Today we are giving an honorary degree to Eason Chan. *crowd applauds*
-
I invite Eason Chan to stand and for Dr Heather Forland to introduce him.
-
Eason Chan by the authority vested in me as Vice Chancellor of Kingston University, it
-
gives me great pleasure to confer on you the degree of Doctor of Arts, honoris causa, for
-
your contribution to music and culture. Thank you.*applause*
-
Ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely nervous as you can see...but at the same time I am
-
extremely honoured and privileged to be here to receive such an honour.
-
When I knew that I was recognised by Kingston University of being a doctor in music, I had
-
doubts because I receive a lot of awards, actually more than I deserve I think.
-
You think; 'what's the meaning of this? 'and success...'am I successful?'...I think I'm
-
still learning, I'm still striving to what success is. To me, success is having a very
-
kind and loving heart and I think that's the best, nothing beats that when you do anything.
-
*applause* What I learnt from the UK is this as well
-
*sings*' Always look on the bright side of life (whistles the melody)' I'm in a terribly
-
good mood today! Okay, you may not understand it...I believe
-
music is a universal language. *Sings Odyssey* Thank you
-
very much.
