Past injuries

Compilation of reported bodily injuries that I recall. I probably missed some, so they are not on my list.
To reiterate, scars do not make a man seem cooler or more macho or more 'man', just more scarred, that all.

2013-9-28 Lately, don't know why, (my) face keeps getting hurt! Even accidentally falling asleep with glasses on could also cause a wound.... the nose injury just got heal and now yet another. (sic. injury) Haha! Actually, on the other hand, this seems to accumulate yet another trace of the passing years, quite cool, eh?  p.s Anyway, still have to remind you all not to fall asleep with glasses on, if eye(s) got poked, that would be bad. 





TN: May I just say that I really and truly don't get Steven's self-deprecation jibe that scars make men cooler or more macho.  He is so annoyingly predictable in that whenever his body or face got hurt he would play it down with that macho cool guy jest, which is getting old.  Real men don't need scars to look cool or macho, ok? Ok!

Updated 6-27-2013 Steven Ma Injured on set filming Property Protector

Steven Ma Injured from Accident During Filming, Grateful Didn't Go Blind
Wednesday June 26, 2013 Hong Kong

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net

Last night when Steven Ma was filming for TVB series Property Protector, he got hit in between his eyes by a flying fake gun that accidentally slipped out of his on-screen partner's hand. He started bleeding instantly. Producer Leung Choi Yuen sent Steven to the hospital immediately. Once Steven was treated, he was discharged and the producer helped him into the taxi to go home for rest. Steven will get back to filming as soon as his wound heals and his eye stops swelling.

Reporters later contacted Steven for details, he frankly expressed the left side of his nose bridge had a bone fracture and because he had previously injured his left eye before, it is now swollen. He said: "Last night, my left nostril felt stuffed because I had a nose bleed before and there are some damage inside. At the time of the accident, I felt a little dizzy and sat there for a long time before my spirit came back. There really was a lot of blood gushing out Ten minutes later, I called my assistant to bring a mirror over. But that moment when the accident happened, I felt so sweet at heart because Tavia Yeung helped me wipe away my sweat and blood. Raymond Cho gave me a glass of water. They were so anxious."

When asked who was the "culprit"? Steven frankly expressed it was not his partner's fault. "The scene was about my partner pointing the gun at me, then I kick the gun out of his hand with my right foot, and then he throws a punch at me. At the time, my kick was pretty powerful, his finger was still hooked on the gun and the gun ends up flying at me!" Steven gratefully said its fortunate his left eye was injured, otherwise if it was his right eye, he may have ended up blind. "Because when I was shooting A Change of Destiny in 2006, a horse kicked me in the eye and the retina in my right eye came loose. If the accident had happened on my right eye again, my retina can easily fall out and I'll definitely go blind then."

As to when he'll be getting back to work, it depends on his condition in the next 5 days. Steven will need lots of rest and cannot move around too much. He has to be extra careful when sleeping at night: "I was going to attend Pastor Enoch Lam's show this Saturday, but this impacted my singing luck, I may not be able to do a singing performance and can just be there to support him."

Steven posted a photo of his injury on Weibo and told everyone to relax, he joked: "The scar isn't that deep, it's quite cool (ying) actually!"

Steven's hurt on set, Property Protector

After his album press conference, Steven went back to film his series.  Unfortunately in that one scene his opponent lost his grip on the gun and somehow it got flung on to Steven's face hitting his nose causing it excruciating pain and and to bleed profusely. Steven was sent to the hospital and after x-ray, 2 nose bones are fractured.  Doctor said if the bones can't heal on their own, might have to do surgery.  Dang! And Steven is so proud of his natural beautiful nose, too and now possible constructive surgery? That got to gall him to no end. Poor Steven! Steven took a day off to rest at home.

Just as worrisome is injury to his eye -- the left eye is all swollen-- good thing not the right injured eye (by horse) cos' another injury can blind that eye -- his doctor's previous caution when that eye was injured at the time.

