About Hui Ka Yan
Hui Ka Yan is the embattled chairman of Hong Kong-listed Evergrande Group, one of China's biggest and most indebted real estate developers.
Evergrande, which Hui took public in 2009, was officially labelled a defaulter in December 2021 and is struggling to repay $327 billion in liabilities.
Hui worked as a technician in a steel factory for 10 years after graduating college in 1982.
Hui started Evergrande in Guangzhou in 1996 and later took on a debt-fueled expansion that saw the company building more than a thousand housing projects across the country.
