He Shanheng's granddaughter hopes to see Hang Seng listed again during her lifetime

Yesterday (3rd) marked the 93rd anniversary of Hang Seng Bank. The granddaughter of one of its late founders, Ho Sin Hang, Ho Mei Ting, expressed in an interview with Hong Kong 01 that she feels a lot of reluctance regarding HSBC's privatization of Hang Seng. She mentioned that she has dreamt several times recently about her grandfather, sharing her pain and unease about Hang Seng being fully acquired and delisted. She feels helpless and regretful as a descendant, wishing to see Hang Seng listed again in her lifetime.

She believes that for the founders who personally experienced the bank run crisis and were forced to "sell" their shares, seeing the brand they painstakingly built, which carries countless memories for Hong Kong people, ultimately being completely acquired and delisted from the stock exchange is undoubtedly a heartbreaking outcome.

She also stated that during the bank run crisis in Hong Kong, her grandfather, in order to protect the interests of customers, sadly transferred his 51% stake to HSBC. She shared that in her grandfather's later years, he often dreamt of HSBC fully taking over Hang Seng, indicating that this matter had always weighed heavily on his mind
