Lo Hoi-ying

A Hong Kong dancer left paralysed after being struck by a giant screen at a concert by popular boy band Mirror has for the first time shown himself moving independently in a wheelchair since the accident 3½ years ago.
Mo Li Kai-yin, 31, shared an Instagram video on Saturday of him operating an electric wheelchair with the caption, “A 90 per cent introvert be like:” followed by a bashful emoticon.
In the clip, he appeared to be in good spirits as he steered the wheelchair using his right hand. Upon noticing someone filming him, he shyly reversed away.
He added the hashtag “please let me go” and joked in the caption: “Extra motivation to train for driving: To get away from the crowd.”
Li also playfully tagged three friends, including Canny Leung Hoi-ching, who was another dancer for Mirror at the concert where the accident happened.
Saturday’s video marked the first time Li has shared a video that showed clearly his ability to move since his injury.
The footage reveals a breathing stoma in his neck and shows him wearing a mask while performing movements such as lowering his head, shaking his head and moving his right arm.
The video quickly drew widespread attention and encouraging comments, garnering more than 4,000 likes within just 20 minutes of being posted.

Mo suffered serious spinal cord injuries after a four-by-four-metre (13-by-13-foot) overhead video screen weighing 560kg (1,235lbs) crashed to the stage after a supporting cable broke at the Hong Kong Coliseum on July 28, 2022.
The update on his condition on Saturday followed a social media post in mid-February showing him holding a stick upright and moving it around, which he said would help strengthen some of the muscles required for using an electric wheelchair.
He revealed then that he had been able to do such movements since December.
In a prayer letter posted on social media on March 1, his father, Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam revealed that he posted his biweekly prayer letter late as he has been facing repeated concerns from doctors about a potential chronic cardiovascular issue.
The older Li has been posting prayer letters regularly since the accident giving updates on the treatment.
The reverend said that he faced uncertainty about whether his body could endure the strain, how much longer he could walk this path with his son and how the future would unfold.
In another letter posted on February 15, he said his son has regained some mobility in his right arm and sensation when answering the call of nature, with the help of technology and his religious beliefs.
