Personal Image and Sartorial Preference
Leung has reportedly vowed not to cut his hair until the government of the People's Republic of China apologizes for the Tiananmen Square Massacre although he has denied this. His long hair has become one of his visual icons and a political statement—the same name was applied to troops of the Taiping Rebellion against Imperial China. His locks have only once been cut, against his will, when he was briefly imprisoned following a political action. He is usually seen wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt.
