Synopsis 故事大綱
羅偉祥（祥仔）出生時缺氧一分鐘，終生要在輪椅上度過。他在沒有電梯的徙置大廈長大，家人外出工作時只好獨留他在家。他肚皮貼地過日，與老鼠爭食談心「做朋友」。外面的世界對當時的他來說，只有抬頭看到天井的一片天空。雖然母親承諾「我會養你一輩子」，祥仔卻不甘心成為家庭和社會的包袱。他後來的人生充滿奇遇：將筆綁在手上、用唇頂著寫字通過公開考試，成為香港首位坐輪椅的保險從業員 ……在生命的最後幾年，他面對無力掌控的衰老和死亡，仍然堅守「獨立自主生活」的原則。他留下了一項未竟的計劃：建立一個由殘疾人士營運的圖書館，讓他們能在無障礙環境內就業和服務大眾。
《無拘飛祥》由香港新銳導演蘇家榆執導，奧斯卡最佳紀錄短片獎得主楊紫燁擔任創意監製及策劃人。
Ah Cheung suffered from birth asphyxia, which caused him to be paralysed for life. He spent his childhood in an apartment in a public housing estate with no elevators. For the first 11 years of his life, he did not leave his home. When he felt lonely, he chatted with the mice who came for his food.
He said that later in his life was full of “adventures”. He only started primary school aged 12. He took secondary school public exams in his late 20s, using one hand and his lips to hold the pen and answer the questions. He became the first wheelchair-bound insurance agent in Hong Kong. He learnt perseverance from his mother, who carried him on her back to school and the examination hall.
Ah Cheung was determined to be independent and strived to discover the true meaning of freedom on his own terms. He passed away in March 2022, leaving an unfinished dream: building a library to be managed by people with different disabilities.
The film is the directorial debut of So Ka Ue, with Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Ruby Yang serving as the creative and executive producer.
