Biography

In 1993, he followed Yok Mu-ming since the Kuomintang, and became one member of the New Party.

In 1996, elected representatives of the National Assembly, when he was forty-three years old, out of the scenes, formally in politics.

In 2008, he rejoined to the Kuomintang.

In 2015, Lee expressed interest in running for the Kuomintang chairmanship, but his candidacy, and that of four others, was rejected.[1] The next year, he launched another bid for the party leadership, finishing third in a field of four candidates with 7,604 votes.[2]

On 28 September 2017, Lee died from jumping out of his apartment building. He was 64.[3]

Others

He was a member of both the New Party and People First Party,[4][5] and later joined the Kuomintang. Lee joined the 2006 campaign led by Shih Ming-teh which attempted to force the resignation of President Chen Shui-bian.[6]
