She's a big girl now, she knows what's best

Does she? She's already in her 20s

She won't learn anything nor do anything

Just idling about every day

I said hold it right there

Yes, I'm not moving

You

- Father

- Troupe master

Troupe master

- Troupe master

- Hey, help me call 999

Troupe master

Zong Hua, keep an eye on the show

I'm going to the hospital, you guys come later

So how's it, doctor?

He's no longer in a critical state

But he'll be very weak these few day.

Let him rest up

Don't worry, we'll take care of him

Thank you, doctor

Let's give Jing Jing and

the troupe master some time together

Are you free now?

I'd like to bring you somewhere

Father, I'm sorry

I hope you don't mind

We can't be sure when your father

will be discharged

But the show's starting soon

We can't be without a troupe master

I think you should take

your father's place for the time being

And take care of matters of the opera troupe

But I know nothing about that

Besides, I

Excuse me

Sir

Please don't mind me saying this

But I'm doing this for your own good

What's the matter?

This seventh month of the Lunar Calendar

Don't go wandering around

Why?

If you do, certain things

I'm afraid you won't live to see them

You guys leave first

In the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar

the traditional Cantonese opera

is performed for the spirits

Your father does it every year

This is this year's chosen venue

By then, no humans will be

allowed to sit in this row

it's reserved for the spirits

Why do we need to put on a show for

the spirits every year?

We hope they will watch it

rather than looking for a host to possess

if our performance were to be

affected by your father's illness

Compensation is the least of our worries

Our reputation will be severely tarnished

So if you could come back and help

But I don't know anything

it's okay, I'll help you

Do you know

Your father really wanted you to

come back and take over

What happened between you two,

I'm really not sure

But all these years, he missed you a lot

When I came back and saw him

I can see he has aged a lot

But I don't want to talk about the past

Okay, let's not talk about it

Let's go back and I'll introduce you to the crew

Guys, attention please

Our troupe master is no longer in a critical state

But he can't be discharged for the time being

So what will happen to our opening?

Our rival had opened a few days ago

Don't worry

The troupe master's son will take over from now on

Him? Can he?

It's the troupe master's decision

You are all my seniors, so please show me the way

And please, just call me Zong Hua

We'll be looking up to your leadership

Let's not waste any time, carry on with our practice
