Martial art action star Gordon Liu (Lau Ka Fai) suffered a stroke three years ago. Due to hemiplegia on the left side of his body he needed full time care; earlier the 16 month long case against his former assistant Eva Fung Ying Wa to return 1.95 million was settled Thursday. The entire amount was returned to him. Originally he was very happy, but at night when he learned that his son Sin Chun Lung appeared in court with his former assistant he gorged himself on food, got sick and rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night. The next day he was released.

Yesterday reporters contacted Lau Ka Fai's custodian Fan Yik Man for an understanding of his current condition. Fan Yik Man said that Lau Ka Fai after his stroke would become easily emotional. Sometimes he would decline to eat. Lately he would gorge himself as an emotional release. He practiced martial art, which he could no longer do. He also had no energy to scream as a release, all he could do was gorging himself. This was not the first time he was hospitalized for nausea. The doctor pointed out that it was not related to how much or little he ate. In the past he would be upset after seeing the lawyers and mentioned his family, then he would vomit; this time was particularly severe.

Fan Yik Man said that she kept the fact that she saw his son at court from him. At night he came in contact with other residents at the home. Someone comforted him to not be upset about his son and the entire matter was exposed. He vomited many times repeatedly and the caretaker arranged for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. She immediately came to visit him and after examination he was released the next day.

Fan Yik Man said that Vinz Sze Cho Nam and a French fan came to visit him at the nursing home and his mood improved. When he took photos with Sze Cho Nam he even wanted to choose a handsome one. She said, "I told Brother Ka Fai, I am a pretty girl. Every time I am called to the hospital in the middle of the night I would look bad. I hope him not want gorge himself, get sick and have to be hospitalized again. He heard and laughed."

Fan Yik Man said that as a custodian she has heard a lot of talk. Some said that before the stroke Lau Ka Fai treated his children poorly, for which she had to remedy that for him. She said that in Lau Ka Fai's wallet was a photo of his children. He was very generous with them while he was very thrifty with himself, he bought A grade replica and even his mobile phone was a counterfeit. Before the stroke he had contact with his daughter from his previous marriage and even drank with his son in law. After his stroke no one was willing to take on the responsibility. Without allowances, his family has all vanished. Until the news of his hospitalization was revealed, his niece finally called and questioned why her uncle was hospitalized? Fan Yik Man said that in the future she will have to arrange for Lau Ka Fai's medical treatment and life. She will ignore all the other talk.
