Li Ka-shing was born on July 29 to a scholarly family in the ancient city of Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong Province, China. His father Li Yunjing was a primary school principal

When Japanese troops invaded Chaozhou in 1939, factories were closed and schools were suspended. In the winter of 1940, Li Yunjing fled his native land with his family to avoid the perils of war. They arrived in Hong Kong, which also fell under Japanese occupation in the early 1940s.

The Li family faced a hard life in Hong Kong as the economy collapsed under Japanese occupation. Li Ka-shing’s mother returned to Chaozhou with her younger son and daughter, while Li Ka-shing and his father stayed in Hong Kong. Li Yunjing contracted tuberculosis and was hospitalized. With little medical treatment available, he passed away. Li Ka-shing was then forced to take up a full-time job in a watch strap company to support his family.

Li Ka-shing became a wholesale salesman in a plastics watch strap company on Ko Shing Street, toiling for 16 hours a day. A firm believer that knowledge can reshape destiny, Li Ka-shing learned not only the ins and outs of the plastics industry, but also continued to study on his own by buying used textbooks.

At the age of 22, Li Ka-shing decided that it was time to start his own business. With start-up capital of HK$50,000 from his savings and money he borrowed from friends and relatives, Li Ka-shing founded Cheung Kong Plastics Company, named after the great Yangtze River, whose amalgamated network of smaller streams reflected his belief in the power of combined efforts. He made a pr1957
In the beginning, Li Ka-shing focused on making plastic toys and daily household products, as they were durable and

    The Murder case of Hae Min Lee is a flawed one, it lacks not only physical evidence, but a good reasoning on why they thought Adnan Syed killed his ex-girlfriend. This case gained only local interest until in 2014 Sarah Koenig who created a podcast called, “Serial” , where she did years of research to try, and find the truth but she came to a lot of dead ends. The information only led to more questions about the case. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent, and there was never a good of enough reason for him to be charged with the murder.

    In December of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army overtook China's capital, Nanking and slaughtered 300,000 Chinese civilians. The Japanese army raped and looted hundred of thousands of people using inhumane and barbaric methods. This event is referred to today as one of the worst atrocities during WWII in the Asian theatre. The actions led by the Japanese exemplified China's weak military as well as their insufficient government, allowing for other countries to take advantage of later opening China into spheres of influence. Due to the Nanking Massacre, China culturally became more ethnocentric, politically decimated any friendly relationships with the Japanese, and became economically isolated. The invasion of Nanking began when the Japanese Imperial Army marched into Shanghai; the Japanese expected the battle of Shanghai to be quick and effortless, even stating…

    From 1937 through 1938, China had been a victim of not only many deaths, but rape and brutal torture as well. In the midst of heavy fighting, Japanese would still find time to, once a city was captured, take advantage of all that came with it. For example, Chiang was captured mid December and is known for being witness to the worst barbarity of the war. Japanese soldiers were turned loose to murder, rape, steal goods, and burn at will. It is one things to hear about horror going on, but it does not compare to seeing up close and personal as to what happened. When rabe was writing about his travel around the city he says, “It is not until we tour the city that we learn the extent of destruction. We come across corpses…

    The Prairies are often portrayed as cold, lonely and harsh landscapes. The people of the prairies are often depicted in the literature as strong and enduring but with a genuine frailty. The stories of Gabrielle Roy take no exception to this trend. Prairie inhabitants are often viewed as bored and isolated persons, tucked away from excitement. Gabrielle Roy’s short stories “Where Will You Go, Sam Lee Wong?”, “A Tramp at the Door” and “Hoodoo Valley”, explore prairie dwellers in difficult landscapes surviving their isolation because of the friendships and connections that help them through, but more importantly, the objects or landscapes that remind them of their past and allow them to move forward.
