The founder of Asia Media Company (AMC) and the Independent Broadcasting System (IBS), he is recognized as one of the most important figures in Tsengian media history, helping the country branch out from the TBS monopoly via the rise of Radio Gongshan in the 1970s and IBS' entrance into nationwide television in 1983, and encouraging the creation of other companies in media, including Tseng Television.

In addition, Yi was an important figure in politics. Known for his libertarian views, he was first elected as a representative to the National State Assembly in 1980, where he lobbied for television licenses for his company. Yi served as the Minister of Industry from 1991 to 1994 and the Governor of Tseng City-Capital from 1994 to 2002. Yi is considered to be the one of the main architects of the Reforms of 90, being one of its most vocal supporters.

Early life
Yi was born into complete poverty on the outskirts of Der Willemstad in Dutch Tseng. The youngest out of eight children, he and one older sister were the only ones able to finish their education as all others had dropped out to support the family. Due to Yi's circumstance and smarts, he was able to gain a scholarship to the prestigious Huang-li University in Tseng City.
