Mirror concert mishap: wife of second injured dancer speaks about moment giant screen fell during Hong Kong show
- Wife of dancer Chang Tsz-fung says husband ran forward to help fellow performer Mo Lee when screen came crashing down during concert
- Recording by Chang’s wife posted online by key opinion leader because several media outlets had ‘falsely’ reported condition of dancer
The wife of one of two performers injured during an accident at a Mirror concert in Hong Kong last week has spoken about the moment a giant screen collapsed onto the stage, saying her husband’s fellow dancers had tried to lift up the monitor to save the pair.
The recording by Chang Tsz-fung’s wife was uploaded to the Facebook profile of Catherine Lui, an education opinion leader, who has about 10,000 followers. Chang’s wife told the Post that her family had authorised Lui to release her account to the public, while they focused on taking care of the performer.
Lui said she was asked to speak on behalf of the performer’s family because several media outlets had “falsely” described Chang as having been discharged from hospital with minor injuries. The Post has learned that Chang is currently undergoing treatment at CUHK Medical Centre.
“Chang could not see the LED screen when it was about to fall down … he ran forward and tried to help [Mo Lee Kai-yin] when he saw it happen,” Chang’s wife said in the recording, referring to the other dancer who was injured during the performance.
“He tried to hold the screen, but it was too heavy and he fell under the screen.”
She said her husband ended up lying under a corner of the monitor after trying to push it away, managing to partially crawl out. Chang’s fellow performers then lifted the four-by-four metre (13-by-13-foot) screen up, allowing the 29-year-old to free himself while he was still conscious, she added.
After looking over at Lee, Chang started to feel dizzy, his wife said.
