Mr. Wong Cheung, the visionary behind Cheung Lee, first mastered the traditional craft of gold gilding at Wong Sum Kee, a distinguished Buddha statue workshop. He later founded his own establishment, Cheung Lee, which has now endured for more than 50 years, dedicating its expertise solely to the application of authentic gold leaf onto wooden objects.

Today, Cheung Lee is helmed by the founder’s wife, Mrs. Wong, and the second-generation brothers Wong Yin Fat and Wong Yin Bong. Wong Yin Fat trained under his father for over 20 years and has truly mastered the craft. Cheung Lee was entrusted by the Hong Kong Government with a significant honour: regilding the Forever Blooming Bauhinia Sculpture 4 times  between 2000 and 2018.  

Wong Yin Fat stands as one of Hong Kong’s last traditional gold gilding masters, renowned for his exceptional skills in creating diverse luminous effects – from matte to semi-gloss and gloss finishes – across varied mediums.
