A group of Hong Kong Feiyue Dao practitioners took the initiative to contact Jay's family. They learned that the family had financial difficulties and urgently needed to raise funeral expenses, so they launched crowdfunding.

The group "Gravity Workshop", which actively promotes the Feiyue Dao movement, reprints the crowdfunding information, and the money raised will be transferred to the family's bank account.

Mr. Chen, a member of the "Gravity Workshop" group, said that Jay has been active in the circle for about 3 to 4 years, describing him as "smart, the fancy moves he does are very avant-garde, so new, and he is sure (of the movements), and no one can do it. Actions to do.” He is an excellent athlete, and his ability is definitely recognized by those in the circle.

Regarding this accident, a group of Hong Kong Feiyue Dao practitioners felt "very shocked and regretful. We believe in his ability and mentality, and he is definitely not a fluke and beyond his ability."

Since there are only a hundred people in the Hong Kong "Flying Road" circle, fans know each other. Mr. Chen pointed out that yesterday a friend and Jay went to Tsim Sha Tsui for training and witnessed the tragic situation. The whole circle needs time to calm down.

Jay is the only son in the family. Friends said frankly that after the incident, Jay's family "has a bad impression of sports". Apart from financial support, they are unable to care about the emotional needs of the family. I hope that other enthusiastic people will lend a helping hand.

Regarding the doubts about the Feiyue Dao exercise, he said that "different sports have risks, no matter if you are injured or otherwise, you have to take it if you like it", but stressed that "the Feiyue Dao is not the same as jumping on the roof, jumping on the roof is only one of the sports. It’s not all about exercise.” They regularly practice more than ground training in parks and public spaces, which can effectively improve their psychological quality and observation ability, and overcome fear.

He is convinced that Feiyue Dao does not mean "fighting for life", and it is precisely because of the misunderstanding among the public that the group will continue to promote this sport.

Mr. Chen hopes that the public can respect the deceased and their families even if they do not agree with or support the Feiyue Dao movement.
