Lin Shu-Hong

  • Lin chaired Chang Chun Group–one of Asia’s largest petrochemical companies, with plants in Taiwan, China and Southeast Asia–until the end of 2013.
  • He cofounded the business in 1949 with classmates Tseng Shin-yi and M.K. Liao, with only $100. He’s the only surviving member of the trio.
  • The name “Chang Chun” in Chinese loosely means “long spring,” and reflects the wish among the three that their bonds would endure.
