Reference excerpt

Raymond Wu Wai-yung, GBS (15 May 1936 – 3 October 2006) was a Hong Kong pro-Beijing politician and doctor.

Education Wu was educated at the Wah Yan College, Hong Kong and graduated from the University of Hong Kong with the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 1963. He served as president of the Hong Kong Medical Association from 1984 to 1988. In 1997, he was decorated the Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his services to psychiatric rehabilitation in Hong Kong.

Career In the preparatory period for the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong and establishment of the Special Administrative Region (SAR), Wu was member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee and Hong Kong Basic Law Consultative Committee which were responsible for Hong Kong's mini-constitution in the Chinese rule after 1997. He was also the member of the Preparatory Committee for the HKSAR. Wu was a Hong Kong delegate to the 9th and 10th National People's Congresses (NPC) and member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee of the NPC Standing Committee. Since the handover, Wu had served as member of the Hospital Authority from 1997 to 2005 and the chairman of the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund Committee since its establishment in 2002. In his later life, Wu was famous for his hard line comments in support of the Beijing and Hong Kong governments and opposition to public campaigns advocating an early introduction of full democracy. He also argued that no guarantee universal suffrage could return a patriot to serve as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. He supported the move to seek Beijing's interpretation of the Hong Kong Basic Law in 2005 when a row emerged over the tenure of the successor to former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa. Wu died of blood cancer in Queen Mary Hospital on 3 October 2006 at the age of 69.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Raymond Wu (politician)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Raymond Wu (politician) 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 Raymond Wu (politician) 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 Raymond Wu (politician) 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 Raymond Wu (politician)

In research: Raymond Wu (politician) 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 Raymond Wu (politician) 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: Raymond Wu (politician) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1936 births, 2006 deaths, Alumni of Wah Yan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Raymond Wu (politician) 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.
