Kyai Ronggo Ngabehi Soero Pernollo (1720 – 1776), or Surapernala, born Han Tjien Kong, was a Chinese-Javanese nobleman, government official and ally of the Dutch East India Company. He founded the senior Muslim branch of the Han family of Lasem, a branch that became part of the Javanese priyayi, or aristocracy, and distinguished itself in the history of East Java.
Han Tjien Kong was born in 1720 at Lasem, a port city in Central Java, to Han Siong Kong (1672 – 1743), a Chinese migrant of ancient lineage, and an unnamed mother of at least part-native ancestry. He had four brothers, including the younger Han Bwee Kong, Kapitein der Chinezen (1727 – 1778). Han Tjien Kong converted to Islam at an unknown date, and subsequently assumed the Javanese name of Soero Pernollo.
Sometime in the mid-eighteenth century, Soero Pernollo moved to East Java, at the time still a frontier territory contested by the Dutch East India Company, the Mataram Sultanate and the Balinese princely state of Mengwi. He entered the service of Hendrik Breton, a senior official of the Company. Breton held the post of Resident of Rembang, and was promoted in 1763 to Opperhofd van den Osthoek, or 'High Head of the Eastern Salient', before his eventual elevation in 1768 to the powerful Raad van Indië. Throughout this period, Soero Pernollo was Breton's right-hand man, initially as gezaghebber, or overseer, of three merchant ships, then as harbourmaster of Surabaya, the most important commercial entrepôt in East Java.
