HONG KONG (SE): Family members and friends of the late Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung thanked him for his contribution to family and Church as they recalled different experiences in his life.
 
Cindy Yang, his sister, remembered her eldest brother’s love for the family. For her, Bishop Yeung was a responsible brother who performed the duty of a father. 
 

I knew Bishop Yeung for many years. The bishop and I joined Caritas-Hong Kong in the same year: he as Director of Education Services while I started as a lecturer at the then-Caritas Francis Hsu College (CFHC), now the Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE). My long history of working for the bishop began with my teaching in CFHC, where I had the honour of occasionally drafting his speeches and other documents in English, in particular, those related to the college. 
 

HONG KONG (SE): Joseph Cardinal Zen Ze-kiun expressed his appreciation of the late Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung’s longtime service to Caritas-Hong Kong and his dedication in helping the needy. The cardinal celebrated the vigil Mass and concelebrated the funeral Mass for the bishop on January 10 and 11.
 

HONG KONG (SE): Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung was remembered as a caring Church leader who showed concern for the elderly, young people, migrants, as well as the marginalised in society.
 
In his first meeting with the media as the bishop of Hong Kong on 2 August 2017 (Sunday Examiner, 13 August 2017), he announced four pastoral priorities for his term. First, he would support the least, the last and the lost in society and guide them to the right direction in life. 
 

Bishop Michael Yeung was truly a friend of the youth. It’s easy to assume that a person in his position and with his schedule would be distant and inaccessible. I never got that impression from him. 
 
I remember his warm affection for the youth. He had celebrated the Mass for our annual sports and games day, Holympics, a few times. 
 

He always had a peaceful ambiance surrounding him. Once he stepped into the room, there was always an empowering presence. Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung looked up to the young people in Hong Kong and had strong motivation in trusting the inborn fire that the younger generation has for the future. 
 
Bishop Yeung encountered them personally, asking about their studies and dreams. Even with a busy schedule, he dedicated time to accompany the young people in their activities. 

Fr. Michael Yeung Ming-cheung, Director, Caritas Education, reads the nameplate on the door of Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung quarters in the Catholic Diocese Centre. For Father Joseph Yim Tak-lung, who worked with Bishop Yeung at Caritas-Hong Kong, this explains the person of the late bishop. 
 

I knew Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung for more than 45 years. We spent our seminary days together at the Holy Spirit Seminary. He was very good in Chinese culture, history and literature. I have fond memories of him playing football where he was always the goalkeeper. When he joined the seminary, he was at least 10 years older than us and used to call me “little boy” and would joyfully spent his time with us.
