Lee Foo's family members were lost and died during the Japanese occupation of 1941 to 1945
Lee Foo belongs to the second branch of the Lee Clan in Nga Tsin Wai. His grandfather Lee Kwun Fuk had three sons. The eldest son, Lee Kam Chuen, was the father of Lee Foo and Lee Wing. The second son married a woman named Koo. He fathered a boy and a girl, named Lee Kwai and Lee Kan respectively. Koo later died of pneumonia. His uncle married another woman, Wong, from Shek O, and had two more sons, Lee Wah and Lee Lin, with her. Just before the fall of Hong Kong in WWII, his uncle died of pneumonia. Wong left with the two sons during Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, and was never heard again. The two children of Koo starved to death, while Lee Foo’s own brother was taken away by his mother and was never found again. The third son of Lee Foo’s grandfather was childless. Though he adopted a son, Lee had lost contact with him as well. Lee Foo was sad that most of his childhood companions had passed away.
