Inaugural “Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care” Graduation Ceremony Students Showcase Their Learning Outcomes

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 October 2025 – Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited (“Beijing Tong Ren Tang”) (3613.HK) yesterday hosted the 10th anniversary retrospective exhibition of its “Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign” community health activity at its Tai Po Production and R&D Base. Over the past decade, Beijing Tong Ren Tang has consistently promoted stroke prevention awareness in communities, uniting diverse sectors through innovative activities to spread traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture and knowledge. Marking this 10th anniversary milestone, Beijing Tong Ren Tang has further stepped into schools this year, integrating culture with technology to pass on TCM and foster a future health community grounded in traditional wisdom. Through theoretical classes and interactive practices, it gradually builds sustainable community health mobilization while promoting the TCM concept of “Preemptive Health Practices.” This enhances Hong Kong citizens’ healthcare awareness and contributes TCM’s strengths to society’s overall health.

Students from the inaugural Beijing Tong Ren Tang “Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care” attended the graduation ceremony and were awarded certificates of appreciation, officially becoming “Hong Kong Student Ambassadors for Chinese Medicine and Health Care.” They pledged to continue actively promoting traditional Chinese medicine health culture in the future.

New Programme Cultivates the Next Generation of TCM Ambassadors
As a key project of this year’s “Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign,” Beijing Tong Ren Tang launched the inaugural “Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care,” fully supported by China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited (“China Mobile Hong Kong”) through its education brand “Edubile”, bringing the “Tong Ren Smart Green Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation Course” to Hong Kong campuses. Since its launch in March this year, the programme has attracted over 50 students from Caritas Ma On Shan Secondary School, Shun Tak Fraternal Association Yung Yau College, Yan Chai Hospital Law Chan Chor Si Primary School, S.K.H. Tin Shui Wai Ling Oi Primary School, and Yaumati Catholic Primary School. Through the course, students systematically learn traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, herbal planting techniques, and the development and application of modern Chinese medicine. In response to “World Stroke Day,” the participating students held a graduation ceremony yesterday at the Tai Po Production and R&D Base, sharing their learning outcomes and community service insights over the past few months.

Over the past few months, students not only learned to plant herbs firsthand but also utilized the 5G+AIoT technology provided by Edubile to observe, record, and analyze plant growth data, effectively cultivating a scientific research spirit and innovative thinking. Throughout the programme, they visited Beijing Tong Ren Tang’s Tai Po Production and R&D Base, toured the Beijing Tong Ren Tang Cultural Museum and production lines, and visited China Mobile Hong Kong’s 5G Lab for hands-on experiences, engaging with traditional Chinese medicine experts and technology specialists. The programme has effectively and comprehensively deepened students’ understanding of the integration of the traditional Chinese medicine industry with technology. In off-campus visits and practical activities, students personally experienced the intangible cultural heritage pill-rolling technique, from material preparation to forming honey pills—each step required precise control of force and technique—allowing students to appreciate the craftsmanship and unique charm of traditional skills. Additionally, students learned about the practical benefits of traditional Chinese herbal sachets and specially made them to bring into the community. There, they joined stroke prevention health lectures, gifted the sachets to the elderly, and disseminated stroke prevention knowledge, truly putting into practice the programme’s concept of “Inheriting Traditional Chinese Medicine, Inspiring a Smarter Future.”

The Inaugural Beijing Tong Ren Tang “Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care” concluded successfully.

Mr. Tsang Yok-sing, Independent Non-Executive Director of Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited, said: “In traditional concepts, milestone years—every five and ten—are big occasions. ‘Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign’ community health initiative has reached its tenth year. I sincerely congratulate them on their unwavering commitment over the decade, finding new directions through exploration and truly taking root in Hong Kong communities. Today is also the graduation ceremony for the ‘Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care,’ where students have opened their eyes to traditional Chinese medicine culture through learning, which is highly meaningful. By collaborating with Edubile, Beijing Tong Ren Tang is helping young people understand traditional Chinese medicine, herbs, and advanced technology—this is the action of a responsible enterprise. Inspire a spark of curiosity now, and tomorrow’s leaders will shine on their own.”

Mr. Yan Han, Executive Director and the Chairman of the Board of Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited, said: “Beijing Tong Ren Tang is rooted in Hong Kong and concerned with citizens’ health, adhering to the original aspiration of ‘Nurturing Kindness and Virtue, Preserving Tranquility and Wellness,’ and earnestly fulfilling corporate social responsibility to give back to the broad support and trust of citizens. Over the past decade, we have continuously hosted the ‘Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign’ series of activities, extending from high-risk groups, vulnerable populations, and silver-haired communities to enterprises, workplaces, and youth in academia, connecting communities through diverse interactions and actively promoting the traditional Chinese medicine concept of ‘preventive treatment of disease,’ with cumulative investment exceeding 10,000 hours and generating over five million engagements. This year, we entered schools and jointly launched the inaugural ‘Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care’ with China Mobile Hong Kong, combining traditional Chinese medicine cultural education with innovative technology practices, allowing students to deeply appreciate the craftsmanship of traditional Chinese medicine—this is a concrete action that embodies our concept of ‘Inheriting Traditional Chinese Medicine, Inspiring a Smarter Future.’ and we also hope this programme can set a successful example in the education sector. Looking ahead, we will focus on nurturing young students, actively promoting traditional medicine cultural education programmes, deeply cultivating the soil of traditional Chinese medicine culture, while helping enhance Hong Kong citizens’ healthcare awareness through integrated, everyday promotion models, contributing the strengths of traditional Chinese medicine to the overall health of Hong Kong society.”

