Anson Lo has been known for working hard. Two nights ago while working on the film WE 12 (12 GWAI DOH) he had an accident during a fight scene, leaving him with a left kneecap injury. He did not ask to stop working immediately, but after toughing out a few more takes he finally could not hold out any longer, needed to stop and rushed home to rest. However with two films on hand he did not dare to take time off. After resting for several hours he worked on the Emperor Motion Picture DOH YUET JEH (MOON THIEVES) with fellow MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On. Due to the severity of his injury he had to slow down even when he got out of a vehicle and appeared to be in a lot of pain. Yet when he shot his running scenes he was still fully immersed, as he and Edan looked for a post office truck in a panic. When they saw the truck pass by they ran. With his injury he performed while trying to hide his pain.

When not in the shoot, Anson Lo had painful expressions. Aside from limping along while walking, he often had his hand on his waist. After finishing each shot, he would hold on to Edan tight to rest. Edan was glad to be his "human crutch".

Aside from the car chase, Anson Lo also had a scene in which he got into a vehicle and held the driver at gunpoint. Many fans were waiting on the set. When the vehicle drove out of the parking lot, Anson Lo lowered the window and waved to the fans.

During the shoot yesterday, not only "human crutch" Edan often helped his group mate but the crew also took great care of Anson Lo. Whenever the cameras stopped they would bring out a chair for him to sit and rest. Manager Sister Fa personally carried an umbrella for him and remained by his side. Around 4PM everyone left the location.

Anson Lo yesterday morning still posted on social media, "Over 40 hours of two sided productions begin." As he would challenge his personal limits, he said, "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations." He encouraged himself with this, but the injury was getting worse and worse. Yesterday afternoon he went to a Chinese medical practitioner for help and updated his social media with the latest news. He revealed that he got hurt two nights ago and thus left work earlier than scheduled, for which he felt very guilty. Yesterday he used his greatest tolerance for pain to finish the car chase and the truck scenes. After getting treated, he was told that he would be fine in a few days. Because of his injury, the production team has already cancelled the originally nonstop shoots so he could focus on resting. He said, "Thank you to the entire team for their understanding. At the same time I have troubled everyone. I am sorry." He also pointed out that he would shoot the dramatic scene first and told fans to relax. Although he was injured he would not forget to care about the fans and told them to take care.
