How it's used
Names of schools in Hong Kong are often referred to by the name of the benefactor or the person they commemorate. When people mention 陳瑞祺 in conversation, they are almost exclusively referring to the school rather than the historical figure himself. It is common to drop the full school title and just use the name when the context of being a student or alumnus is clear.
