1909年 华商联合报 楊子三 之简介

君名逢年,號子三,福建海澄縣人,以附生入貲為郎。緬甸中華商會之立,即舉君為總理。時 先皇帝德宗景皇帝光緒三十三年也。其明年,乃舉為副理,而以曹君璧如者總之。至今年 今上皇帝宣統元年復舉為總理; 副之者即曹君璧如雲。陳君貽曰:楊君之為人,吾未之知。緬甸中華商會之以此見寄,亦未詳其事實。然以此求之,意必熱心愛國,能不為威武屈而尤能抱其文學經濟奔走海外,以提倡研究我中國人之商業求爭存於商戰而為同僑所推許者於虖。鐘儀南冠見稱左氏漢武之世,卜式以輸財助邊為郎,論者亦多稱之;以君較之或無讓焉。或曰曹君璧如亦熱心愛國者其行事多與君相類。

注:
1. 陳君貽 为华商联合报之主编
2. 缅甸商会成立前后即为清末政局动荡之际。 陳君貽行此文为辛亥前夕,字里行间(“不为威武屈”)多少透露海外商会权势动向也未免波涛汹涌。楊子三民国后回返故里,或许受此影响。
