Henderson Land launches Lee Shau-kee expo in Beijing

Henderson Land has launched the first mainland stop of “A Light Among Us – Memorial Exhibition of Dr Lee Shau Kee” at Peking University, running until April 16.

The showcase highlights the late Hong Kong tycoon’s life philosophy and spirit of generosity through cultural displays to commemorate the legacy of the group’s late founder, aiming to engage students and the wider community.

A selection of Lee’s personal items and photos will be displayed, revealing his close relationships with his family, friends and colleagues as well as cherished moments in his life.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Margaret Lee Pui-man, the eldest daughter of Lee and the senior general manager of the Portfolio Leasing Department, said her father emphasized the cultivation of talent and always felt honored to be able to contribute to the education of the country. She said the commemorative exhibition not only showcases her father’s journey, but also a gift for young people to draw their own strength from the wisdom.

The traveling exhibition will later be presented at Beijing's Tsinghua University from April 22 to May 25; Fudan University in Shanghai from September 5 to October 26; and the Shunde Museum in Foshan in November.

Admission is free, and the event is part of the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
