Mr Lam was born in the mid 1930s. He emigrated from the New Territories, Hong Kong to England, in 1960. He travelled by ocean-liner where he stopped on route in the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and India. After disembarking at Marseilles, France, Mr Lam Ying Kau took the overnight train to the English Channel where he caught a ferry to Dover. His frist job in the UK was working in a Chinese restaurant in Luton. In 1976 Mr Lam opened his own Chinese take away restaurant, after the arrival of his family. He retired in 1992.

Before his retirement, Mr Lam worked with various Chinese organizations, promoting Chinese "mother-tongue" teaching. He now lives in north Kent.
