Lee Kam Sheung, founder of Lee Kum Kee, was born in Qibao, Xinhui. Threatened by gangsters in his home town, he decided to leave for Nanshui and eventually opened a tiny eatery there. One day while Lee Kam Sheung was cooking oyster, he walked away without extinguishing the fire. After some time, an aromatic redolence captivated him. He looked under the lid of the pot and discovered a thick and brown oyster sauce. This dark liquid residue tasted very delicious and inspired him to pioneer the production of oyster sauce.
Lee Kum Kee Legend
Lee Kam Sheung started production of oyster sauce and founded Lee Kum Kee in 1888. Unfortunately,in 1902, the oyster sauce's plant was burned down. In response to this misfortune, he moved to nearby Macau and continued the oyster sauce business. In order to cope with the company's development, his sons Shiu Dang and Shiu Nan moved the headquarters to the more prosperous city of Hong Kong in 1946. In the early 70's, Mr. Lee Man Tat, Lee Kum Kee's third generation, was appointed Chairman of the company. He implemented a series of reforms and rectified business strategies and directions. His contribution aided the company in numerous breakthroughs.

In the 1980's, Mr.Lee Man Tat's five children, Eddy, David, Charlie, Sammy and Elizabeth joined the company upon graduating respectively, from schools abroad.
