Daughter of Zhang Hanzhi and stepdaughter of Qiao Guanhua, Hung established a media career in the 2000s, gaining public attention for the contrast between her "red aristocracy" background and her irreverent, free-spirited public persona. She served as publisher of the fashion magazine ''iLook'' from 1999 to 2015.
