Appendix
With a population of around eight million people, Nantong is a small city by Chinese standards - what is known as a "second-tier" city. But it is a place with a rich and fascinati ng industrial, social, and cultural heritage.
In this book, author David Ferguson tells the story of the city of Nantong through the lives of one great man of the past, Zhang Jian, and thirteen modern business pioneers.
Zhang Jian (1853 1926) lived through one of the most volatile periods in modern Chinese history, encapsulating the Sino-Japanese war, the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the last emperor, and the creation of the first republic of China. Zhang played an active role at the highest level in all of this, as as cholar, a potitiaan, an industrialist, and an enlightened social visionar3t and Manthropist.
The modern business pioneers of Nantong have followed in Zhang's footsteps and beyond, crossing the world with their ideas and their entrepreneurship to bring development and prosperity to their home city and to the countries where they now live and work. All of them started with nothing in the early days of reform and opening up; all have gone on to buiLd diverse international businesses on every continent, covering textiLes, real estate, mines,manufacturing, and a whole range of other commercial activities.
