Abstract | The date was May 23, 1996 -- the day Hong Kong's most notorious gangster allegedly pulled off what the local press is calling the most spectacular crime of his extraordinary career. Today, Cheung Tze-keung, 43, also known as Big Spender, is sitting in prison in southern China, awaiting trial and then, almost certainly, execution by firing squad. The article talks about the rise and fall of Cheung Tze-keung. Subjects of speculation are mentioned, including kidnapping of Victor Li, son of Li Ka-shing and Walter Kwok, chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties company. |
