Looking back on the extraordinary 70 years of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the HKBU Foundation (the Foundation) wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to all those partners who have journeyed alongside the University through its challenges and triumphs. Your generosity shines like warm beams of light, constantly illuminating each step made in HKBU’s growth and transformation.

In celebration of the University’s 70th anniversary, the Foundation is proud to present a series of donor stories that chronicle the profound bonds and significant contributions made by HKBU’s esteemed benefactors. The story of this issue is dedicated to the late Dr. the Hon Lee Shau Kee, GBM, Founder of Henderson Land Development Company Limited.

Dr. Lee was renowned for his outstanding business leadership and philanthropy. A long‑time supporter of HKBU since 1983, Dr. Lee made substantial donations to advance the University’s endeavours over the years. Notably, he made a mega gift of HK$100 million in support of the University’s strategic development in 2019, particularly its Creative Media and Practice Research Cluster. His generous contributions have made a profound and lasting impact on the University.