OPM- Injured Eye

Clear Newspaper
One Pen Ma column
May 31 2012
By Steven Ma

Action Scenes Rely on Mutual Trust
動作戲講互信

Many years ago when shooting "A Change of Destiny" my right eye was injured by a horse, and quite seriously, too.  And this time while shooting an action scene in "Yuan Yang Pei" (鴛鴦佩), my left eye got hurt.  Haha, one left one right, now finally a match.  Luckily this time it was not too serious, just a little bit swollen and a small cut that is now scabbed over, most probably will not leave a scar.  This is considered lucky already.

Actually, having been in this industry for many years now, getting injured while filming action scenes is inevitable.  Especially when filming ancient wuxia dramas, the injury rate is even higher.  Guns, knives, swords, staffs, face to face combat, or wire suspension etc.; even if the martial arts supervisor had beforehand implemented all the safety precautionary measures, and had also meticulously and carefully scrutinized the choreography of each and every action and movement, and had the action rehearsed numerous times prior to filming, but accident being accident will still happen; it maybe that the other party made a small mistake or that I myself miscalculate, either way one or both parties will inadvertently get hurt at any given time.

Anyway,  a collaboration with martial arts brothers has this one particular characteristic, which is, the majority of them are straight-shooters, and under the premise of mutual trust, regardless of who accidentally injured who, they will all without hesitation utter "No problem" (沒事); this kind of mindset, I truly appreciate.

Despite Left Eye Injury Steven Ma Persisted Filming, Director Praises His Professionalism.
马浚伟拍戏左眼受伤 坚持拍摄被导演赞敬业
On May 20, Steven Ma while shooting a fighting scene for a mainland tv series, Yuan Yang Pei (鴛鴦佩) , in Hengdian got injured in the eye.  In the scene, he was singlehandedly fighting several martial artists when he unexpectedly got hit on the left eye with a prop hoe, the injury so painful his eye instantly teared up and shifted awry his contact lens inside his eye.  However, the on-site crew were unaware of the mishap. Meanwhile, not wanting to hinder the shooting progress, Steven, after hastily cleaning his hand with a wet wipe, dripped some eye drops into his eye to flush his contact lens, which he then removed from the eye, rinsed it with some eye solution and then put it right back on into his eye.  After a 10 minute or so break, he returned to position before the camera and was soon immersed in the scene. Later on, Director Wong Ka Fai posted a an entry on his weibo commending Steven's professionalism.

Steven expresses: "At the time, we were shooting a fighting scene. I singlehandedly had to fight with several martial artists.  In the brief chaos, one of the martial artists' prop hoe hit my left eye.  My contact lens instantly shifted awry causing the eye to tear up incessantly.  I understand it was just an accident. No one's to be blamed. Especially when shooting a fighting scene, injury is hard to avoid."

引以為鑑
 Use Others' Experience as Reference

Earlier read the news about Carlos Ng's retina lining sudden detachment. Very worried because this could be serious problem. Only when I found out later that he was fine did I feel relieve. 

Actually, besides my worry for him, there is also this feeling of having experienced the same incident myself.  Many years ago,  when shooting, a horse riding scene in "A Change of Destiny", (tn: 2006) I had an unexpected accident. At the time, I was astride a horse for a scene shot, and the horse because of a blown leaf nicking its eye reflexively reared back its head, and this backward movement smacked right onto my right eye and the right side of my face.  And so my face bones on the right side were slightly fractured, and my right eye swollen to the size of a hen's egg.  At the time, the retina was also injured.  

The crystal fluid (aqueous humor) inside the eyeball was dispersed; the retina was slightly detached; the nostrils inside had accumulated blood; for now no possible surgery for treatment; the condition  had to get well on itself.  But if the flashes in the right eye suddenly increased,  go immediately to the emergency room.... This is what the doctor said to me at the time.


After some many years, the face bones have already healed, the right eye besides the eyeball being slightly indented and seeing occasional flashes, basically suffered no after effects.

Through Carlos and my experiences, I want to remind everybody to carefully protect that fragile window of the soul.  Of course, the same to all parts of the body after all having a healthy whole body is not to be taken for granted.

Steven Ma hosting a tv show was supported by a group of friends.  He reveals that he was hospitalized for two days because of a leg infection, which was earlier might be caused by flesh eating bacteria, but fortunately it was an ordinary wound infection.

