As Wikipedia notes, Patten's implementation of electoral reform in Hong Kong made him very unpopular with Chinese officials and the pro-Beijing media, who called him a variety of names in response: 千古罪人 / "sinner who would be condemned for a thousand generations", 三違反 / "triple violator", etc.

Among the Hong Kong public he was known by the friendlier nickname of 肥彭 / "Fat Pang".

He was the 23rd Governor of Hong Kong from 1958 to 1964.
