Your beautiful rhapsody is most needed to colour the mundane of every day

 

A soon-closing secondary school in Hong Kong is on the verge of financial

collapse. The desperate school principal thus decides to promote Chinese

culture and make Chinese music a highlight in a bid to attract ample funding. 

​

With the unsatisfactory response from students, the principal and the discipline

head have no other ways but allow students with a major demerit to swap for

with a minor demerit, and those with a minor demerit to swap for a warning if

they join the Chinese orchestra. Sure enough, many students are attracted to

register...

 

And it doesn’t end there. Rumour has it that the school is haunted, and the school

janitors and female students swear they see spirits in the school.  

To prevent fear from spreading, the school principal had no choice but to invite a

musician-master to hold an exorcism ceremony in the school. During the ceremony,

and when the musicians play the dida as loud as a trumpet, it ignites the performing

soul deep in everyone's heart...
