road, opposite to the Main Building of the university. It was built in the architectural style of neoclassical and Edwardian Baroque. The building is two storeys high. It was built in 1919 and was initially named the Union Building. This building has been a declared monument since 1995. Funds for the construction of the building were financed by Professor C. A. Middleton Smith, Sir Paul Chater, Acting Vice Chancellor Gregory Paul Jordan and many others. It was opened in February 1919 by Governor Sir Edward Stubbs. The building was originally used and designed to accommodate the Students' Union. It was then used for administrative purposes after the Second World War. An east wing was constructed in 1962, and the building was converted to the Senior Common Room for the university's academic and senior administrative staff in 1974. In 1986, in appreciation of the donations made by Hung Hing Ying towards the university, the building was renamed to Hung Hing Ying Building. The building was used by the Department of Music from 1996 till 2013, when it was relocated to the Run Run Shaw Tower of the Centennial Campus.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hung Hing Ying Building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hung Hing Ying Building claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hung Hing Ying Building before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hung Hing Ying Building ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hung Hing Ying Building

In research: Hung Hing Ying Building appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hung Hing Ying Building in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hung Hing Ying Building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1919 establishments in Hong Kong, Buildings and structures completed in 1919, Declared monuments of Hong Kong, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hung Hing Ying Building outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
