During the three-year pandemic, a 50-year-old laborer in Hong Kong lost his job, was evicted by his landlord, and suffered a stroke 16 days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Being homeless, he had to risk getting a third shot to try to find a job.

Known only as Cheung, he is currently taking temporary refuge in the stands of a playground in Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon. His arm has not fully recovered from the stroke, and despite possessing a vaccine pass, he could only find some odd jobs, earning a low income from which he could hardly afford the rent of a subdivided unit.
