About Lin Shu-hong
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.