At the graduation ceremony, students actively shared their learning experiences, including how to apply traditional Chinese medicine knowledge in daily life and how technological practices help cultivate environmental awareness and interdisciplinary thinking. A student from Yan Chai Hospital Law Chan Chor Si Primary School said that the off-campus visit to the Beijing Tong Ren Tang Cultural Museum and the hands-on pill‑rolling experience had opened their eyes. They had originally thought pill rolling looked easy, but when they tried it themselves, they realised it was difficult to master the force and technique and that they still needed to learn from the master. They added that they were truly grateful to the master for patiently teaching traditional skills and that the programme had taken them on a precious journey into traditional Chinese medicine culture.

Another student from Shun Tak Fraternal Association Yung Yau College said that the programme had not only taught them herbal cultivation and 5G technology applications but had also encouraged them to serve the community, broadening their horizons and enhancing their innovative thinking and sense of social responsibility. A student from S.K.H. Tin Shui Wai Ling Oi Primary School also said that planting herbs and visiting the 5G lab had helped them understand how technology supports the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and that they would continue to promote this knowledge to help more people prevent strokes.

Students who completed the course were awarded certificates of appreciation and officially became “Hong Kong Student Ambassadors for Chinese Medicine and Health Care,” committing to actively promote traditional Chinese medicine health culture in the future.

Entering Workplaces and Communities to Build Multi-Level Prevention Networks
In addition to nurturing a new force in traditional Chinese medicine culture, this year’s “Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign” also moved into workplaces and continued to support elderly communities, providing tailored health support for people of different ages and lifestyles. For office workers, Beijing Tong Ren Tang collaborated with a number of enterprises to hold occupational health lectures, with Chinese medicine practitioners explaining stroke prevention knowledge, accompanied by Ba Duan Jin demonstrations and acupoint health guidance, along with on-site interactions and distribution of “Tong Ren Care Packages,” bringing practical workplace wellness and stroke prevention knowledge to offices. For the elderly, activities took place in community centers, combining health lectures, free clinics, herbal sachet workshops, and Ba Duan Jin exercises, with student ambassadors interacting with “Bronze Boy” to promote intergenerational harmony and comprehensively strengthen community stroke prevention mobilization.

A Decade of Caring: Linking Communities for Healthy Living

Yesterday, distinguished guests, teachers, and students also visited the “Tong Ren Tang Stroke Prevention Campaign” 10th anniversary retrospective exhibition, looking back together at the major milestones, wonderful moments, and community health achievements over the past decade. Over ten years, the initiative has cumulatively invested over 10,000 hours and generating over five million engagements. Even during the pandemic, the activities never stopped and distributed nearly 10,000 “Tong Ren Care Packages” to community elderly and those in need. In addition, Beijing Tong Ren Tang has continuously held stroke prevention health lectures and free clinics, conveying the traditional Chinese medicine concept of “Preemptive Health Practices” and key stroke prevention knowledge to citizens in lively and simple ways. Innovative activity formats include: creating the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Ba Duan Jin Learning Class,” launching the first stroke prevention traditional Chinese medicine mobile free clinic promotion vehicle, producing the “Care. Act in Time” microfilm and educational short films, organizing the “Walk with heart, Walk with love” and a children’s large-scale love mural co-creation activity, launching “Free Tram Day” to integrate health messages into everyday city life.

No Judgement, No Awkwardness: More Hongkongers Are Opening Up to AI for Mental Health Support

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2026 – There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from the stress itself, but from carrying it in silence — unsure whether it is serious enough to mention, or whether anyone would truly understand.

A newly completed Hong Kong study suggests there may finally be a way to bridge that gap. The AIM Greater China Psychology Research Group has completed a Hong Kong-based study conducted in the 2025–2026 academic year, comparing the effectiveness of human hypnotherapists against AI in delivering hypnotic experience-based stress relief experiences. The findings were striking: a significant proportion of participants felt that both approaches yielded virtually equivalent levels of relaxation — and more than 60% reported preferring their AI session after the fact.

Over 400 Applicants: A Reflection of a Generation in Need of Being Heard

The research team recruited participants experiencing family-related stress via Facebook. Within a short period of the post going live, over 400 individuals voluntarily applied — a figure that speaks not only to the pervasiveness of stress in modern life, but also to a growing willingness among the public to prioritise their own emotional wellbeing and actively seek self-care solutions.

