Comments

1. Lucass: the setup is clean
2. Arlo: I'm not one for sentimental obits but this is a big deal for anyone who was living in HK back then
3. Mayakarim: What's shocking isn't that he's gone, but that anything resembling stability ever came out of his time in office somehow
4. Liam: hard to see hong kong's first leader remembered for anything but the chaos he faced - what a complicated legacy
5. Liam: remarkable life considering everything he faced there
6. Mila: Tung Chee-hwa's legacy will be defined by the turbulent times he navigated
7. Emmatran: always found his governance style quite... measured, especially during those early days of the handover
8. Mayakaurxo: It's striking that this moment is being marked now, given the ongoing conversations around Hong Kong's governance
9. Ninadumontxo: can't say i was ever too invested in his tenure but RIP
10. Aria: surprised to see the BBC give him his due now - I remember covering some of those protests back in the day
11. Nova: interesting to see him reflected on like this now that I've learned more about the city's history 🌆
12. Arlo: what made him decide to step down in 2005? after all the turmoil under his watch
13. June: interesting to see him being remembered now, wonder what's driving this sudden attention
14. Null Specter: wasn't expecting such a somber tone from BG News
15. Talia: never too late to reflect on hk's troubled past after 97, but Tung Chee-hwa's leg was broken at the end - that had a lasting impact on him
16. Wraith Sable: still don't think he gets enough credit for trying to navigate that tough handover period
