Chan Tseng-Hsi (Chinese: 陳曾熙; pinyin: Chén Zēngxī; 1923 – March 8, 1986) was a Chinese entrepreneur who founded the real estate company Hang Lung Group.[1] Born and raised in Guangdong, China, he moved to Hong Kong in the 1940s because of the Chinese Civil War. In 2014, his sons Ronnie and Gerald donated $350 million to Harvard University, which named the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health after him.[2][3]
