Overview

Medan on Sumatra emerged from the large-scale plantation industry, whose harsh labor conditions often categorized it as a conflict model. In contrast, Medan itself maintained a relatively harmonious atmosphere. A significant factor contributing to this harmony was the influence of nine Chinese businessmen. This book, featuring previously unpublished archival materials and interviews, explores the contributions of these prominent Chinese figures to Medan's economic, social, healthcare, and politics.
