Iron Butterfly | Anson Chan | TEDxWanChaiWomen
Drawing on half a decade spent in public service and politics, Anson Chan shares the many challenges and lessons learned highlighting that success doesn't require women to become more like a man but to be themselves without giving up assertiveness. As the first woman to become the Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, Chan describes the need to change pre-conceived notions about the role of women in society and urges women to earn and nurture leadership.
Anson Chan retired as the Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government in 2001, after nearly forty years of service. As Chief Secretary, she headed the 190,000-strong civil service and was the first woman and the first ethnically Chinese person to hold the second-highest governmental position in Hong Kong.

The haters will always be haters. Mrs. Chan exemplifies the qualifies of true leader - articulate, confident and humorous. Most of all, she has the guts to voice her opinion unlike Carrie Lamb who just kowtows to Beijing and mainlandizes HK.
Madam Chan you have my respect and thank you for all you do and courage for universal values.
A great example of a true Hongkongers! Stay strong and keep on fighting for freedom! ❤
Well said!
Respect.
I am greatly respected to Anson Chan as she is a good leader of Hong Kong people.
Respect

Good bye freedom 😢
Lady Chan is made a Lady by the British Queen for a good reason. She is more British than Chinese. She would feel completely at home in England, if they accept her loyalty as put paid for her deserving place to live like an English lady. But her being a butterfly is really a bad joke. It is certainly true that she's extremely ambitious, as written in the press, when she was Chris Patton's right hand woman. But to be a real leader of Hong Kong requires some qualities that she didn't posses then nor now. For that she was captured in the videos on the handover event, where she was seen extremely proud to be congratulated by Jiang Zemin, as she grin so happily then. Four years after handover, she was abruptly removed from power by the Chinese government in Beijing, for reasons no one except the very TOP in the Beijing leadership knows. Although speculations abound as to the reasons, but it was not ever publicly revealed officially, so it remained unknown. For that she became a bitter but smiling "Cheshire Cat" (iron fly by her Chinese detractors). She is now residing in Australia, holds the Royal-given title of Lady, and gets occasionally to speak to think tanks and policymaking bodies in United States mainly, not in Great Britain ironically.

Every comment helps this clip to be really pushed in the KZread search results, This way all those funny wumao dang fighters actually HELP spreading the word of Dame Anson Chan. So funny and yet so satisfying. P.S Don't forget to add more comments!! 😂🤣😄
Iron fly is a better fit.
In case I miss it. An early 80th Happy Birthday to Miss Chan on 17 January 2020 from a fellow Capriconian and admirer.
想做特首 想瘋了

Are you sure HK is the only piece of Chinese soil where the rule of law, freedom, truth and reason still prevail? Fact Checks needed: 2019 HK where offenders, chaos, and insanity have prevailed

She is nothing to be proud of during this past weeks Pretentious and arrogance showing her true colours As a past civil servant she did not achieve much except being an obedient person to the British colonial government
