On July 20, the day when the results of the Hong Kong College Entrance Examination DSE were announced, Steven Ma Chun Wai, a Christian actor and singer, encouraged students by using the Chinese character “jen” (or ren, meaning benevolence ) which is a key Confucian concept. He told them that scores do not mean everything, exhorting them to become more helpful persons rather than judge success or failure by their achievements.
He wrote on social media, “I attend the activity of ‘Using One Word for Encouragement’. I often say that in school, test scores are of course important. Surely I will be happy for you if you can do well in the exam. But I also often emphasize that scores don’t mean everything and won’t be the whole of your life, as long as you have tried your best. We live, not only to learn how to study but also how to be a man. Just as in the Analects of Confucius, Confucius regarded ‘jen’ as the moral principle, the standard, and life state in his ideological system. Therefore, I hope to share with all the students using the word ‘jen’. On the journey of life, success or failure will not be determined only by achievements. However, being benevolent can make you a more helpful person!"
He continued, "Dear students, by this I hope we can encourage each other and cheer each other up! I call on each person in society who cares about the students to encourage them in the way of "Using One Word for Encouragement" on their own social platforms. Receiving blessings and encouragement, they can relax and relieve pressure. ”
Fans of Steven responded as follows:
“The word ‘jen’ does a very good explanation for how to behave and cultivate one’s morality.”
“While we are working hard, we should also establish good moral character and achieve both ability and moral integrity.”
"Precious message and sincere wishes."
"We have to be persistent in everything we do!”

7月20日是香港高考DSE的放榜日，基督徒艺人马浚伟用“仁”字勉励学生们，并称“成绩不代表一切”，在认识旅途中不要用成绩判定成败，而是要成为一个更有用的人。
他在社交媒体上写道：
“一人一字 勉励考生
我经常说，求学时期，考试成绩当然重要。同学能考到好成绩，当然替你高兴。但同时我也经常强调，成绩不代表一切，也不会是你人生的全部，只要尽了力就够。我们在地上，除了努力读书学习，也要努力学习做人。就如《论语》中，孔子先师把“仁”作为他思想体系中的道德原则、标准和境界。所以，我希望透过这个“仁”字和同学们分享，在人生旅途上，不会只用成绩而定成败，反而这个“仁”更能让你成为更有用的人！
同学们，我们互勉，彼此打气，加油！
我呼吁社会上每一位关心考生的朋友，也在各自的社交平台上，以‘一人一字’方式勉励考生，为他们送上祝福和鼓励，齐齐放松减压。”
粉丝回应道：
“仁字，给人生的为人处事和治学修身做了很好的注角与注释。”
“努力的同时要树立良好品德，做到德才兼备。”
“声声寄语，谆谆教诲，殷殷期盼。”
“凡事有恒心，能持之以恒！”