Also, Steven personally made some homemade soup and brought it to share with all cast and staff.  Steven exerted that his soup had no msg and very nutritious.  And that lately he has taken too much western medicine (antibiotics) so the soup was just perfect for nourishing his body.

When asked why he consumed so much western medicine, he revealed that he hurt his right foot earlier when playing badminton, and it had become infected.  He said while playing badminton, his right sole became blistered. That maybe when he took a shower inside the locker room, his blistered foot was infected by the dirty shower floor, and became swollen and painful later on at night.   His doctor feared  infection by flesh eating bacteria and had him hospitalized for two days of observation.  Fortunately, the infection was of the common kind and did affect his walk.

But during his stay in the hospital, the doctor discovered he may have apnea.  Steven said: "I always have nose allergy and some trachea problems.  When the doctor told me I may have apnea, I finally understood why I sometimes felt sleepy in the morning, it's because I didn't sleep well at night.  So in two days' time I will check into the hospital for examination.

Foot Infection

source: on.cc; steven-ma.org weibo


Steven Ma’s leg has been hurting him for quite sometime now. Yesterday he weibo that his swollen leg was so painful he had to see the doctor late at night. Only then did he discover that the wound he got from playing badminton previously had become infected. The doctor worried that the infection might have been caused by flesh eating bacteria so had Steven hospitalized for observation. Fortunately, the lab report verifies that his wound is not serious. Steven wrote: “The report verifies that the wound is just an ordinary wound infection. It is much better now, but the doctor had me remained in the hospital to do a chest examination because he thought I may have apnea. “ 


TN: Apnea: Everyone has brief pauses in their breathing pattern called apnea. Usually these brief stops are completely normal.  Sometimes, though, apnea can cause a prolonged pause in breathing, making the breathing pattern irregular. Someone with apnea might actually stop breathing for short amounts of time, decreasing oxygen levels in the body and disrupting sleep.

3/9 20:19 Last night, because of pain and swelling in my lower leg, I went to see the doctor late at night.  The doctor said it could be serious because the wound from previously playing badminton had become infected. The doctor worried that it might be caused by flesh eating bacteria, so had me hospitalized.  Fortunately, the morning (lab) report verifies that the wound is just a common wound infection. It is much better now, but the doctor advised me to do a chest examination because he thought I  have apnea.  So can only be discharged tomorrow!  P.S. Friends who couldn't find me today, sorry!

TN: Guess Steven immediately weibo his hospitalization so that the media would not have a chance to hyperbolize his stay for something else more scandalizing.

Steven Ma Mocks Self as Hard Knocks Wai.

馬浚偉自嘲苦命偉 

source:  takungpao

Recently, Steven Ma has been busy shooting Leung Choi Yuen’s new series, “Thunder of The Forbidden City".  Because this series contains many fighting scenes, Steven’s character as an imperial bodyguard has to fight constantly from day to night, hence, during these few months or so, if not fight until his lower back hurt, then it was fight until his hands swelled up; just his thumb has been injured on the same position three times already.  “The right thumb is swollen, looks like a mandarin duck thumb.  Can’t visit the doctor for it until the shooting wraps up.”

Besides getting hurt, even Heaven played him.  Steven reckons that whenever there was a fight scene or a strenuous scene to be shot, the weather would sure to turn cold.  Earlier, there was this one scene whereby framed by others Steven was sent to jail, while in there, he was brutally beaten. Later, he attempted escape from jail but was quickly attacked from all sides.   On that day, it started off nice and warm, but came nightfall after putting on his “wounded looks”, the temperature suddenly dipped a few notches.  It was also during that fight scene his thumb got hurt; the pain was so excruciating his face distorted in agony.  The injured thumb had to be sprayed with a pain reliever before he could continue working.  Steven quips that he is “Hard Knocks Wai”.  Fortunately, Steven is tough: “Since young, what hardship have I not endured?  But I’ll not be discouraged! A real man should possess the spirit to endure hardships. Even if life is hard, I’ll endure it until it finally changes to a good life.”

