Lee Kong Chian
Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lee Kong Chian (18 October 1893 – 2 June 1967), also known by his alias Lee Geok Kun, was a prominent Chinese businessman and philanthropist active in Malaya and Singapore from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was the founder of the Lee Foundation and one of the richest men in Southeast Asia in the 1950s and 1960s. He was also the son-in-law of Tan Kah Kee, another well-known Chinese businessman and philanthropist based in Southeast Asia.
==Early life==
Lee was born in Furong Village, Nan'an, Fujian, China, towards the end of the Qing dynasty. His father was Lee Kuo Chuan (). He received his early education in privately run schools in his hometown. In 1903, he came to Singapore, then a British colony, to join his father at the age of 10. Lee studied at the Anglo-Indian School and the Chongcheng School, which are now defunct.
Lee returned to China in 1909 to complete his education under a scholarship, but it had to end in 1911 as the Xinhai Revolution broke out. In China, Lee studied at Chi Nan College in Nanjing and later the Railway and Mining College in Tangshan, which was then one of the top colleges in China.
Upon returning to Singapore, Lee worked as a teacher at Tao Nan School and as a translator at a Chinese-language newspaper. In 1915, he joined the China Guohua Company owned by Tan Kah Kee, and became Tan's protégé. He was promoted to manager of the Tan Kah Kee Rubber Company in 1917. Three years later, he married Tan's daughter, Tan Ai Leh.
