The gentle-mannered Lee, who currently runs a firm of architects, owns up to having been through a period of political fanaticism, saying: "Politics became all the rage, especially among young people, after the Torrijos government lifted the ban on political parties in the late 1970s, and permitted free speech."
「一九七○年代後期，杜里荷將軍主持的政府宣佈開放黨禁、實施言論自由，使得從政成為一股熱潮，年輕人投身政黨非常普遍」，個性溫婉，目前自己經營建築師事務所的李詩蓮，自承也曾有過一段政治狂熱期。
