Top achievers in Hong Kong's DSE tests share their study tips

On Wednesday, over 55,000 Hong Kong students received their results for the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE), the city's university entrance exam. Sixteen top scorers from 14 schools achieved the perfect 5** grades in six subjects, with 10 of them becoming 'super top scorers' excelling in the extended module.
Here they share their insights and tips on how they excelled in their DSE studies.
1. Time management and self-discipline
Norris Kung Yan-long, 18, a super top scorer from St Paul's Co-education College who studied physics, chemistry, economics and mathematics extended module 2 (M2), said that self-discipline, having goals and setting a target were the most important factors in achieving his grades.
'Rest is necessary, but you should also define your timetable and know when to study. There must be a goal set on how much to cover, or perhaps, which topics you are not as familiar with, and do targeted revision based on that,' Kung added.
Ian Yau Pok-yan, a top scorer from Cheung Chuk Shan College said making good use of 'scattered time' was important.

3 self-sufficient young disabled Chinese men sell garlic for a living, inspiring many

Three young disabled men from southeastern China earn a living by selling garlic and ginger, inspiring many online with their self-reliance and mutual support.

She documents their daily routines and work, sharing the content online with 23,000 followers in hopes of garnering social support for them. The trio, all in their 20s from Jiangxi province, live with varying degrees of cerebral palsy. One of them, known as Long, is the most severely affected, lacking feeling in his legs, having hand deformities, and depending on a wheelchair. Han struggles with speech, while Qi has weak legs and cannot stand for more than three minutes. They met through local events organised by the Disabled Persons' Federation and now share a small rented room, assisting each other with dressing and dividing cooking and other household responsibilities.
