Minda and I attended the seminar named “Shum Yat-fei's Wisdom of Learning in Turbulent Times” (岑逸飛亂世易學生活智慧) in HKCEC on 19^th Jul 2026. We arrived early and take a photo for memory. 

There were many books for sale on the reception desk.

Inside the hall, we took a selfie and a lady in right hand side is Mrs. Shum.

(Left: Dr. Liang Jiyong (梁基永), Mr. Vincent Teng Chuen Cheong (鄧傳鏘), Prof. Pang (彭泓基教授), Mrs. Shum and MC)

Each participant received a commemorative booklet of Mr. Shum Yat-fei.

I Ching classmate arrived and we took a photo before the seminar. (Including Tony Chan, Michelle, Kinsen Leung, I, Minda, Pauline, Don, Evelyn and 吳偉鴻).

Kinsen and I took a photo with Prof. Chan Wing Wah (陳永華) and Prof. Pang (彭泓基教授).

I also met I Ching classmate 吳國銘 and Henry. 

In the beginning, Mr. Vincent Teng Chuen Cheong (鄧傳鏘) shared Mr. Shum’s lifestyle that practiced extreme simplicity and knew what to do and what to avoid (有所為，有所不為). He pointed out the mutual resonance between Heaven and humanity (天人感應) and the inevitable cycles of historical rise and fall (盛衰興替).

Then Prof. Pang said that understanding the I Ching and the natural cycles of change and separate Dao and Shu (「道」與「術」). He stated that humans possess three dimensions—Logic (Rationality) (理性), Emotion (感性), and Spirituality (靈性). He suggested teaching primary school students the core 100 words of the I Ching (Qian and Kun hexagrams). He criticized Hong Kong’s current mindset for being too Westernized, self-centered, utilitarian, and lacking civic morality.

After that Dr. Liang Jiyong (梁基永) said that we are in the "Fire Period" (火運) and what Buddhism calls the "Era of Dharma Decline" (末法之世). He also mentioned I Ching had two systems and they were Divination (占卜系統) (Used for short-term, specific decision-making) and Fate/Destiny (命理系統) (Used for analyzing long-term life trends).

Finally, Mrs. Shum announced that she had discovered many AI-generated fake videos of Shum Yat-fei circulating on social media. She reminded everyone not to believe or spread the video.

Finally, organizer and guests took a group photo.

Our I Ching classmates took a group photo with Prof. Pang and Mrs. Shum.

I got Mrs. Shum signature of Mr. Shum’s book.

Also Dr. Liang Jiyong signature. Prof. Pang had already signed.

I took a photo with Mrs. Shum for memory.

Lastly, we took a group photo with Mrs. Shum’s students.

At the end, our class leader Kinsen booked a restaurant and we had lunch together.

The third steering committee meeting was held on 12^th Jul 2026 in ActiveCarePharmacy Limited (ACP) head office and we took a photo for memory. Peter updated the new situation and Matthew reviewed the whole project budget.

After the meeting, Matthew and I had lunch and discussed the capstone projects.

用先天易數占『生意』，得668，卦象如下:

生意占知未見誇，鬼爻持世有參差；只宜謹慎加斟酌，只待來春方可佳．

這首籤詩是典型的 「先凶後吉，待時而動」 之局。668 此數對應的卦象核心在於 「鬼爻持世」，這在生意占卜中代表「隱患當頭」——不是指有鬼怪，而是象徵壓力、小人、或資金周轉的暗礁。

此卦雖終吉，但中間的「參差」（波折）無法跳過。你的心態要像過冬，不求有功，但求無過，明年春雷響時，自然雲開見月。
