In July 2022, a devastating accident during a Hong Kong Boy Band concert Mirror shocked the world of entertainment. A 600 kg LED screen fell over the stage, seriously injuring the dancer and choreographer Mo Li Kai Yin, leaving him permanently paralyzed and ending his performance career.
Mo Li, once considered one of the best dancers of Hong Kong, has undergone serious catastrophic injuries trauma of the head and neck, cerebral hemorrhage and a c4 vertebra fractured with C5 misalignment with consequent quadriplegia. He suffered 10 complex surgical interventions to stabilize the spine and repair the damage to the nerves. Although the doctors were able to save his life, the dreams of the dancer to return to the stage have been permanently infinitely.

Three years later, Mo is hospitalized in the hospital, relying on the constant medical supervision. In his first personal update from the accident, Mo published a photo from his wheelchair, revealing a profound scar near his clavicle to repeated intubations. “Just being alive is a miracle”, He shared with the followers, touching the hearts of many.
The doctors have noticed slight muscle responses in the limbs, thanks to the recent treatments that involve an exoskeleton and plants stimulating the nerves, giving a weak glimmer of hope for a little mobility restoration. Mo is currently being rehabilitated abroad, with the hope of resuming a minimum physical function.
Tragically, despite the severity of the accident, the three main contractors responsible for the configuration of the stage have recently been acquitted after almost three years of custody. This sentence aroused public indignation and immense frustration by Mo Li’s family, who have presented an appeal. They are looking for 73,000 HKD per month in compensation for current care.
Mo’s father complained that the hospital became their “second home”. The family remains engaged in the second half of Mo, despite the legal and emotional toll.
Before the accident, Mo was a nascent star, known for his powerful and emotional choreography. Attracted national attention in 2018 through a reality show and later became the main dancer for Mirror. He was also preparing to marry his longtime partner, but since then the couple has postponed their permanent wedding.
Mo’s resilience in the face of the tragedy touched fans throughout Asia, making it a symbol of strength, perseverance and the human cost of failures of safety in live entertainment.
