Lee was born in Guangzhou, China. He was first elected to the Eastern District Board in 1985. In the same year when the indirect election for the Legislative Council was first introduced, he was elected to the council through the East Island electoral college consisting of members of the Eastern and Wan Chai District Board. He ran for reelection in 1988 but was defeated by Chan Ying-lun.

He joined the United Democrats of Hong Kong, the first major pro-democratic party in 1990 but quit in 1991.[1]

Mr. Desmond Lee has a son call Andrew Lee, who specialises in accounting. He represented the Tanner constituency in the Eastern District[2] until standing down in 2015.[3]