TVB has previously broadcasted two of his series. Although some people commented that the series’ timeslots were less than favorable, Ghost Writer was very well received in China and the overseas market. Hence, TV series distributors are keen to invest in it by purchasing its copyright, which comforted Steven. “So long the series gets to be aired, there's no problem, even though it doesn't get any help from good timing.  But, to garner good ratings despite unfavorable timeslot makes me feel prouder.   In any action, there is always going to be losses vs gains.   Anyway, it is enough to do your part well.  People do; Heaven sees.  I believe hard work will definitely pay off.”

Tagged a paragraph from appledaily:
Due to Steven’s Ghost Writer's immense popularity in China, the copyright to “Sentinel” has already been sold at a steep price to a certain tv series distributor.

Steven Ma is currently filming an ancient TVB series, Pu Songling. A few days ago he hurt his arm, and now he almost became blind. At the time, Ma Zai was lying on the bed pretending to be a corpse. The hot wax from the candle inside the 7-star lantern hanging above the bed he was lying on unexpectedly dripped onto his right eye. Fortunately, his eyes were closed, thus preventing the wax drip from getting into his eye. But the pain jolted him bolt upright on the bed, his eyelid instantly turned red.

He expressed his right eye is beset by disasters. A few years back, his right eye was injured while filming another series. He joked that after the eye injury, he was later awarded “My most favorite male character”. So this time, is the accident an omen to winning another award?

He quipped: “If had to be blinded or hurt before getting an award, that would be terrible.

“Luckily my eyes weren’t open then, else the hot wax on my eye would have had melted the contact lens inside. Then would have to rush to the hospital because the eye could be blinded anytime.”

When recalling his injuries, Steven still seemed slightly shaken. He said he seemed fraught with injuries making this series; first he bumped his head, then hurt his hand and now almost lost his sight. He joked that his body has no one piece of good flesh left.

TN: Like always, Steven always played down his injuries with jokes.

Compilation of news from: wenweipo, Singpao &Takungpao [2009-06-27]

Pu Songling wrapped up production – Steven Ma’s BBQ dinner treat.
Pu Songling lead by Steven Ma, Linda Chung and Fala Chen has just recently wrapped up it production. The night before, Ma Zai treated the cast and crew to a bbq dinner. But the two female leads, Linda Chung and Fala Chen could not make it because they were not in town. Linda is in Canada, while Fala is working in Macao. Cast members who attended included: 龔嘉欣、李思欣、袁偉豪 and several crew members.

Prior, while shooting a scene climbing a tree, Ma Zai accidentally injured his right arm, which is why his arm was bandaged. When queried about the missing female lead stars, he said: “Linda's in Canada; Fala's in Macao, so both couldn’t come tonight. Since I’ll be leaving for Canada myself in a few days’ time, we won’t be able to get together for another end-of-production celebratory dinner, that’s why we’re having it tonight. Even though Ngo Wah has left for Canada already, he has earlier on contributed $3000 towards the lucky draws. Such a nice guy! Also, Ba Yin jie provided the red wine.”

When this reporter queried Ma Zai on his bandaged right arm, he revealed that his arm was injured 2 weeks ago when filming a tree climbing scene. “Master Mak Ling Ling has precautioned me that my limbs will suffer injuries this year. But even though my arm is hurt, I still could not resist playing badminton. I love paying it too much. And now my arm still hurts from playing it. From now on, I’d better rest it.”

compilation of various news reports

Steven wears jade to ward off evil spirits.
Steven attended the Sits promo with his hand bandaged. He expressed that he was hurt during the shooting of Pu Songling. “Recently had been very unlucky. First, my head got hit, and then my eye got hurt. The producer said that making ghosts and gods (supernatural) series will provoke the evil spirits, so suggest I wear jade to ward them off. But I'm not superstitious so didn't wear any.”

Steven hopes his injury (hand) will heal soon because next week he will be in Sabah for a promo function, and while there, will participate in a badminton competition. As for Sits' ratings, Steven said they fell between his expectation of 27-28 points.

