IN SHORT
Kim Mak has constantly strived to meet life on his own terms, to adhere to his own personal sense of integrity. That integrity involves solving problems big and small while constantly adding value to the society around him. Part of this inspiration comes from having lived and worked abroad before returning to Hong Kong. “When you’re in a foreign country, you learn different things about the world through casual conversation and everyday life. You gain a greater appreciation for their culture but also your culture as well. You learn how to fit in.”
