Sketch artist KC Lee, who was given away at birth to settle a gambling debt, shares lessons learnt from his 'extraordinary life'.

“I had a childhood filled with sorrow. I was taken away just 11 days after birth, and I reunited with my biological family 54 years later, ” Lee said, adding that the reunion happened months after he'd made a wish in the Guan Yin temple on a trip to Tainan, Taiwan in May 2013.“My father gave me away to clear his debt. My father was a gambling addict and I was inspired by him to be a much better person, ” Lee added.

Lee hopes to inspire other sketchers to pursue their interest in art and he hopes his MBOR recognition will prove that sketching is a hobby and passion worth pursuing seriously.
