The four big families of Hong Kong (Шаблон:Zh)[1]Шаблон:Nonspecific is a term used to describe the four business families who historically rose to prominence and became influential in Hong Kong.[2] In order of influence, they are Li, Ho, Lo and Hui family.[2]

The founders of the original four families are Li Sek-peng (Шаблон:Zh), Robert Ho Tung (Шаблон:Zh), Hui Oi-chow (Шаблон:Zh) and Lo Cheung-shiu (Шаблон:Zh).[1] Of these families, the Lis and the Hos and their descendants are the two most recognized by regular Hong Kong citizens today.[1]

Other definitions

Victor Wan-tai Zheng, co-author of Grand Old Man of Hong Kong: Sir Robert Ho Tung (2007)[13] and Opium King: Lee Hysan (2011),[14] lists 10 "Wealthy Chinese Family BusinesesШаблон:Sic in Hong Kong" in his PhD thesis: Ho Tung Family, Li Shek-pang Family, Fung Pak-liu Family (note: Шаблон:Zh, co-founder of Li & Fung), Lee Leung-yick Family (note: father of Lee Hysan), Chau Wing-tai Family, Hui Oi-chow Family, Шаблон:Ill Family, KowkШаблон:Sic (Wing On) Family, Шаблон:Ill Family and Шаблон:Ill Family.[15]Шаблон:Rp

He also lists a number of families, including Wang Lo KatШаблон:Sic (Wong Lo Kat) and Lee Kam KeeШаблон:Sic (Lee Kum Kee), in a separate category.[15]Шаблон:Rp The thesis was later modified and published as Chinese Family Business and the Equal Inheritance System: Unravelling the Myth in 2010.[16]

Other authors have suggested new Four big families for the post colonial era. In this case, there are many more variants, including the Li Ka-shing, Kwok Tak-seng, Lee Shau-kee and Cheng Yu-tung families[17][18] or the Tung Chee-hwa, James Tien, Henry Tang and Rong Yiren families.[19]

Some scholars have gone even further by widening it to include the "big 10 families": Li Ka-shing family, Swire family, Keswick family, Kwok Tak-seng family, Pao Yue-kong family, Kadoorie family, Lee Shau-kee family, Cheng Yu-tung family, Chan Tseng-Hsi family and Ng Teng Fong family.[20]

Most of the latter members have been associated with the term "real estate tycoons" (Шаблон:Zh), a label made popular by Alice Poon's book Land and the Ruling Class in Hong Kong. In her book, she lists the Lis [Ka-shing], the Kwoks [Tak-seng], the Lees [Shau-kee], the Chengs [Yu-tung], the Paos [Yue-kong] and Woos [Peter] and the Kadoories as the powerful Hong Kong families who hold sway over local "property-cum-utility/public services conglomerates".[21] The Chinese translation of the book uses Шаблон:Zh as a section title.[22]

As of 2018, Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau-kee were ranked first and second in Forbes' Hong Kong's 50 Richest respectively, while Thomas and Raymond Kwok brothers, sons of the late Kwok Tak-seng, were ranked 4th; their eldest brother, Walter Kwok (d. 20 October 2018), was ranked 10th. Richard Li, the younger son of Li Ka-shing, was ranked 19th. Henry Cheng, son of the late Cheng Yu-tung, was ranked 49th. Some of the members of the aforementioned "new" families were also on the list, such as Peter Woo, son-in-law of the late Pao Yue-kong (6th), Michael Kadoorie (12th), the brothers Tung Chee-hwa and Chee-chen (17th) and Chan Tan Ching-fen, widow of Chan Tseng-HisШаблон:Sic (35th).[23]
