A Hong Kong man seriously injured in a Guilin bus crash appealed yesterday for community help for two boys left orphaned by the accident.

Cheung Chi-kin made his plea in Guilin People's Hospital, where he is being treated after breaking his neck and spine. He is waiting for a brace to be sent from Hong Kong before he can be moved home.

He expected to remain in Guilin for about a week but said he felt lucky that he and his three family members had survived.

Mr Cheung said he was saddened by the deaths of Hong Kong couple Choi Yam-hung, 43, and Hui Ping, 34, in Friday's accident.

'I know the couple had two kids. I hope that people can all do more to help them,' he said.

The couple's sons, Ching-hin, nine, and Man-hin, eight, remain in hospital with head injuries. They have not been told their parents are dead. Their grandparents, who arrived in Guilin from Shanghai on Saturday, are applying for a visa to stay in Hong Kong to take care of them.
