Title: Ric's Debut Joint Talk on Lingnan and YouTube

On June 20, 2024, Ric made his debut in a joint talk on YouTube alongside Dr. Wilson Li and Stephen Wong. The central theme of the discussion was Lingnan University. Ric expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, emphasizing the genuine passion shared by the three Lingnanians. Their mission as YouTubers is to cover a range of subjects, including local and international current affairs, as well as historical events spanning the past half-century. Additionally, they plan to feature well-known professionals as guest speakers in their studio to attract more subscribers to their YouTube platform.
The successful debut marked an exciting beginning for this trio of Lingnan enthusiasts.   Let’s delve into the fascinating stories of some notable Lingnanians, including the esteemed Jimmy Wu, founder of Maxim’s Group, and other successful individuals who have made significant contributions in Hong Kong and beyond.

Jimmy Wu (James Tak Wu):
Background: James Tak Wu, born in the United States with ancestry from Taishan, Guangdong, graduated from Lingnan University in Guangzhou in 19471. He co-founded Maxim’s Catering in Kowloon, Hong Kong, in 1956, which later became a major subsidiary of Dairy Farm International Holdings. Maxim’s Group expanded to include restaurants, nightclubs, fast-food outlets, cake and coffee shops, and institutional catering units throughout Hong Kong1.
