LAW Wai-cheung, also known as Ah Cheung, was a stalwart in Hong Kong’s history of disability advocacy. Born with quadriplegia, Ah Cheung never let his disability define him or limit his potential. He dedicated his life to pursuing independent living while tirelessly fighting for disability rights.
“Despite being born with a disability and lacking resources, he never let that stop him from learning and helping others in need,” said Ruby Yang. “His close relationship with his mother deeply resonated with me.” Ruby Yang believes Ah Cheung’s life story reflects the resilient spirit of Hong Kong and deserves to be widely recognised.
Director So Ka Ue documented Ah Cheung’s daily life up close during his final two years, recounting stories of his incredible journey. She collaborated with Wong Weng Chon (John Wong), an award-winning animation director from Macau, to re-enact Ah Cheung's early life and the profound bond between him and his mother.
The film also highlights the evolution of disability rights in Hong Kong over the decades. Ah Cheung’s story, along with his spirit and vision, is an inspiration for generations to come.
羅偉祥(祥仔)是香港殘疾人士權益發展歷史上的里程碑人物。他患有先天性大腦麻痺症、四肢難以動彈,卻從未接受身心殘障的限制,更積極為殘疾人士爭取權益,活出勵志人生。
「雖然天生殘障、出身貧困,但祥仔從未因此停下學習和幫助他人的步伐。他和母親之間的真摯感情令我深有共鳴。」楊紫燁認為祥仔的人生故事反映了香港人堅毅不屈的精神,他的事蹟值得廣為傳頌。
導演蘇家榆近距離拍攝了祥仔生命最後兩年的生活起居,由祥仔自述,將他跌宕起伏的經歷娓娓道來。澳門得獎動畫導演黃榮俊則以充滿童趣和夢幻色彩的動畫片段,展示祥仔的童年生活和成長故事,呈現他和母親的深厚感情。
電影《無拘飛祥》不單紀錄祥仔的傳奇人生,亦展現了香港數十年來殘疾權益和社會的變遷,是一部傳遞希望和勇氣的作品。
