Biography.
Lam was among 200 guests from Hong Kong to be invited by the Chinese government for the 35th anniversary of the People's Republic of China in 1984. Thus, he reportedly became the first Catholic official from Hong Kong to be invited by to mainland China since the establishment of the PRC in 1949. The invitation was originally intended to be for Cardinal John Baptist Wu, the bishop of Hong Kong, but due to his prior commitments in Europe, the diocese recommended Lam as the alternative.
Lam served as sole vicar general from 1975 onwards, and alongside John Baptist Tsang starting in 1985. Both Lam and Tsang ceased to be vicars general in 1992, when they were assigned to the newly-formed positions of Episcopal Vicar for Religious and Episcopal Vicar for Social Services, respectively. They were succeeded by Dominic Chan and John Tong Hon.
