In an interview with the media, he recalled that he was disciplined by strict father since he was a child, and he was often "stewed pork with rattan": he bought the wrong overnight bread and smashed the wrong tofu, which may have developed his cautious, determined and hardworking character. & ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt& ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt

Caution, sureness and decisiveness are our reporters' deepest impressions of Donald Tsang in interviews and many contacts in Hong Kong. He is most famous for urging the SAR government to enter the market to stop "predators" in the face of the impact of the Asian financial turmoil at the beginning of Hong Kong's return. At that time, some people criticized this move for violating the consistent practice of Hong Kong's market economy and setting a "bad precedent" for the future. However, a large number of facts proved afterwards that if the government did not enter the market, Hong Kong's economy would be further dragged down. According to the Hong Kong reporter who interviewed him at that time, there was a statue of a samurai killing an animal similar to a crocodile on his desk. He called the crocodile "Soros". 1998 At the end of September, Donald Tsang visited Europe and the United States and took the opportunity of attending the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to explain in detail the reasons for the Hong Kong SAR Government's intervention in the market.

To outsiders, Donald Tsang and his wife are very loving. Both of them are devout Catholics. They go to church to pray together every day and often walk and chat together. On holidays, the couple often drag their hands to the Wan Chai market to buy food and eat in restaurants. Mrs Tseng loves music and has held many charity piano concerts.

In Hong Kong's political circles, Donald Tsang is notoriously outspoken, and some people describe him as "swearing without surprising words". On a public occasion, he recalled the past when 1998 repelled international speculators, and blurted out that once the linked exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar was decoupled, "it was like losing your virginity, and after a devaluation, you can do anything in the future", which surprised the audience. However, in the past year, in the face of all kinds of speculation and rumors about running for the new chief executive, Donald Tsang's mouth has been very tight. & ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt& ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt
Donald Tsang attaches great importance to his image. 200 1 A weekly magazine in Hong Kong visited a former chef of Zeng and mentioned Zeng's private life. Donald Tsang thought the article was completely untrue, so he sent a lawyer's letter to the magazine at his own expense, pointing out that the report involved libel. Finally, the weekly magazine was forced to publish a full-page apology notice, setting a record for the first senior official in Hong Kong to take legal action against the media for libel. & ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt& ltbr & gt& ltBr & gt
