Hongkongers pay tribute to late leader Tung Chee-hwa at community halls
Residents lay flowers and leave messages in condolence books ahead of vigil on Saturday and state funeral on Sunday
Some residents have started paying tribute to Hong Kong’s first chief executive Tung Chee-hwa on Friday morning, bringing flowers and writing heartfelt messages in condolence books placed at three community halls across the city.
The condolence signing is arranged for the public a day ahead of Tung’s vigil on Saturday, followed by a state funeral on Sunday.
“Chief Executive Tung, you devoted yourself selflessly so that Hong Kong could make a smooth transition. Hong Kong people will remember you forever,” a resident surnamed So wrote in a condolence book.
So, who lives in Causeway Bay and paid tribute at the Moreton Terrace Activities Centre on Friday morning, said Tung left a legacy worth remembering for Hong Kong people.
