Biography
Gunawan was born on 18 June 2004 in Hong Kong,[4] to Chinese-Indonesian parents.[5] His father played for the provincial badminton team when he was in Indonesia.[6] He became interested in badminton and started learning the sport at four years old after watching the Lee-Lin rivalry during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[6] As a child, he and his father would go to the local sports center every Sunday to practice, and he eventually made the Hong Kong junior badminton team.[7] Lee attended Diocesan Boys' School,[7] and won the Jing Ying All-School competition twice in a row.[6][8] He dropped out in Form 4 to train as a full-time athlete at the Hong Kong Sports Institute.[6] Three months later, he won the men's singles event at the 2020 National Championships, becoming the youngest player to do so at the age of 16.[9][5] However, the Sports Institute was eventually shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[9] forcing Gunawan to take a three-year hiatus from training and only return to competitive sports in May 2022.[5]
