In a blog post on his official website, Lau said he had spent all of Thursday receiving medical examinations before his doctor told him he could go home.

“I was in the ward, sitting quietly in my wheelchair and listening peacefully to the doctor’s explanation,” he wrote. “I couldn’t hear anything until he said, ‘you can go home now!’ I almost jumped up and hugged the doctor, but I couldn’t in my condition.”

“My dear family, my pelvic fracture has been recovering well. My spine, sciatica, muscle and tendon injuries have also been gradually recovering. Everything has started to turn into a fine day!”
