Starry Lee Wai-king, JP (Chinese: 李慧琼; pinyin: Lǐ Huìqióng, born 13 March 1974 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong politician. Currently holding the positions of Executive Councillor, Legislative Councillor, and Kowloon City District Councillor, she is also the chairwoman of the largest Beijing-loyalist party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB).
Born in 1974 in Hong Kong into a working-class family and brought up on a public housing estate, Lee obtained her Bachelor of Business Administration from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Master of Business Administration from the University of Manchester. She became a professional accountant, working for the KPMG in Hong Kong and is currently the principal at the CCIF CPA Ltd.
Lee first stood for the District Council elections in 1999 for the Kowloon City District Council, the neighbourhood where she lived. She was elected when she was 26, the youngest district councillor at that time. She joined the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong when she was approached by the former party chairman Tsang Yok-sing around 2004. She was asked to become the part of Tsang's team in the following Legislative Council election in September 2004. She was listed third on the candidate list and helped Tsang to win a seat in the Kowloon West.
Subsequent emissions from a frozen galaxy*
At the whim of time
Space and the laws of physics
All that will be left are fading ghosts
Of distant galaxies
Each an afterimage
Preserving a final moment
As a swarm of stars
Slips into a netherworld
Of cosmic invisibility
Bound to the force of destruction
The point of no return
For these galaxies
In a event horizon
The hypothesized sphere
Around a black hole
Beyond which nothing
Not even light, can escape
Matter falling into the eye of
