The series ‘Ode To Light And Shadow In Unity’ is comprised of five short stories, ‘Touch The Sky’; ‘My Mom, My Ping Pong’; ‘My Pride; You Light Me Up’; and ‘Silver Lining’, which witness Hong Kong’s experiences and metamorphoses in the past quarter-century.
Silver Lining depicts an old Cantonese restaurant called Yuet Tak Kui, which is well-liked by neighbourhood foodies, before the handover in 1997. Assistant chef Au Yiu Cho announces he and his wife Tang Lai Kuen are taking over the business. Yuet Tak Kui’s business gradually gets on the right track. Lai Kuen suggests buying their own shop, but Yiu Cho disagrees, so Lai Kuen arbitrarily purchases some shop. Yuet Tak Kui’s business goes south as Asian Financial Crisis strikes. Through hard work and networking, Yiu Cho leads Yuet Tak Kui to overcome financial hurdles. However, Yiu Cho gets furious due to a debt collection letter about some negative equity shop. He thinks getting married to Lai Kuen was probably a mistake. Everything seems to have returned to what was previously after the financial crisis, but irreparable cracks have appeared between Yiu Cho and Lai Kuen.
