Hong Kong teenager who kept up studies despite cancer diagnosis among those honoured in Student of the Year award

Ceon Yan Tsz-soen stopped attending school in November 2019 after the youngster, then 16, was given a life-changing piece of news when she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system.

Her parents cried when they were told, but Yan, now 18, stayed strong and did not shed a tear.