From the applicant pool, 48 participants were randomly selected to take part. Each participant underwent two separate hypnotic experience stress relief audio sessions, each lasting approximately one hour — one recorded by a human hypnotherapist, and one fully generated by AI, including both the script and voice. Participants then compared their personal experiences of both sessions.

What Humans Can Do, AI Can Do Too

In the most critical area of comparison — stress relief effectiveness — the largest single group of participants (41.7%) rated the AI and human sessions as equally effective. On a scoring basis, the AI hypnotic experience averaged approximately 2.92 points, compared to 2.58 points for the human session — with AI coming out marginally ahead.

The study further found that nearly 90% of participants indicated they would enjoy a session if it genuinely helped them feel relaxed. In other words, what people truly care about is whether it works — not whether the voice behind it belongs to a human or a machine. On this front, AI has passed the test.

Over 60% More Willing to Share Their Feelings with AI

The results around personal preference were perhaps the most eye-opening. When asked which session they enjoyed more, 62.5% of participants chose the AI experience — and among women, that number climbed even higher, to 68.4%.

So what made AI the preferred choice? Researchers believe it comes down to one simple thing: feeling safe. With AI, there is no worry about being judged. No fear of saying the wrong thing. No awkwardness. About 1 in 4 participants said they actually found it easier to talk openly with AI — because it communicates in a way that feels clear, calm, and natural, much like everyday conversation.

The truth is, some things are just easier to say when no one is watching. That is not a flaw in human nature — it is simply how many of us work.

When it came to privacy, the findings were equally reassuring. More than half of all participants said they had no concerns about AI handling their personal information. Only a very small number — just 2.08% — said they felt uncomfortable. This points to a growing sense of trust in AI tools among the general public.

AI Reads the Data; Therapists Read the Person

Beyond the hypnotic experience itself, the local research team also evaluated AI’s capability as an analytical tool — with equally impressive results.

AI was able to rapidly process large volumes of participant responses, objectively assess individual stress levels, and identify underlying patterns. For instance, AI identified that 35% of participants independently expressed a desire for “personal space” or “better soundproofing” in their homes. On the surface, these may seem like trivial lifestyle concerns — yet AI connected this pattern to the reality of Hong Kong residents living in constrained spaces, highlighting a deeper psychological sense of having “nowhere to breathe”. This level of insight would be difficult to uncover through manual review of dozens of questionnaires alone.

AI also observed that many participants habitually occupied the role of “problem-solver” or “mediator” within their households, suppressing their own emotional needs in the process. Researchers noted that this reflects a widely recognised social phenomenon — the pressures faced by eldest daughters and the so-called “sandwich generation,” caught between the responsibilities of caring for ageing parents and raising children. AI’s ability to rapidly identify these hidden emotional burdens allows therapists to bypass lengthy preliminary assessments and focus more swiftly on the core issues that require their attention.

AI Is Here to Help, Not to Take Over

The local research team emphasises that the study was never intended to position AI as a replacement for human therapists. Rather, the aim is to explore how the two can work in tandem. Much like how blood test reports assist physicians in diagnosis, AI can play an analogous supporting role in the mental health field — organising data, identifying patterns, and lowering barriers to seeking help, so that mental health professionals can direct their energy towards the moments that truly require a human touch.

Those who proactively seek psychological support remain a minority, often deterred by the fear of inconvenience, social stigma, or the awkwardness of speaking up. If AI can serve as the bridge that encourages more people to take that first step, that alone may be its most meaningful contribution to society.

In this partnership, Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup, will act as the project operator and lead the collaboration with IHG Hotels & Resorts, while coordinating with all stakeholders throughout the development and operational phases.

Together with Vinpearl’s world-class hospitality brand, the addition of four premium IHG hotels will help realize a 7,000-room accommodation ecosystem at Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio, meeting the growing demand for extended stays and diverse experiences year-round in Can Gio and Ho Chi Minh City.

With brands spanning multiple segments, we believe this collaboration will help create an integrated hospitality ecosystem that meets the diverse needs of travelers at one of Vietnam’s most significant developments.”

Ms. Ngo Thi Huong, Chief Executive Officer of Vinpearl Joint Stock Company, said: “We selected IHG not only for its global brand portfolio but also for its proven operational expertise across international markets. Introducing InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express, and Garner to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio is a key step in completing our service structure and establishing international operating standards for the mega project’s hotel system. With this partnership as a foundation, we believe Vinhomes Green Paradise will progressively emerge as a world-class destination, where a fully integrated ecosystem continues to enhance its appeal to residents and both domestic and international visitors.”

Vinhomes Green Paradise is located in the southeastern part of Ho Chi Minh City. Construction began on April 19, 2025, with a total area of 2,870 hectares. The development features three sides facing the sea and is adjacent to the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized site. The project is being developed to leading ESG++ standards, integrating green, smart, ecological, and regenerative principles.
