Lee-Chong's father, Chong Lee Lam (known in Chile as Benito Lee Chong Lam), fled his native China to avoid the rising tensions between China and Japan, as well as the
Chinese Civil War, arriving in Chile in 1928. He went on to run a butchers shop in
Santiago, and had six children, including Luis, as well as
Óscar, who also went on to play football. His nephews
Jaime Carreño and
Felipe Lee-Chong, are also professional footballers. ==References==
