Paralysed Dancer Mo Li Embarks on Intense, Cutting-Edge Treatment

“It is a thorny path we have never walked before, one that may be filled with unknown ups and downs and trials,” the father said. “Yet, the destination points towards a precious, glimmering goal: achieving a limited degree of self-care and quietly gathering every ounce of strength in the years to come, waiting with hope to break through the limitations of life, bit by bit.” It was the 174th such letter since Mo Li was crushed by a falling four-by-four-metre screen 3½ years ago. The 500kg (1,102lbs) LED panel fell from the ceiling of the Hong Kong Coliseum during a Mirror concert in July 2022, leaving the dancer at risk of permanent paralysis. Investigations revealed that the main contractor misreported the weights of the equipment and components.
