今天，我們紀念基金會創辦人高錕教授九十二歲冥誕。

他教導我們以好奇心與想像力看待世界，勇於挑戰束縛我們的限制，並相信不可能之事也可成為現實。

2009年，瑞典皇家科學院授予高錕教授諾貝爾物理學獎，表彰其「在光纖通訊傳輸技術領域的開創性成就」。評語特別指出：「當今光纖構成了促進資訊社會的循環系統。光在如髮絲般的玻璃纖維中流動，承載著所有流向的話音與數據傳輸。如果沒有光纖，就不會有互聯網和寬頻。」

誠然，若非高教授的遠見卓識，我們熟知的互聯網與寬頻根本不會存在。這個瞬時全球通訊的數碼世界，正是他遠見的永恆遺產和活見證。

高教授，感謝您！

Today, we honour our Founder, Prof. Charles K Kao, on what would have been his 92nd birthday.

He taught us to view the world with curiosity and imagination, to challenge the constraints that bind us, and to believe that the impossible might just become reality.

In 2009, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Prof. Kao the Nobel Prize in Physics “for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibres for optical communication.” The citation also noted that: “Today optical fibres make up the circulatory system that nourishes our information society. Light flows in threads of glass, as thin as a hair, which carries almost all of the telephony and data traffic in each and every direction. Without optical fibres there would be no internet nor broadband.”

Indeed, without Prof. Kao’s visionary work, the internet and broadband as we know them would not exist.

The digital world we inhabit, defined by instant global communication, stands as a legacy and a living testament to his vision.

Thank you, Prof. Kao!

[CKKF 2025 Autumn Newsletter]

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Each year, this initiative rallies individuals and organisations worldwide around a joint mission: to raise awareness, share knowledge and counter the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.

The campaign slogan for this year's World Alzheimer's Month is: "Ask about Dementia, Ask about Alzheimer's" - a call to promote open dialogues to encourage timely diagnosis, reduce stigma, and promote understanding of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease….

…. On another note, in this latest issue we also look at the strong association between Dementia, Psychiatric Disorders and Loneliness. By recognising and acknowledging the interplay between these comorbidities in the path towards cognitive decline, we can then take the necessary steps to instigate preventive measure as well as address the challenges as encountered….

高教授與世長辭迄今已經七年。

今日，我們追思其對光纖與電訊領域的非凡貢獻，並頌揚其致力提升腦退化症認知、關懷病患的深厚情懷，以此銘記其遺澤。

高教授的遠見卓識依然照亮我們前行之路，為認知障礙社群點燃希望之光，促進彼此關懐，同舟共濟。

深切懷念，永誌不忘，常駐心間……

In Fond Remembrance of a Brilliant Scientist and the Ultimate Gentleman, our very own PROF. CHARLES K. KAO

Seven years have passed since we bid farewell to Professor Charles Kao.

Today, we honour his legacy by reflecting on his extraordinary contributions to fibre optics and telecommunications, and celebrate his profound commitment to raising dementia awareness and supporting those affected by it.

Professor Kao’s visionary spirit continues to illuminate our path forward, inspiring hope and fostering connection within the dementia community.

Dearly missed, fondly remembered, and forever in our hearts…

主席的話：

今天是世界阿茲海默症日。

今年世界阿茲海默症月的主題口號是：「Ask about Dementia, Ask about Alzheimer's」。這一呼籲旨在促進開放對話，鼓勵及時診斷、減少偏見標簽，並提升公眾對認知障礙症與阿茲海默症的認識。

透過開誠布公的交流，我們能夠推動早期診斷，破除偏見及善導社會大眾。我們的目標是讓開放對話習以為常，有關知識順暢交流，並傾聽親歷者的心聲，支持所有受影響的患者及照顧者。

因此, 請大家認識風險因素, 了解症狀，留意徵兆，參考有關資源並提出疑問。每一個問題都重要，每一次對話都意義重大！

透過開放對話與共享交流，讓我們攜手促進大眾對認知障礙症與阿茲海默症的支持及理解。

Words from the Chairman:

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day.

The campaign slogan for this year's World Alzheimer's Month is: "Ask about Dementia, Ask about Alzheimer's" - a call to promote open dialogues to encourage timely diagnosis, reduce stigma, and raise public awareness of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.

By talking openly, we can work towards earlier diagnosis, break down stigma, and better educate our communities. Our goal is to normalise conversations, share knowledge, prioritise the voices of those with lived experience, and support those affected.

So, know the risk factors and the symptoms, be aware of the signs, seek out available resources and ask questions. Every question counts, and every conversation matters!

Together, through open dialogues and shared conversations, let us promote compassion and understanding of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease within our communities.

明早（5月4日）8時至10時，香港電台第一台FM926的《舊日的足跡》節目，將播出基金會主席盧永仁博士及高錕中大「腦智同護」聯合總監莫仲棠教授的錄音訪問。此外，基金會會長高黃美芸女士也將透過電話越洋分享她在美國的近況，敬請留意！
