Group A
A closer look at the daily life of a guide dog user here in Hong Kong. Ms. Trada Yip lost her eyesight when she was a teenager because of glaucoma. Due to the lack of guide dogs, she flew to New York and got one. Rally had become her closest companion ever since, so much so she would call it a mother and daughter relationship. The story also reflects the support needed for the visually-impaired people. There are more than 1700 applicants seeking for guide dogs, with only about forty in service. Ms. Yip’s quality of life has been hugely improved with Rally on her side the whole time.

As one of the main public health concerns, smoking has been strongly restricted by the Hong Kong government since 1999. Based on the Smoking Ordinance, the government provides several services aimed at helping people to quit smoking, including counseling. Some scholars believe the services help increase the success rate while some private companies and long-time smokers argue that the smokers’ own will and determination are overlooked in the government policies. This news story will highlight both sides of the argument.
