Chee grew up in Kowloon City and left Hong Kong around two decades ago. He returned to\u00a0capture family stone houses and the last walled village of Kowloon, which face elimination.<\/p>\n

He now lives with his wife in New York City and is a member of the National Press Photographers Association and the Camera Club of New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cIlluminating Hong Kong\u2019s tenacious energy known as the \u2018Lion Rock Spirit\u2019,\u00a0My Father\u2019s Kowloon City is an evocative tribute to the city and its people, \u00a0the local pride and growing pains.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Twenty\u00a0images are set to\u00a0be\u00a0exhibited.<\/p>\n
