For a Chinese immigrant in SouthEast Asia to make good is not unique, but what is unique in Tan Kahkee's case is his enormous contribution to employment and economic development in Singapore and Malaya. He was the only Chinese in history to have singlehandedly founded a private university in Amoy and financially maintained it for sixteen years. He was the only Huach'iao of his generation to have led the Chinese in SouthEast Asia to help China to resist the Japanese invasion in a concerted and coordinated manner. Moreover, he was the only Huach'iao leader to have played both Singapore and China politics and affairs in close quarters, rubbing shoulders with British governors, Chinese officials and commanders. Finally, it is important to point out that Tan Kahkee was the only Huach'iao in his times to have combined his Pang, community and political power and influences for the advancement of community, regional and national goals.This is an indepth study of not just Tan Kahkee per se but also the making of a legend through his deeds, selfsacrifices, fortitude and foresight. This revised edition sheds new light on his political agonies in Mao's China over campaigns against capitalists and intellectuals. Moreover, it analyses more comprehensively the varied legacies of Tan Kahkee, including his successors, the style of his nonpartisan political leadership, his educational strategy for nationbuilding, social change and 'the Spirit of Tan Kahkee', currently in vogue in his home province, Fukien.
