Dr. Lee Yiu-fai joined the charitable organization Sik Sik Yuen in 1985 and has been serving in a voluntary capacity ever since, holding multiple positions on its Board of Directors. He served as Chairman from 2007 to 2011 and has been elected as the Abbot of Wong Tai Sin Temple since 2006. Throughout his tenure, Dr. Lee has dedicated himself to promoting virtuous conduct, disseminating moral teachings, advancing education, providing medical assistance, and supporting elderly care—all guided by the compassionate and benevolent teachings of Wong Tai Sin. Each year, these efforts directly benefit over 100,000 individuals.
Dr. Lee has also been instrumental in promoting cultural heritage and the preservation of traditional practices. In 2014, he successfully applied to the State Council to have the Wong Tai Sin Belief and Customs recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, significantly elevating its cultural status. Furthermore, Dr. Lee proposed and helped design the "Wong Tai Sin Belief and Customs Cultural Centre," aimed at preserving and promoting this valuable cultural legacy across all segments of society.
In 2025, Dr. Lee was selected as a Representative Inheritor in the Sixth Batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage, a recognition that underscores his profound contributions to cultural preservation and transmission.
