Who can give me some historical celebrities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region?
The most representative Hong Kong historical figures are as follows. . .
Governor of Hong Kong:
The Governor of Hong Kong (referred to as the Governor), the British representative to Hong Kong during the colonial period (1841-1997), served 28 times (otherwise There were three governors of Hong Kong during the Japanese colonial period, who were Japanese, totaling 31 terms). After Hong Kong returned to China, this position was generally replaced by the Chief Executive.
In 1843, the Royal Charter was promulgated, announcing the establishment of the colony of Hong Kong. The King of England is the supreme ruler of Hong Kong, and the Governor is the King's plenipotentiary representative and concurrently serves as the commander-in-chief of Hong Kong's armed forces. The Governor of Hong Kong has great power. He presides over the Executive Council and the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. The members of both councils are appointed by the Governor. It was not until 1991 that the first direct election of some members of the Legislative Council was held. The early governors of Hong Kong were all officials from the British Colonial Office. After 1971, most of the governors were diplomats (Lord MacLehose was the first); the last governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, was a politician and a former member of the British Conservative Party. Party leader.
