At the age of 12 years, Ciputra become orphans. By Japanese occupation forces, his father, Tjie Siem Poe, accused of anti-Japanese, arrested, and died in prison. “My father is still looming wave of her hand on eyelids, and she cried still ringing in the ears,” he said wistfully.

In 1997 came the economic crisis. The crisis hit the three groups led by Ciputra: Jaya Group, Metropolitan Group and Ciputra Group. But with strong life principles Ciputra able to go through it very well. Ciputra is always the principle that if we work hard and do it right, God would open the road.
