Boccia player Ho Wai-ki wins Outstanding Youth award
He Wanqi, a boccia player with spinal muscular atrophy who won gold medals in sports games again and again and became the world’s number one, created a legend. MAHBOOBANI Neeraj Ramesh, an Indian doctor currently working as a specialist radiologist in a public hospital, had a severe nerve injury in one arm when he was born, which limited his arm mobility. Fortunately, he received encouragement and treatment from a caring doctor. Inspired him to embark on the path of medicine. The two men inspired others with their fearless spirit in the face of difficulties and received the honor of “Top Ten Outstanding Young People in 2023”.
He Wanqi won two gold medals and two silver medals in last year’s Boccia World Cup, and won all the World Challenge tournaments, ranking first in the world. The achievements before her were so extraordinary that it was hard to imagine that she had ever wanted to end her life. He Wanqi suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, which affects her heart and lung function. She was hospitalized almost every year during elementary school and even had her throat intubated in the ICU. “I was lying in bed feeling useless, so I told my family, ‘I might as well forget it.'” But her mother worked tirelessly to take care of her and encouraged her to live well.
Later, He Wanqi got into bocce ball, and because she had to travel to different places to compete, she met many “heroes” who inspired and helped her. “No matter whether you are physically disabled or not, if you want to, try it. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Try your best not to regret it.”

Another winner is Ma Chengzhi, now a consultant at the Department of Radiology Diagnosis at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. His father is Indian and moved to Hong Kong in the 1970s. He uses interventional radiology to perform cerebral neurovascular surgery to treat stroke and other patients. He also introduces artificial intelligence to help diagnose brain hemorrhage scans in the emergency room.
Today’s success is not a fluke. When Ma Chengzhi was born, the nerves in one of his arms were severely damaged, leaving only 30% of the arm’s mobility. Fortunately, he met a kind doctor who treated him and constantly encouraged him. It took ten years of long treatment to complete the entire operation. This experience gave him the germination of his ideal of becoming a doctor, and he eventually worked hard to realize his ideal. Ma Chengzhi hopes that artificial intelligence will continue to be introduced to help patients in the future.
The list of winners of the “2023 Top Ten Outstanding Youth Election” was released yesterday. The other four winners include Gao Hao, Assistant Dean (Research) of the Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Zhang Weixian, a Chinese polar exploration and scientific research expert, and Zhang Weixian, a 2009 Miss Hong Kong champion Liu Qianting and saber athlete Lin Yancong.
