... that the tycoon Oei Tjie Sien (1835-1900) fought in the Taiping Rebellion before moving to colonial Indonesia, where he founded Kian Gwan in 1863, a company that later became Southeast Asia's largest conglomerate in the early decades of the twentieth century?

Hooks should be under 200 characters, preferably less. This one is 258 characters, so I struck it. Please provide a new hook and label it ALT1. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:18, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

The nominator has not edited Wikipedia since November 18. If someone else would like to take this on, please do, otherwise I'll mark it for closure. Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: It might be for the best to close this, the nominator still hasn't responded and it's been almost a week since your comment. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:11, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
