John Tsang open to naming street or place after Bruce Lee, if elected as Hong Kong’s chief executive
The race’s popular underdog says in Facebook Live chat that kung fu movie icon inspired him as a youth in America
John Tsang Chun-wah has made an unexpected campaign promise, committing himself to officially honouring kung fu legend Bruce Lee if he is elected as the next chief executive.
During his Facebook Live interview with the Post yesterday, Tsang sounded enthusiastic about addressing fans’ long-running complaints about the city’s failure to even name a road or building after its most famous son.
“I think naming a street, a road, or an avenue after Bruce Lee would be welcomed in Hong Kong. I would love it, I would love to see that,” he said.

Asked if he would act on it if he wins next month’s election, the former finance minister replied: “I would certainly give consideration to that ... And I think we need to work harder on it, and really consider that.”
