Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, shared a few photos in an Instagram post on Wednesday night, including a half-body shot of him sitting in a white T-shirt, with a significant surgical scar near his collarbone from a tracheotomy. His facial features were playfully altered with a filter that magnified his eyes and mouth.
“It’s me,” Li wrote in the post. “I was so encouraged by something the daughter of a glasses shop owner said [on Tuesday]. I wanted to share a few recent small moments that have lifted my spirits and see if I can get some positive energy from all of you.”
Li’s post also featured items on his desk, pictures of a sunset and AI-generated cat images.
The post was liked by about 38,000 Instagram users within 13 hours. Other artists, including Kay Tse On-kay and some members of the Hong Kong girl group Collar, also left comments.
