Louise Wong’s journey as a rising star has been full of transitions, but she’s handled each one with grace and courage, and always comes out the other end an even better version of herself and an even brighter star. From representing Asian models throughout the region and Europe to portraying one of Hong Kong’s best-loved icons, Anita Mui, Wong has always tapped into her talent and potential to give everything she puts her mind to 110 per cent.

More often than not, giving 110 per cent is what makes someone stand out. From those in Hong Kong who are preserving the city’s culture and heritage through guided tours to Cathay Pacific pilot Amit Sharon who started an online delivery business selling fresh dips and bread—an idea which took flight at the height of the pandemic—our stories this week are full of inspiring people who dared to go that extra mile.
