Cheng suffered serious injuries and went into a coma after falling
from a three-storey high platform during her good friend and fellow
actress Cherrie Ying’s pool-side birthday party, reported Hong Kong
media Monday.
According to Ying’s posting on her microblog, Cheng, along with
Ying, slipped and fell from the platform while they were taking
photos at the edge of a swimming pool at Ying’s 29th birthday party
in Thailand last Wednesday.
While the birthday girl got away with minor injuries, Cheng fell
unconscious immediately after a tree branch pierced through her
back and lungs.
Cheng was immediately sent to a local hospital for an emergency
surgery as her condition did not allow her to fly back to Hong Kong
for treatment.
The Cantopop singer only regained her consciousness two days
after the accident.
Responding to reporters through a message on Tuesday, Cheng, who
is still recuperating at the hospital in Thailand, said that she
was “Ok, not dead yet!”
While Cheng said that she is a “superwoman” and “will be fine”
in her microblog posting on Tuesday, she is said to be still in a
neck brace and in pain when she breathes.
Ying, who felt apologetic after the accident, posted a message
to “all those who are concern about Yumiko Cheng” on her microblog
on Monday.
“She (Cheng) was hurt because of me. I feel apologetic towards
her. Her recovery is my only wish right now,” said Ying.
Hong Kong singer-actress Charlene Choi, who acted in the movie
“All’s Well, Ends Well 2009” together with Cheng, also sent her
well-wishes through her microblog on Tuesday.
“Get well soon! I got a shock when I heard about your accident!
I will pray for you… Love you,” said Choi.
Cheng, who is still currently undergoing physical therapy in the
hospital in Thailand, had since cancelled all her assignments on
hand, which resulted in a loss of about RMB 4
million ($802,100).
