No rating yet
Synopsis: Radio Television Hong Kong produced its first "When We Were Young" children's drama series in 1977. The series was very well received in the 70s because it was the first children's drama of its kind. In 1999, 22 years after the debut, Radio Television Hong Kong decided to continue this legend. The first episode " The day when mummy flew away" starts with the painful decision of Ka-Kei to separate with his wife. Hugo (9 ys)and Ching-Ching (6ys), are forced to live without their mother and start to learn to take care of themselves.
In the second episode "Where is Heaven?", Hugo suffers from encephalitis and is hospitalized in a critical situation. Ka-Kei is very worried and yet frustrated that he can do nothing to help. On the other hand, Ching-Ching, who is too small to understand the magnitude of the problem is mad at Anutie Siu-man (a veterinarian) for not being able to save the life of an old dog. One of the most important assets of the new "When We Were Young" series is that flashbacks of childhood scenes (of Ka-kei and Siu-man) are not fabrications, the feelings and characters of Ka-Kei and Siu-man have spanned over 22 years.
