Confessions at Hong Kong University

For the first time ever, HKU hosts a Student Art Fair on its campus, which opened on April 8, 2013 and will continue with various exhibitions and events until April 20.

One of the exhibitions allows students to write down their “confessions” and hang them on a clothesline for everyone to see. Though they shouldn’t be taken too seriously, they still allow for a nice glimpse into the minds, fears and troubles of HKU students.
