Early life and the Battle of Hong Kong

Tang was born in Hong Kong into a wealthy family. His father was Tang Chi Ngong JP, a banker. His mother 章順婉 was fourth wife and he was the second of four brothers. He attended Queen's College and St. Stephen's College.[1][2][3][4][5]

During the Battle of Hong Kong, Tang Shiu-kin was almost killed by Japanese forces in Happy Valley on 23 December 1941, two days before the fall of the territory. He, along with two other businessmen, was drafted to serve on the Hong Kong reserve police force and found in possession of helmets and trench coats. Along with other civilians and Nationalist Chinese officials, he was bayonetted by the soldiers and dumped into a drainage ditch.[6]

Philanthropy

It is estimated that in his lifetime Tang contributed at least HK$100 million (amounts at that time) for worthy causes.[7][8][9]

Family

Tang's eldest grandson, born to the only son of his 'first concubine', was David Tang, founder of the Shanghai Tang fashion chain, though Tang Shui Kin early on ejected the whole family with very little financial support, according to David Tang.[10]
