Liu Lit-mo was a Hong Kong banker of Chaozhou ancestry, originally from Chaoyang, Guangdong.

He served as Chairman and Managing Director of Liu Chong Hing Investment Limited.[1]
Biography
In June 1961, during the "Liu Po-san incident", his father Liu Po-san was victimized by rumors, which caused a bank run at Liu Chong Hing Bank. The incident deeply distressed his father, who died of cerebral hemorrhage.[2] At the time, Liu Lit-mo was studying economics at the University of London. He dropped out and returned to Hong Kong to assist his elder brothers Liu Lit-man and Liu Lit-ko in leading Liu Chong Hing Bank through the crisis.
From 1961 to 1972, Liu served as Deputy General Manager and Director of Liu Chong Hing Bank. From November 1972 to February 2014, he served as Managing Director.[3]
In 2009, his elder brother Liu Lit-man stepped down as Chairman of Liu Chong Hing Bank due to old age, and Liu Lit-mo, then the Managing Director, took over as Chairman.[4] After the bank was sold to Yuexiu Group in 2013, Liu Lit-mo resigned from the board of directors but remained Chairman and Executive Director of Liu Chong Hing Investment.
Liu Lit-mo passed away on July 12, 2017, at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital at the age of 79. Liu Chong Hing Investment made the announcement on July 26.[5]
