Lai Enjue

Lai Enjue (Chinese: 賴恩爵, 1795-1848), also known as Jian Ting (簡廷) was a late Qing military general.

Lai fought the British in the Battle of Kowloon during the First Opium War in 1839 and was given the title of Baturu and an equivalent rank of Lieutenant General.

Ten days before the handover of Hong Kong on 1 July 1997, more than a hundred of the Lai clan descendants from different parts of the world returned to their ancestral home to mark the event.

[1] Lai worked directly under the orders of Emperor Guangxu and Lin Zexu, both prominent figures in the First Opium War.

The current Kowloon Walled City's "Dapeng Association House" forms the remnants of what was previously Lai's garrison.
