Bernice Liu goes back to school

HONG KONG: Bernice Liu has announced she is going back to Canada to further her education.

After her break-up with entrepreneur Calvin Lo, Bernice recently revealed she had decided to continue her education.

Before becoming an actress, Bernice had attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver but did not complete her business degree. Bernice shared, “I am currently living in the dorms. I am a college student now. This is my unfulfilled wish. A lot of people wonder why I want to go back to school after so long. Actually, the thought would cross my mind every few years.

“Personally, I enjoy school and learning. I don’t know if people know this, but I was actually premed. When I entered college, I wanted to become a doctor to help people. I switched majors in the middle of it though. Afterwards, I joined the (Miss Chinese International) pageant. My life made a 180-degree turn towards Hong Kong.”

Bernice shared that she will be staying in Vancouver for six weeks for school. Already 39 years old, is she still able to memorise things well? Bernice shook her head and admitted, “My memory is not good, so I have to find another way. Fortunately, my classmates are all very nice. I really enjoy life as a student! I am not focusing solely on school though. There are a lot of things I need to think about. I fly back to Hong Kong every week for work. I have to finish these six weeks of school and pass before deciding whether I want to continue with school.”

Though Bernice enjoys life as a student, her heart is still ultimately in Hong Kong. “I can’t leave my fans. When I have time, I will return [to Canada] and continue with school. I won’t give myself too much pressure. The most important thing is to enjoy the process.”
