Bilingual writer Li Lien Fung died on Wednesday night at the age of 88. A generous woman, she celebrated her 78th birthday by presenting $500,000 to SMU to establish the Ho Rih Hwa Leadership in Asia Public Lecture Series to feature entrepreneurs, business and political leaders and later donated $1 million to set up the Lien Fung's Colloquium, which aims to enhance awareness and appreciation of cultural and societal issues.
