CY Leung’s daughter announces she’s ‘officially left home’ a day after ambulance drama
Leung Chai-yan said she had "officially" left home a day after claiming online that she'd had a violent row with her mother.
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s eldest daughter said she had "officially" left home this morning, a day after claiming online that she'd had a violent row with her mother and that she had been "held against her will" at home.
Ambulances arrived at the Government House yesterday morning, where the Hong Kong leader and his family lives, hours after Chai-yan began posting a series of Facebook posts detailing the dispute and her plans to leave home "forever".
The incident prompted Leung Chun-ying to hold a press conference that afternoon, in which he denied there was domestic violence in their home. He also said that his 23-year-old daughter had been dealing with health and emotional issues for a few years, and he asked the public to give her space to recover.
But this morning, Chai-yan updated her publicly accessible Instagram account with a message saying she'd fled home accompanied by a photo of a lone bird flying over a coast.
She wrote to her 7,000 Instagram followers: "Officially left home - brought the most basics [sic] with me and the most valuable - a photo album with all my friends in it. #ByeHome #imFinallyFree."
At 10am, she uploaded a photo of herself in a face mask, inside a car, with the caption: "TA."
