Lee Kuan Yew's China moments(1/12)

Lee Kuan Yew and his supporters parade in 1959 in Singapore. Having received a British education in his youth, the lawyer-turned political figure embarked on his political career after he set up the People's Action Party (PAP) with left-wing students and labor union leaders.

Dubbed "the founding father of modern Singapore," Lee Kuan Yew has paid 27 visits to China where he has established relations with Chinese leaders over three generations and witnessed the crucial moments of China's reform and opening up. (File photo)
