Post lot text

Y. C. Wang (1910-2012), a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, was a well-known Hong Kong industrialist. Wang studied in the United States and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Textile Engineering from Lowell Textile College. Upon returning to China, Wang managed his family business and co-owned flour and yarn mills with the Rong family. He later married into the Rong family.

In 1931, Wang was the youngest mill proprietor in the textile industry in China, managing two yarn mills in Shanghai. With his educational background, he introduced advanced Western management theories to China. Wang moved to Hong Kong in the late 1940s and founded Nanyang Textile Mills Limited in 1947, where he served as executive director for a long time. During the heyday of Hong Kong’s textile industry in the 1970s, Wang was a prominent figure known locally and abroad.
