Lui Che Woo was born in 1929 in Jiangmen, Guangdong. He moved to Hong Kong at the age of four. At 13, he was forced to drop out of school due to regional conflicts.
Later, Lui switched to selling car parts. Later, he began importing second-hand heavy machinery to Hong Kong for construction projects, such as road building and quarrying, successfully earning his first fortune.
In the 1950s, he founded K. Wah Group and officially entered the building materials business, gaining the nickname “King of Quarrying.” In the 1970s, he expanded into the tourism and hotel industries.
In the new millennium, Lui’s Galaxy Entertainment obtained a gaming license in Macau, becoming one of the major casino concessionaires and starting his journey as one of Macau’s most influential casino moguls.
Dr. Lui Che Woo passed away on November 7th at the age of 95. His legacy, however, will continue, as evidenced by the massive footprint that the company has in Macau and its continual push for more.
