Gordon Liu Suffers Stroke and Becomes Disabled
By Jayne on October 26, 2011
Renown martial arts actor, 56-year-old Gordon Liu (), suffered a stroke earlier, leading to the Kill Bill star becoming significantly disabled and dependent upon a wheelchair. Due to the incident, Gordon became severely depressed. Recently, his morale increased due to encouragement from loved ones.
In earlier news, it was reported that while participating in a band practice in To Kwa Wan in early August, Gordon fell and hit his head. Since the incident, Gordon halted all his work. In the latest issue of Next Magazine, it was clarified that on that fateful day, Gordon had in fact suffered a stroke, causing him to fall down. His head crashed into a nearby stairway, resulting in a 5-inch wound on the left side of his head. He was sent immediately to the hospital for treatment.
After his stroke, Gordon’s right hand and leg suffered immobility. He also experienced speech impairment. Gordon will require long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation treatment.
How tragic.

This makes me sad. I hope there’s a chance for him to rehab back to as normal as possible.
It is possible to come back fully albeit rare. Alot depends upon the amount of damage and the strength of will of the individual. The brain can compensate for injury by retraining other parts to do similar tasks, however, it is like being a child again and most people can’t get past their sadness and feelings of hopelessness that are also a consequence such a traumatic loss of independence and abilities.
Good Luck Gordon!

My father is a stroke victim. My sympathies for Gordon, his family and friends.
Really sad. especially, “Due to the incident, Gordon became severely depressed.” I knew it was bad, otherwise we’d have heard more sooner.
Hope he’ll rise to meet this challenge like the hero we know he is. I don’t care if he can do kung fu like a pro again, just hope for him to be happy.

Renowned martial arts actor Gordon Liu has suffered a stroke, reported Hong Kong’s Next magazine.
The magazine revealed the kung fu star had a stroke during band practice early August, causing him to fall and hit his head on a stairway.
He was sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
The 56-year-old Kill Bill star was said to be in a severely depressed mood after the stroke, but was recently seen to be more cheerful after receiving encouragement from family and friends.
Gordon’s right hand and leg are immobile and he is currently wheelchair-bound. His speech is also impaired.
Gordon started training at Lau Cham’s martial arts school of Hung Gar discipline when he was eight.
He entered showbiz in 1973 after participating in a kungfu movie funded by Lau Cham’s son - popular action choreographer Lau Kar-leung.
Although he was given the role of Wong Fei Hung in Challenge of the Masters in 1976, Gordon only shot to fame as a Shaolin hero in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, two years later.
He has participated in nearly 200 films and TV series.
Prayers have been said to Green Tara for help to Gordon and his clan.

There’s a short clip of him performing with his band on the ‘Elegant Trails’ featurette that appears on some of the Celestial/IVL releases of SB films. I forget which specific titles have it.
It was only a short fragment though.
