CultureHong Kong’s first chief executive Tung Chee-hwa laid to rest in ceremony likened to Henry Fok’s
A public memorial and funeral for Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong’s first chief executive after the handover, was held in Hong Kong on September 20. Xi Jinping and several Politburo Standing Committee members did not attend in person but expressed condolences through wreaths and messages. Shi Taifeng represented the central authorities and delivered the eulogy. The state funeral arrangements were seen as comparable to Henry Fok’s and may set a precedent for former Hong Kong chief executives.
