Sir Robert Hotung acquired the then loss-making Kung Sheung Daily News in 1929, shortly after its founding.^[1]^:308 Under Hotung, by the 1950s, it had become one of the three major Chinese language newspapers in Hong Kong (the other two being Sing Tao Daily and Wah Kiu Yat Po (Chinese: 華僑日報), according to the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong.^[4]

Shortly after the memorandum of Sino-British Joint Declaration was exchanged, The Kung Sheung Daily News ceased publication, saying it was loss-making and faced difficulties to continue.^[1]^:312
