This weekend, Hong Kong is mourning the passing of former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, who died on September 8 at the age of 89. He served as the city’s first leader after its 1997 handover to China and was known for his steadfast leadership and commitment to public service.
A state funeral is planned to honor Tung, featuring a vigil on Saturday and a memorial on Sunday, with condolence books available at various venues from Friday through Sunday.
The South China Morning Post will release a special commemorative print supplement sharing reflections from those who knew him. You can find tributes from business leaders and political veterans in parts one and two of their coverage.
