45. During the year the Tung Wah Hospital celebrated the 50th anniversary of its foundation. It is no exaggeration to say that the Tung Wah Hospital of Hongkong is now well known in every part of the world in which there is a Chinese community and during the year the Committee under the able Chairmanship of Mr. Li Wing-kwong raised a large sum of money to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Hospital.
On October 4 His Excellency the Governor laid the foundation stone of the new wing to the Hospital which the Committee had decided to build to celebrate the occasion.
The extension of the free school accommodation referred to in the last Annual Report has now been carried out and on December 1st the new school was opened by the Governor under the title of the Chung Wa School. It is this building which accounts for the large increase in the expenditure of the Man Mo Temple during the year.
