Leung Chai-yan, the daughter of Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying, says her mother abused her on social media, allegations the Chief Executive denies.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday morning, Ms. Leung, 23, wrote that her mother, Regina Tong Ching-yee, “literally just pushed me up against a wall,” “slapped” her, and hurled foul language at their Government House residence. After being “kicked”, Ms. Leung stumbled and “hit my spine” against a table corner.

“What you see on the outside—in public—is not what you see behind closed doors,” Ms. Leung continued, adding that her mother has “issues” and should seek medical help.

“From this day onwards, I’m leaving home forever,” said the college student, who is pursuing her studies in the United Kingdom. “Never coming back.”
