Cassie Li Pui-ying, a young musician who is visually impaired and suffers from a rare birth disease, recently took the stage at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Hong Kong. The performance, which took place in front of an audience of over 2,500 people, marked a significant milestone for Li, occurring just one year after she underwent a seven-hour surgery.

The event was organized by Live Theatre, an organization that provides a platform for visually impaired students to showcase their talents. Li’s mother, Marine Mak, is involved in the operation of the group. During the performance, Li demonstrated her skills as a drummer and vocalist, speaking to the crowd despite her inability to see the audience. The report highlights her resilience in the face of multiple serious health challenges, framing her participation in the Spirit of Hong Kong Awards-related event as a testament to her dedication to music and performance.
