Kwan Man Bun

A chapter in Beyond Market and Hierarchy, 2014, pp 135-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Yet memory of Fan lives on. Jiang Jieshi’s eulogy “Earnest and dedicated in practice” (lixing zhiyong) graced his memorial service, and Mao Zedong proclaimed him an “industrial pioneer to China’s credit (huagong xiandao gongzai zhonghua).” 1 Such was Fan Xudong’s selfless dedication to the common good that Hu Shi anointed him a modern day sage (xin shengxian) equal to any ancient ones. 2 Amidst foreign imperialism, Japanese invasion, and political chaos beyond the control of any of the actors in the period, Fan kept working: his enterprises were, in his own words, a never-ending struggle. 3 He was also remembered as a patriotic capitalist whose premature death was caused, directly or indirectly, by a callous regime. 4
