Biography
- Lin Shu-hong was chairman of Chang Chun Group, one of Asia's largest petrochemical companies with plants in Taiwan, mainland 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.
