When I received the email and saw Augustus Tang's photo, my immediate reaction was that he looks so sad, disinterested, and devoid of passion. It's like he's lost whatever fire he's supposed to have in his job, and he's doing it par course, having lost all will to fight. His facial expression doesn't make me at all "believe" his words (that I'm sure were well crafted by his PR team).
I so badly wanted to give him a bear hug to make him feel better. And say buck up - you're the CEO, rise to your job!
Is this what 2+ years of COVID dismemberment in Hong Kong has done to a person?
