==========
Shiu Ka-chun, 55, former Hong Kong opposition lawmaker and key figure in the 2014 Occupy movement, revealed he has stomach cancer requiring emergency surgery to remove half of his stomach; he lost 15kg (33lbs) due to the illness. Misdiagnosed multiple times, he was initially treated for excessive stomach acid and gastritis before a hospital consultation confirmed cancer. Shiu expressed gratitude for the medical staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and shared his faith in recovery despite the long road ahead. He was jailed for eight months in 2019 for his role in the protests and faced political persecution post-release, including denial of a teaching contract.
