"36th Chamber of Shaolin" Chinese Theatrical Poster
Two years ago, martial arts action star Gordon Liu (36th Chamber of Shaolin, Kill Bill) was sent to the hospital in critical condition after a rumor broke out that he had slipped and hit his head.
After much speculation, one thing was certain: he had suffered a stroke which resulted him being paralyzed on his right side.
Since then, there have been reports that Liu had become critically depressed and reclusive, fearing that his “big hero” image would be tarnished if his fans saw him in a wheelchair. In addition, Liu has distanced himself from his family, claiming that they’re after his money, pressuring him to release his financial assets under their name.

Jeez, hope he’s ok.
Yeah, this is really unfortunate news. I hope he makes a quick recovery.
“His head crashed into a nearby stairway, resulting in a 5-inch wound on the left side of his head. He was sent immediately to the hospital for treatment.
After his stroke, Gordon’s right hand and leg suffered immobility and he now requires a wheelchair. He also experienced speech impairment. Gordon will require long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation treatment”
Get well Gordon Liu! You are the master of the 36th chamber. I send you my best wishes in the recovery process! Hopefully Gordon can recover some of the feeling in his body and start working again.
Poor guy. 🙁
Helluva “lucky streak” Liu’s experiencing lately lately, huh?
heartbreaking isn’t it? when all your family want from you is your money and they don’t care if you get well. i would have done the same thing… walk away.
Praise Buddha… Gordon is safe.
I guess his work on Kill Bill didn’t pay him shit.
Gordon growing stronger again. Going to train, and get revenge on she devil lady.
