Wikipedia description:
Liu Hongsheng (Chinese: 刘鸿生; 1888 – 1 October 1956) known as the "King of Matches" and the "King of Wool", was one of Shanghai's leading industrialists during the Republican Period. Liu was one of China's most prominent businessmen, investing in the manufacture of matches and many other industries such as cement, coal, and wool textiles from the 1920s through the 1940s. Considered a "nationalist capitalist" by the Chinese Communist Party, Liu's family was one of the few pre-1949 industrialists that received protections from the government. Liu served as a representative from Shanghai to the first National People's Congress and was a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
