From 1988 to 1995, he became the governor of British Columbia, the first Chinese governor in Canadian history and the second non-white governor. As the second son of Dr. Lin Zifeng, the founder of Ka Wah Bank, Lin Siqi originally lived in Hong Kong and worked in Ka Wah Bank.

1967 after the June 7th riots, he immigrated to Canada with his wife and daughter, and made huge profits in the real estate market after some efforts. Lin Siqi is a devout Christian. In his later years, he devoted himself to charity and donated money to support the development of culture and education in Canada and British Columbia. Later, he was appointed as the governor of British Columbia. During his tenure, his main contributions included promoting local racial integration, participating in the creation of the British Columbia Medal, and receiving Queen Elizabeth II who visited the Commonwealth Games in 1994, and so on.

199 1, he came out from behind the scenes to dissuade Wen Dexin, then governor of British Columbia, who was involved in the conflict of interest scandal. Lin Siqi is Canada's first Chinese hipster governor, whose ancestral home is Jieyang, Guangdong.

Born in Hong Kong from 65438 to 0924, he is the second son of Dr. Lin Zifeng, the founder of Ka Wah Bank and Baptist College in Hong Kong and the 11th president of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. Lin Siqi is a Canadian Chinese. In the past 20 years, he was a famous China native. Dr. Lin Siqi first settled in Vancouver.

1988 received a notice from the Canadian federal government on July 27th, and was appointed as the Governor of British Columbia by Prime Minister maloney for a term of five years.

1On September 9th, 988, Mr. Lin was sworn in in the office of the governor of city of victoria, the provincial capital, becoming the first Chinese-Canadian governor since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Lin Siqi's ancestral home is Jieyang City, Guangdong Province.

1924 was born in Hong Kong. My grandfather Lin Shaoxun was a priest, and my father Lin Zifeng was a Hong Kong educator and financier. He is also the founder of Pui Ching Middle School, Baptist College and Ka Wah Bank. Lin Siqi finished primary and secondary school in Peizheng School in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

1947 graduated from Guangzhou Lingnan University.

1950 returned to Hong Kong, engaged in education, industry and commerce, and finance, and was the general manager of Ka Wah Bank.

Lin Siqi lived in Hong Kong until he was 44 years old in 1967. He wanted to buy a trust company on the verge of bankruptcy with C $500,000 in cash and Ka Wah Bank shares of the same value, but his family objected and he had to start his own business. At this time, he only had assets of 40,000 Canadian dollars, and moved to Vancouver with his wife and three daughters, ready to start his career. I'm afraid there are unpleasant things everywhere in the world. After he arrived in Vancouver, he couldn't find a job for a long time, and a family of five quickly spent more than half of the money he brought. Lin Siqi, with common sense and ambition, is not discouraged by adversity. While looking for a job, I entered the night school of the University of British Columbia to study real estate appraisal. As a man who is nearly half a century old, he still insists on going to night school under the pressure of life, which shows that his determination and perseverance are really extraordinary.

65438-0967 Dr. Lin Siqi immigrated to Canada and engaged in real estate production business. Because of good management and excellent popularity, I often participate in friendly exchanges between Hong Kong and Canada. He is particularly enthusiastic about social welfare and is respected by people from all walks of life.

Dr. Lin Siqi was awarded an honorary doctorate in law by the University of British Columbia in Canada and a title by the Canadian government. He is a man who is good at thinking without seeking fame. He believes that knowledge is closely related to a person's future and the prosperity of a country, so he attaches great importance to the improvement of the education system. He said: having spiritual wealth is the real wealth. There are two kinds of wealth in the world. Gold, silver and money are worthless if used improperly.

Dr. Lin Siqi worked in the financial industry in Hong Kong 18 years. 1967, he moved to Vancouver Center, Canada with his wife and three daughters, rented a one-bedroom suite and began to rebuild his career in the financial industry. After years of struggle, he became a famous industrialist, served as the president of Canada International Real Estate Company, and managed more than 30 companies including department stores and real estate companies, and finally achieved impressive results. With his superhuman talent and perseverance, Dr. Lin Siqi made British Columbia's political integrity and outstanding performance during his tenure as governor, which was highly praised by the Canadian federal government and loved and admired by the people of British Columbia.

Dr. Lin Siqi is an elite among Chinese hipsters in Canada. His impressive achievements are the glory and pride of the descendants of the North American dragon.
