The exhibition took place at The Henderson, the group's new commercial building in Central. 'He seemed to be a nice dude,' Junker told the Post.

He was Hong Kong's second richest man and dubbed Asia's god of stock trading and a patriotic philanthropist. Pavel Pevzner, 69, said that he 'just learned' about Lee Shau-kee's past achievements and philanthropy through the exhibition.
