In the released photos, Hung was traveling alone in a wheelchair that he seemed well-adjusted to. A plastic bag was hanging on the back of his wheelchair, suggesting that he may be returning home after grocery shopping.

After checking his wheelchair, Sammo Hung headed to the streets alone. Netizens praised his determination to manage independently without relying on others.

Sammo Hung married a Korean actress in 1973 but they later divorced in 1994. He then married former Hong Kong actress Joyce Mina Godenzi. He has three sons and one daughter. It remains to be seen whether Sammo Hung will be able to return to the screen in good health.
