He is co-founder of Evenstar Capital and he previously served as chairman of the Taipei Smart Card Corporation, the company which operates EasyCard.

He is the grandson of Lien Chen-tung,[1] and the great grandson of Lien Heng.[2] He has a brother and two sisters.[3][4] He is married to Patty Tsai.[5]

Political career

In 2008, Taipei City Mayor Hau Lung-pin appointed Lien as chairman of Taipei Smart Card Corporation.[15] Lien resigned as Chairman of EasyCard Corporation at the end of 2009, citing health reasons.[16] Assessments of his performance during this brief tenure differ.[17][18] [19]

During the municipal election on 26 November 2010, Lien was shot in the face at close range while stumping for Chen Hung-yuan, a New Taipei City Council candidate in the Yonghe District of New Taipei City.[20] Lien's wound was minor and he recovered quickly.[21] Lien disagrees with Taiwan judiciary's conclusion that he was shot by mistake.[22]
