There's a Buddhist saying that "a good, selfless person will receive good karmic returns". For Vincent Pau Chun-yu, who treated the ill in Sudan with Médecins Sans Frontières, that came true.
A friend of the young doctor managed to persuade Pau's idol, singer-actress Vivian Chow Wai-man, to write some words of encouragement on his Facebook page. "I was a little sceptical at first … but I left a message on Vincent's Facebook page," Chow says.
At an event held at the K11 Art Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui on Sunday to mark Médecins Sans Frontières Day, Pau got to meet his idol in the flesh. Whoever said "no good deed goes unpunished" was definitely wrong in this case.
Some books are too big to have just one launch party, so the English-language edition of Anna Pao Sohmen's book got two - one at the HSBC headquarters in Central and another hosted by the Asia Society in Admiralty.
