“This year is the 70th anniversary of my alma mater, St. Stephen's Church Kindergarten. I was very honored to accept the invitation of Principal Yin to do an interview and have it published in a special issue of the school journal. The interview reminded me of many coming-of-age stories. I am sharing it with everyone with a thankful heart,” said Christian actress Vivian Chow on December 8.
In the interview released on China's Twitter Weibo, Vivian said with gratitude: "It is really rare that a kindergarten is able to keep running for 70 years, and it is a blessing from God."
The Hong Kong celebrity grew up in a church school. Deeply impressed by the church and influenced by the school, from a young age she developed the habit of praying to our Heavenly Father whenever she was in trouble. In 2009 she formally believed in the Lord. With God’s guidance, she finally understood that all she owns is bestowed by God and the Lord is always with her no matter the ups and downs.
Vivian deeply believes that God has given her gifts (singing, painting, acting, attracting audiences) for a reason. She believes that it was God’s will to let her continue to have a position when she returned to the entertainment industry. She hopes to use her influence to contribute to building unity within society. She prays for God's leadership every day and arranges to share the gospel during her concerts and the tour she was on the year before last. She hopes to testify for God and spread her love."
Some fans comment, "Sister, you were so cute when you were young. This is a very meaningful interview. Thank you for sharing❤️ with us."
"What a happy childhood! A blessed person uses one’s childhood to bring healing for the rest of life, and an unfortunate person uses life to heal one’s childhood. There is no doubt that I'm blessed!"
The alumni interview writes: Ms. Chou’s favorite things to do in kindergarten must be singing and painting. She was promoted to St Stephen's Primary School after graduating from kindergarten. Ms. Chou was the soprano of the Choir of St. Stephen's Church High School. She also participated in inter-school music competitions every year and won awards for solo and group when she was in the fifth grade.
The St. Stephen’s Church Kindergarten gave Ms. Chou a variety of opportunities to practice singing, acting, dancing, painting, and other skills. This gave her the opportunity to develop her personal interests and sowed the seed for her future acting career. Her experience in middle school inspired her creative music potential, leading to her future career path. In 1986, she started her acting career and also worked in broadcasting. Nowadays she has become an internationally renowned and outstanding actress.

12月8日，基督徒艺人周慧敏微博上分享说，今年是母校圣士提反堂幼儿园的70周年校庆，非常荣幸接受尹校长的邀请做了一个专访刊登于校庆特刊内，聊天中让我回忆起不少成长故事，怀着感恩的心在这里与大家分享。
专访中，周慧敏感恩地说：“母校幼儿园能办学七十载实是难得，是神给予的祝福."
从小在教会学校成长的她，庄严的教堂令她印象深刻，在学校的熏陶下，自少便养成祷告的习惯，每当遇到困难便会向天父祷告。直至2009年正式信主，在神的带领下，她明白到现在拥有的也是神所赐予，过去的高低起落，祂也与自己同在，亦因神与她同在使她获得前所未有的平安和信心。她更学懂凡事感恩，并深信神给她的恩赐(唱歌、绘画、演戏、观众缘)是有一定的原因，现在的她重投演艺圈仍有自己存在的位置是神的安排，她希望能运用自己的影响力为建设和谐社会出一分力。她每天祷告，祈求神带领自己前面的道路，在神的旨意下工作。她更在前年个人演唱会和往后的每场巡演中都加设传扬福音元素，希望能为神作见证，把祂的爱传扬开去。”
有粉丝分享说：
“姐姐你小时候好可爱，这是一个很有意义的专访，谢谢姐姐与我们分享[心]”
“好幸福的童年！幸运的人用童年去治愈他的一生，不幸的人用一生去治愈他的童年。毫无疑问我V是幸运的！”
校友专访中写道：周小姐忆述在幼儿园最喜欢做的事情必定是唱歌和绘画。幼儿园毕业后升读圣士提反堂小学。周小姐是圣士提反堂中学合唱团的女高音，每年也会参加校际音乐比赛，她于中五那年更取得独唱和组合的冠军奖项。
圣士提反堂幼儿园给了儿时的周慧敏小姐作多方面的尝试 - 唱歌、演戏、跳舞、绘画等多元化的参与机会，让周小姐发展了自己的兴趣，为未来的演艺事业撒下了种籽。中学阶段更奠定了她的音乐创作潜力及找到自己之后的工作路向，并在1986年以广播工作开展其演艺事业，至今已是一位屹立艺坛的国际知名优秀艺人。
