Harry Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore, is now Senior Minister of Singapore's Cabinet.

1923 September 16 was born in an English-speaking Chinese family in Singapore, and his ancestral home was Dangxi Township, dapu county, Guangdong Province, China. I have been educated in English since I was a child. /kloc-admitted to Raffles College, the top local English school, at the age of 0/3,/kloc-admitted to Raffles College at the age of 0/940. After Japan occupied Singapore, I interrupted my studies and went to study in Britain after the war. When I was studying at the London School of Economics, influenced by Lasky's socialist theory, I gradually showed the tendency of anti-colonial rule. However, Lee Kuan Yew has always been known as an anti-capitalist. He said in his memoirs

After studying at the London School of Economics for one year, Lee Kuan Yew transferred to Cambridge University to study law, graduated from 1949, and then qualified as a lawyer. In the same year, he married Ke Yuzhi, an old classmate of Raffles College. 1950, Lee Kuan Yew joined the Malaya Forum, a group composed of local Southeast Asians, with the goal of striving for Malaya independence, and returned to Singapore to work as a lawyer in August of that year. 1952 became famous because postal workers who went on strike on behalf of Singapore negotiated with the government and established a mass base in the trade union, which laid a good foundation for future politics.

1954 10 10 In October, Lee Kuan Yew formed the People's Action Party (PAP) with some Chinese returning from Britain, local Chinese-educated leftist students and trade union leaders to participate in the first election held the following year. In this election, Lee Kuan Yew himself was successfully elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly and began to cooperate with the Singapore Production Party for independence.

1959, Singapore gained autonomy. In the first election of the autonomous government, the People's Action Party became the largest party in the Legislative Assembly, and Lee Kuan Yew became the Prime Minister. Since then, Lee Kuan Yew has always hoped to merge with Malaya to form "Greater Malaysia", so as to gain formal independence, and at the same time provide guarantee for Singapore's economic development, and finally eliminate the growing activities of the local * * * production party.

196 1 year, anti-* elements headed by Lee Kuan Yew broke with pro-* elements in the party, and Lee Kuan Yew insisted on merging Singapore with Malaya. 1In July 1963, Lee Kuan Yew reached an agreement with the Malayan government in London, and the two sides formally merged. After the merger, the Malaysian federal government and the Singapore government led by Lee Kuan Yew took action and arrested several senior officials of the Singapore Production Party.

However, shortly after the merger, the federal government and the Singapore government had serious differences on many policies, such as economy. As the governor of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew advocated the establishment of "Malaysia's Malaysia" in the Malaysian Parliament instead of Malay Malaysia, which caused the dissatisfaction of Prime Minister Tengku. 1964, racial riots broke out in Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew's government accused the Malaysian federal government of trying to promote "racial chauvinism". Malays enjoyed special treatment in the Federation, inciting Malays in Singapore to oppose the local China government, which eventually led to Singapore's withdrawal from the Malaysian Federation in August 1965.

After independence, Lee Kuan Yew actively promoted economic reform and development, and successfully developed Singapore into one of the most developed countries in Asia within 30 years. During his tenure, he promoted the development of Jurong Industrial Park, the establishment of provident fund system, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and educational reform. Today's Singapore government is famous for its high efficiency and honesty, and its people's living standards are higher than those of other Asian countries.

1990, lee Kuan yew resigned as prime minister, but he still serves as a senior minister in the cabinet until now. In addition, according to the board of directors of the Singapore Government Investment Corporation, which was first disclosed in 2003, Lee Kuan Yew has actually served as the chairman of the company since he left office as prime minister. The company is responsible for managing Singapore's foreign exchange reserves, but it has always been the most mysterious company in the country. He has always advocated "Asian values" and believes that Asian countries do not need to act in full accordance with Western values. Therefore, Lee Kuan Yew has always ignored the criticism of western countries on his autocracy and believes that western democracy cannot be imposed on Asian people.

Lee Kuan Yew and his wife Ke Yuzhi have three children: the eldest son Lee Hsien Loong later became the Prime Minister of Singapore, and the eldest daughter Jing He is currently the president of Temasek Holdings, Singapore's most important official investment holding company; Daughter Li Weiling is the deputy director of the National Institute of Brain Nerve of Chen Yusheng Hospital; The second son, Li Xianyang, is the president of Singapore Telecom.

Lee Kuan Yew (1892— 196 1) is a native of Li Donghui Village, Ren Xian Township, Yuxian County. In the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), after the July 7th Incident, Lee Kuan Yew actively assisted the Eighth Route Army Battlefield Corps to carry out anti-Japanese work. With Li Donghui Village as the center, an Anti-Japanese Mobilization Committee was set up to mobilize 25 young and middle-aged people to join the anti-Japanese guerrillas led by Sydney and offer more than 400 kilograms of grain. It was suggested that half of the nearly 654.38+00000 Jin of millet accumulated in the old village should be distributed to the poor peasants in eight villages.

In the autumn of 28 years, with the approval of the Anti-Japanese District Office, he served as an enemy puppet land tax collector. He took advantage of his position to make the surrounding villages pay less land taxes and deal with the enemy skillfully. In order to provide the anti-Japanese government with information about the activities of the puppet government, he appointed his eldest son (Li) and his second son (Li Qianzhen) as primary school teachers and did a lot for the anti-Japanese. Later, he was transferred to the anti-Japanese county government and joined the China * * * production party organization. In September 30, with the permission of the anti-Japanese government, Lee Kuan Yew became the chairman of the village maintenance. In order to get rid of Li Changren, a stubborn traitor, he persuaded Wang Yunsheng, a Japanese policeman, to cooperate with us, and used double agents to report Li Changren's rape of Japanese officers. A few days later, Li Changren was executed in the south wilderness of Li Donghui village. The masses are happy. At the end of 10 in the same year, Lee Kuan Yew used the excuse of "swallowing gold to kill himself" to trick the Japanese puppet troops and get rid of the position of defending the president. 195 1 year, lee Kuan yew was elected as the vice chairman of the standing Committee of representatives from all walks of life in Yuxian county. 196 1 died of illness.
