Great. Professor and director: if you are the only professor, do leave out the indefinite article. If you are one of a few, please put in the indefinite article.
I am still debating about THE Chinese University of Hong Kong. You already have THE before Prince of Wales, which is essential. Normally we would just say University of Hong Kong after THE Prince of Wales Hospital. However, because you have Chinese as a distinctive (adjective), I think you have to leave it in. Is there an English University of Hong Kong?
Someone else confirm?

use more periods than commas. It will make the passage more easier to understand.
