This is a story about the trials and tribulations of the ordinary
Hong Kong people living in Hong Kong in the early 80s.It is specially
about broken homes and families.
A man and a woman arranges for divorce as the woman is too
ambitious and career minded to look after the family.The son gets to
follow the father whilst the daughter follows the mother.
The daughter eventually becomes a school teacher. She has a boyfriend
who engages in social work and among the people he is trying to help
is a prostitute with 2 daughters born out of wedlock.Another is a retarded
youngster who earns a living selling chewing gum.
Of greater significance is a lame young man called Ting Tong who sells
ponographic photos on the street at night . The daughter suspects that this lame young man is his long last brother but he refuses to accept her.
The father has long been housed in an old folks home visited by Ting Tong
regularly where they share their favorite past-time in Ting Tong's growing years,
ie.drinking cream soda mixed with fresh milk.
Eventually the father passes away and is cremated but Ting Tong has no money
to buy a burial plot and keeps his father's ashes in an urn in the shanty where he lives.
It so happens that Ting Tong's girlfriend is the daughter of the prostitute.The prostitute gets into financial difficulties and offers her daughter to be sold
as a prostitute. However there is a raid in the vice den and the daughter is killed
trying to escape from the vice officers.
Ting Tong is enraged and hacks the mother in rage and is jailed.His sister eventually bails him out and arranges for their father's ashes to be properly buried.
Thats where the story ends.
