Leung Chun-ying, GBM, JP (Chinese: 梁振英; born 12 August 1954), also known as CY Leung, is a Hong Kong politician who is the third and incumbent Chief Executive of Hong Kong. He assumed office on 1 July 2012. Prior to his tenure as Chief Executive, Leung held various political offices, including convenor of the Executive Council and member of the Provisional Legislative Council. As a relative unknown, Leung nearly failed to obtain enough votes to be nominated. However, he later won the Hong Kong Chief Executive election with 689 electoral votes, which earned him the nickname "689".
Leung Chun-ying was born on 12 August 1954 in Queen Mary Hospital, the son of Leung Zung-Jan and Kong Sau-Zi. Leung's ancestral origin is Shandong, China. His father was a guard at Government House.
Leung earned a scholarship to study at King's College, where he was a classmate of Chinese democratic activist Lau San-Cing. After graduation, he attended Hong Kong Polytechnic. In 1974, Leung undertook further studies in valuation and estate management at the Bristol Polytechnic and graduated in 1977 first in his class.
Leung later returned to Hong Kong and joined the real estate company Jones Lang Wootton, where he worked for 5 years. By the age of 30, he was made vice-chairman of the JLW branch in Hong Kong, and was reported to be making a yearly salary of HK$10 million.
Leung became the real estate advisor for Zhu Rongji when Zhu was Mayor and Party chief in Shanghai from 1987 to 1991. Zhu Rongji later became the Vice-Premier and then the fifth Premier of the People's Republic of China from March 1998 to March 2003. Later, in 2013, Leung appointed Levin Zhu Yunlai, the elder son of former premier Zhu Rongji, as an advisor in the Hong Kong Government's Financial Services Development Council.
