SETN reported that martial arts legend Hong Kim Bao (73 years old) recently opened a Douyin account (the original version of TikTok in China). Appearing in the videos, he looks younger and more agile, no longer having to use a wheelchair, making netizens talk.
Since then, there have been rumors on the internet that Hong Kim Bao has asked for a "medicine" to help her in her youth or injected a "mysterious liquid" to rejuvenate. Some people even say that the young man is decades old and does not need to be in a wheelchair anymore.
Before the rumors spread, his eldest son, actor Hong Thien Minh, recently appeared in the online program Entertainment fun and shared about his father's health, and explained why he sometimes does not use a wheelchair.
Hong Thien Minh said that in recent years, Hong Kim Bao has been caught having difficulty traveling many times, having to stand against sticks or use a wheelchair, causing many people to worry about his increasingly poor health.

He also affirmed that his father's use of rejuvenation therapies was completely unreal. His father's health improved thanks to more rest, relaxation, and better spirit, completely unrelated to any medicine or "mysterious fluid" as rumored online.
I asked my father: Do you take medicine or something? But in fact, the rumors on the internet are just speculation. People say there is enough therapy, but there is absolutely no such thing, he said.
In Douyin videos, Hong Kim Bao does not sit in a wheelchair because of the cameramable nature: "When filming, where can a wheelchair appear in front of the camera... Everyone should understand that my father has been practicing martial arts for many years, and has a heavy body, so his knees are under great pressure. At an old age, pain is normal, so normally he chose to use a wheelchair to relieve fatigue.
The actor also reassured the audience that his father's current health condition is not to be worried about.
