Along with the further economic integration between Hong Kong and the mainland, many St. Johnians have been moved to the mainland particularly in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In addition to this group of St. Johnians, there are also significant numbers of mainland graduates, who had stayed in our postgraduate wing, is currently back to the mainland. Indeed, many of our mainland graduates are judges, legal professionals and government officials.
