Ambrose Li

Hong Kong dancer Mo Li Kai-yin has expressed gratitude to his father in his first social media post since he was left paralysed after being hit by a giant screen at a concert by popular Cantopop boy band Mirror in 2022.
On his Instagram account, the 30-year-old posted a photo of his father, Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam.
“Probably the only human being who loves me so much and actually cares about my every nano metre bit of improvement every single day,” the dancer said, ending his caption with a healing heart emoji and a smiley face.
The social media post has attracted 25,902 likes and 852 shares so far.
His last post, which showed three photos of him on stage, was made on July 27, 2022, just a day before the accident.

Last month, the father revealed that Mo Li was going through therapy “like a professional athlete”, saying he had lost all mobility and was currently paralysed in all four limbs.
“The treatment that he had gone through was beyond what ordinary people could imagine,” the reverend said.
Mo 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 ensure 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 found 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.
