這名治理亞洲最重要金融中心的人，在設法磋商出解決之道讓已籠罩香港11天的示威行動落幕之際，他這些日子大多窩在他的官邸，足不出戶，由隨從照料三餐。

The city government, led by Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, appeared to be headed for confrontation with protesters as recently as Sunday night, after he publicly demanded that streets be cleared for the workday Monday morning.

香港行政長官梁振英要求週一上班日清出街道後，由他領導的政府，直到週日晚間都還看來要與示威者正面衝突。
