My Happy Mom And Her Chinese Opera 《媽媽的曲藝生活》
2025 | 9 min | In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles | Dir Wing Man Doris Lau
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.
這部紀錄片記錄了一位年老的太太,在成為母親後放下了粵曲夢想,專心照顧家庭。多年後,孩子長大成人,她終於重拾夢想,曾多次登台演出。惟疫情後淡出舞台,如今她回到粵曲課堂,已不再追求掌聲,只為與一班長者快樂學習。影片展現她日常中簡單的快樂,樂趣不必建基於成就,而是來自每日的一點喜悅與對生活的投入。她以平淡的方式演繹一份對藝術的熱愛,也讓我們看見晚年生活中那份自在與從容。
