While many fans were concerned about his injury, he was spotted hiking at Hong Kong's highest peak Tai Mo Shan last Saturday. He looked in high spirits in a photograph with "Sister Lin", owner of Tai Mo Shan Kiosk. The photo was uploaded on the food kiosk's Facebook page last Saturday. It was accompanied by the caption: "Fat Gor (Big Brother Fat) said he is fine and has continued filming, as he urged everyone not to be worried."
