My Happy Mom, And Her Chinese Opera

DirectorDoris Lau Wing Man

2025
8 min

This documentary follows an elderly woman who, after devoting her life to raising children, finally rekindles her passion for Cantonese opera. Once an enthusiastic performer, she stopped performing after the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, she returns to classes not to seek the stage again, but to find joy in learning with fellow seniors. The film captures her quiet persistence and the simple happiness she finds in daily life. “Achievement” here is redefined—not by applause or spotlight, but by the warmth of song and companionship in her twilight years.
