The Secret of Life: David Tang at TEDxHKUST

One could say Sir David Tang is a natural entrepreneur. He is the founder of the brand Shanghai Tang; China Clubs located in Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore; Havana House and Pacific Cigar Company Ltd (the exclusive distributor for all Cuban cigars in Asia Pacific). Among all his success and achievements, what really stands out and is outstanding about Sir David is his continuous efforts to project a desirable and positive image of China. Former governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, once said the following about Sir David: "He's one of those rare people who cheers the world up. Life, and Hong Kong, would be much poorer without him." In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
