Lo Hoi-ying

Hong Kong dancer Mo Li Kai-yin has made his second social media post in a week, reminiscing about Christmas with his girlfriend before he was left paralysed after being hit by a giant screen at a concert by popular Cantopop boy band Mirror in 2022.
The 30-year-old posted on Instagram a pre-accident time-lapse video of himself decorating a Christmas tree with his girlfriend So Tsz-ching.
“My only wish for every Christmas [with So],” the dancer said on Christmas Eve on Tuesday.
The social media post has attracted 39,244 likes and 1,700 shares so far.

On Thursday last week, Li posted on Instagram for the first time since the accident on July 28, 2022, expressing gratitude to his father, the Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam.
In his caption, Li wrote that his father was “probably the only human being” who loved him so much and cared about every slight improvement he made.
His previous post, which showed three photos of him on stage, was made just a day before the accident.
The elder Li said in a prayer letter posted on December 21 that his son was starting to feel sensations in his spinal nerve, with hopes that his motor nerves would eventually be strengthened.
He also revealed in his letter that Li’s sensations and reactions in his left foot and right hand had increased during an acupuncture treatment recently.
“His ability to bear weight has also improved slightly. For example, his right hand can now handle 13 pounds while working on a pulley table,” the pastor said.
Dancer Li suffered severe spinal injuries after a four-by-four-metre (13-by-13-foot) screen suspended over the stage fell and struck him and fellow performer Chang Tsz-fung during a concert by Mirror at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

The incident left the dancer at risk of becoming a permanent quadriplegic, paralysed from the neck down.
Hip Hing Loong Stage Engineering Company, which was in charge of mechanical engineering maintenance at the concert, was fined HK$420,000 (US$53,685) in court after it pleaded guilty to six charges, including failure to ensure the safety of its employees, failure to make sure the installed equipment was safe and failure to notify authorities of an accident.
Two other businesses linked to the incident, Engineering Impact and the Studiodanz Company, were also fined a total of HK$352,000 in November last year.
Mo Li in February sued Studiodanz for compensation, which could run up to HK$3.5 million if the court finds his injury resulted in permanent total incapacity, according to the Post’s estimation under the law.
The dancer was also considering a separate personal injury lawsuit against the company.
The extent of the pending claim would depend on the outcome of a fraud trial implicating three project managers from the show’s principal contractor.
