Tung Chee-hwa (1937–2026), son of the shipping magnate C. Y. Tung, was born in Shanghai, came to Hong Kong at twelve, graduated in marine engineering from the University of Liverpool in 1960 and spent a decade working in the United States. He took over OOCL after his father's death in 1982; the company nearly collapsed in 1985 under more than HK$20 billion of debt before Henry Fok's injection and a bank-led restructuring, returning to profit in 1992. Appointed to the Executive Council in 1992, he defeated Yang Ti-liang, Peter Woo and Li Fook-shiu in the December 1996 selection and became the first Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR on 1 July 1997, taking a second term unopposed in 2002. His tenure covered the Asian financial crisis, SARS and the 2003 mass march; he resigned on health grounds in March 2005. He then served as a CPPCC Vice-Chairman until 2023 and founded the Our Hong Kong Foundation in 2014. He died in Hong Kong on 8 September 2026.
