7 life lessons Alpha Cheung shared with us about humanity after suffering the loss of his father to a extremist.
After suffering the profound loss of his father at the hands of an extremist, Alpha Cheng has turned his tragedy into a call for Australians to unite rather than be divided by hate. Arriving in Sydney with his family as an immigrant from Hong Kong as a child, Alpha grew up in a loving family that embraced multicultural diversity. In October 2015, Alpha’s father, Curtis Cheng, was murdered while leaving work in Parramatta. Since then, Alpha has become a vocal advocate for gun control and has worked voluntarily to promote a national gun amnesty. Moreover, Alpha actively encourages acceptance and tolerance and has spoken out against people who would use his father’s death to justify their opposition to Muslim immigration. A passionate Humanities teacher in a Canberra high school, Alpha is committed to imparting fairness and equality to all his students. Despite suffering at the hands of extremists, Alpha believes Australia is a better place when we all respect our rich diversity.
