Biography

潘正煒(1791年—1850年),廣東十三行巨賈潘有度四子。熱衷於書畫、金石、古玩收藏,完全是讀書人的風格。1820年,潘有度病故,潘氏無人願接掌第三代行商大旗,最後由潘正煒接任,由於不熟悉商務,又不懂外語,正煒則委託別人料理行務。1842年,五口通商之後,不久同孚行停辦。

1840年中英鸦片战争爆发,英军侵入广州。他率先捐资26万银元,为当时广州捐助抗英军饷总额的八分之一。又独资购买吕宋战船一艘,捐作广州海防之用。在抗英斗争,家业惨受损失,从而赢得史册“毁家纾难”的赞誉。

1849年,英国人拟强占广州洲头咀作租界,他与几位士绅领衔联合城郊百姓抵抗。他先后以同文行、同孚行的名义捐助社会款项达百多万两白银。
