Due to their extreme personalities, they argue a lot and seem like to be quarrelsome lovers through the sifting process of less valuable books. Unexpectedly, Ka-ka discovers her birth mother Heung-heung’s diary and the truth of her birth parents’ love story…

 

Ka-ka’ parents Heung-heung and Wah-seng Ko were in a teacher-student relationship which was considered to be intolerable injustice in the traditional Chinese society. In the period of teen rebellion, Heung-heung lived alone when her parents got divorce. During this challenging time, Heung-heung met a very stern looking history teacher Wah-seng who did not only admit her being a rebellious student but also encourage her facing with difficulties. Wah-seng, an ardent patriot, studied lots of hero stories from horrible and bloody battlefields under the influence of his soldier father. Facing Hong Kong returning to China in 1997, he rejected to emigrant this colony and divorced his wife in order to continuously take up his mission of teaching the painful and traumatic Chinese history. Perhaps, Heung-heung was 23 years young than Wah-seng, they finally fell in love and got in their mutual supportive relationships and care. Unfortunately, after the exposure of this “immortal” teacher-student affair, Wah-seng made a deadly choice and Heung-heung chose posthumous marriage in order to extend their endless love.

 

In fact, Ka-keung was a witness of this tragic love story when he was an intern teacher of Heung-heung and apprentice of Wah-seng. On account of his secret love for Heung-heung, he clandestinely supported her for years until Heung-heung died in SARS (Serve Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in which Heung-heung was a volunteer doctor to take care of SARS patients. 

 

When cheerful Ka-ka finally discovers that her birth mother-liked Choi-yi was the informer who exposed her parents’ love and caused to her family break-up, she suffers from unprecedented pain…
