In a Facebook post, the now 23-year-old Lui said she met her former coach, identified as Y, through extracurricular activities.
Over the course of a year, he slowly gained her trust. It was one Saturday after class that her coach rang her.
"He asked me if my muscles were tense after my exercise last week, and said he could give me a massage to relax my muscles," she said in a statement on Facebook.
"To me this seemed perfectly normal, and to me, he was someone I respected as a teacher."
The coach added that it would be easier to carry out the massage at his home, where he asked her to lie on the bed. He went on with his "massage", first taking off her jeans, then her underwear, before touching her private parts.
"Even when he was taking off my underwear, I couldn't even react," she said.
After the incident, she remained in contact with the coach, even joining in his birthday celebrations every year.
"How do I celebrate the birthday of someone who sexually assaulted me? Am I crazy? I don't know. Maybe I could even fool myself into believing that this never happened," she went on to say.
Lui goes on to add in her statement that cases of sexual assault have gone mainly unreported in Hong Kong.
"Sexual issues... are never openly discussed in Chinese culture."
"In Chinese culture, sexual issues have always been considered embarrassing...and never openly discussed," she says.
[I urge victims to] stand up -- your courage could inspire countless others, just like McKayla has inspired me."
Her post has since gone viral, with over 23,000 likes and just over 4,000 shares in less than 24 hours.
The allegations come after Chinese state media claimed that sexual harassment was something that simply didn't happen in Chinese culture.
"Behaving inappropriately toward women, including harassing them sexually, contradicts every Chinese traditional value and custom," says the China Dailyarticle, written by Sava Hassan, a Canadian Egyptian author living in China.
"Chinese traditional values tend to safeguard women against inappropriate behaviour."
The article was later taken down after receiving a wave of backlash.