TN: The title is so misleading it boggles my mind.
Steven specifically says he doesn’t believe jade will ward off evil spirits, yet the title says otherwise.

~~~~~TV interview snippet paraphrase~~~~
Bad luck comes in three’s for Steven
Synopsis of Steven's interview: He was asked about his bandaged right arm. He explains he hurt his arm while shooting a scene in PSL. Trying to act cool (瀟灑 xiu sa), he stepped onto Lin Chun's hand, leaped and reached for the branch with his hand to pull himself up onto the tree. The act was performed successfully, but several 'takes' were needed before the act was accepted. In one of them, his hand slipped while holding onto the branch, inadvertently straining it. The pain was minor until he played badminton the next day when it worsened.

Trouble does not come alone. Besides injuries with his head and right arm, his right eye was hurt too. In another PSL scene, he was lying on a bed beneath an over-hanging 7-star candle lamp. Unbeknownst to him and others, the candle had been melted down to complete wax. The melted wax slipped and plopped onto a huge area around his eye, promptly scalding him. He yelped in pain, and bolted upright. Luckily he had his eyes closed then. He dared not opened them until the wax cooled down and hardened. Only then, did he gingerly peel off the wax blob from his eye. It was such a freaky incident, and once again happened to his right eye.

Injury Blessing Occasion !

傷喜臨門!
2006-11-15 18:26

Hi everybody, I’m home!

This November is truly unforgettable to me. What an “Injury Blessing Occasion” month. (Playing on the Chinese idiom “Double Blessings’ 双喜临门) But first, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for your support and concern.  Thank you so very much, truly!

Did over a decade of filming; countless horseback riding scenes; too many to count!

I’d never been afraid of horses, or horseback riding, but of this kind of accident, it’s the first!

I remember when the accident happened, I was astride the horse. Heard the word, “action”, acting began. Suddenly, the horse flung back its head, and smacked hard onto the right side of my face. Instant darkness before my eyes. Now that I think back, I believe I must have passed out for about 3-5 seconds, for when I came to my senses, I found my hand pressed against my face. Excruciating pain followed. I remember saying these words, “I can’t hold on,” and proceeded to slip off the horse. Luckily, someone broke my fall and held on to me. (Later, I found out it was the director, my good friend, Sham Zai.) The crew hastily rushed me to the hospital.

Enroute to the hospital, I kept thinking: “Will I lose my right eye? What am I going to do if this eye can’t see?”

Then I thought: If I I’m blind in one eye, can I still act?
And I thought some more: Tomorrow is the award ceremony, how can I attend?

A plethora of questions flooded my mind!

The later details, I’m sure you all know from the media reports!

November 11th – the day of TVB Awards Ceremony; a milestone day in my acting career!

I, sporting an eye patch, accepted “My Most Favorite TV Male Character” award!

The news reported that I was ‘swallowing blood’ throughout the awards night, and ‘swallowing blood’ when receiving the award. They were all true!

Reported that my eyeball dropped 2 mm, that was true, too!
Reported that I was so happy I forgot my eye injury!
When I received my award, I was truly happy, so happy that I forgot many things!

I forgot…
That night, I actually used up 30 plus tissue packages! Don’t get the wrong idea, they were not for wiping tears, they’re for spitting out blood… a bit bloody..hehee. But it’s the truth, so pardon me!

I forgot….
When I accepted the award, I forgot to thank my family, my friends, and ….those who have been quietly and continuously supported me – all of you!

What’s more, I forgot …
To thank the bigger than life persona who had made it possible for my receiving this award ----Shang Zhi.

Not sure what else I forgot; well, to all those ‘forgots’, I would like to say: ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’.

Well, I will now update on the condition of my eye injury.
My eye has become less swollen. The bloody dripping through the nose has all but gone. But because of a line fracture on the right side of my face, the eyeball has sunk slightly; but outwardly, it can’t be detected, therefore my looks is not affected; which means, I look the same as before. As for eye sight, because the flesh around the eye socket is still swollen, I have double visions when looking at certain angles. But, don’t you all worry, doctor says with some rest to avoid re-injury, the condition will get better.

Come early December, I will start shooting a new series!

This series centers around social dancing, a fresh idea! In the series, I will try out many new stuff, you all will like it!

Once again, thank you all for your concern, and am grateful for your support!

I will continue to work hard!!
