(HKIS Marketing Internship Program)
In her presentation, Ms. Tan spoke on her journey to becoming a successful published author and the different paths that could be taken. Having always been drawn to the legend of Chang’e and the many versions of the reason why she chose to take the elixir, Ms. Tan began to imagine the possibility of an alternative motivation - saving her unborn child. This was the inspiration for the premise of 'The Daughter of the Moon Goddess'. As she describes, even amidst the sprawling lands, dragons, and magic, “at the heart of the story is love, both romantic and family, It is what drives the main character.” Due to her success, it is surprising to learn that Ms. Tan was far from an expert when she began writing, having not majored in writing and having little understanding of the complicated publishing process. In her own words, “I was just writing for myself. I didn’t know about structure or outline or anything, it was just something that came out.”
In addition, Ms. Tan took the time to answer many questions posed by students. Ms. Tan revealed aspects about crafting story. When asked about how much of her personal experience she draws on, Ms. Tan answered “[T]his one is very much fantasy. I can assure you there no real life experience there. Where you can draw on is in the emotions the characters go through.”
Finally, Ms. Tan gave valuable advice for accepting rejection as a writer, stating that “When I read something not good about it, I try to think, 'why are they saying it? You don’t have to answer that question straight away, you can give it two days, five days.”

Dragon Testimonies: Theresa Lovelin
For Theresa Lovelin, coming to Hong Kong and to HKIS was part of an intricate plan by God. Theresa arrived in Hong Kong in June 2017 when her husband Dave Lovelin became High School Principal. While there, she met Jesus, became a committed Christian, and was baptized at the Church of All Nations. Looking back, Theresa sees the seeds planted throughout her life and can confidently say that HKIS was an important stepping stone in her lifelong journey of spirituality.

Dragon Testimonies: Alan Zhou '31
Alan Zhao ‘31 didn’t like to miss out. It was his good friend Emmanuel who invited him to church, and when Communion took place, Alan wanted to know what he had to do to take part. The two friends joined JOY Club, the Christian after-school club, and continued to attend church together each week to learn more about the Bible. Friendship, support from his family, and God’s prompting have been Alan’s greatest gifts this year!
