Chi Wai Lai
Paraplegic Rock Climber
Chi Wai Lai, was once the world’s No 8 Rock Climber, 4-time winner of the Asian Rock Climbing Championship, and world’s first Chinese winner of X-Game. At the age of 28, Lai met a devastating car accident that rendered him paraplegic in the lower part of his body. Instead of wallowing in misery, he decided he would not allow adversity to stop him from pursuing his dream.
“ The King of Lion Rock”
In 2016, the 5th anniversary of his terrible accident, strapping himself to his wheelchair, relying on the strength of his upper body and his unbeatable determination and endurance, Chi-Wai strived to climb up the Lion Rock, a symbol of Hong Kong’s spirit – persistence, resilience and unity. And, he did it! He fulfilled the promise he made to himself that he will be back to the peak of Lion Rock in five years. This meaningful and stunning act attracted a vast amount of local and overseas media coverage and swamped many influential social press and online media.Chi-Wai is the author of ‘Climbing over the High Wall of Life’.
