Additional information
VACCINE SIDE EFFECT
After receiving his first COVID-19 vaccination in May 2021, he began experiencing muscle weakness that affected his ability to perform gymnastics elements. He returned to full fitness in mid-2022. "I thought it would get better in a couple of days due to the side effect, but after taking a break, I still couldn't do anything. It was like my body knew what to do, but my muscles just couldn't follow up. The easy elements suddenly became very difficult to me. I was frustrated that everyone else was improving but I had to start over again. I could only tell myself to endure and stop complaining, tomorrow will be better." (sports.ltn.com.tw, 20 Aug 2022)
