Li Ka-shing / 李嘉诚

Li Ka-shing appears in No.205 ⛵️ 潮汕往事：侨批、经济特区和没有等来的深圳奇迹 as one of the most prominent entrepreneurs with Chaoshan / 潮汕 roots. The episode uses him first as part of the opening contrast between the region’s merchant reputation and Shantou / 汕头’s weaker growth outcome.

His more specific role is tied to Shantou University / 汕头大学. The source treats Li’s support for the university as a major hometown contribution, but also uses it to clarify Diaspora Capital Return Limits: philanthropy and education can be valuable without being the same as large-scale local industrial investment.
