Hearts of Fencing

AU-YEUNG YAT and his younger brother AU-YEUNG LOK have joined a new school. On their way to school, YAT drops a banana skin on the ground. His classmate NAM slips on the banana skin and falls over, leaving a few specks of dirt on her clothes. On the orientation day, different extra-curricular clubs and societies make a great effort to recruit new members. Lazy YAT is fairly interested in the Fencing Club, thinking that it won’t take much time at all. He then forces LOK to join the team with him. YAT and LOK happen to discover a picture of KIM, the coach, which was taken in a fencing competition years ago. They are stunned by KIM’s brilliant achievements and try to dig up more facts about his background. KIM, however, refuses to say a word about that. The Fencing Club members are having their regular practice, during which NAM and her classmate CHING peek at them through the window.… ...

NAM is planning to put on a charity show to raise money for the new school magazine project. She has invited heart-throb singer EASON as the performer, while YAT and LOK are busy selling concert tickets on the campus. DON, who is with his childhood friend LUNG, has a severe quarrel with YAT and LOK over the soft drinks. DON is deeply attracted by NAM’s feisty personality. YAT and LOK meet DON and LUNG when they are practicing fencing. DON, who has always wanted to captain the Fencing Club, challenges LOK to a contest so as to show his power. LOK and DON are dueling for the title of ‘Captain’ and for a split second, KIM has arrived to stop them. Nobody realizes KIM’s power until that very moment. The school hall is full of students who are waiting to see EASON. But out of the blue, EASON cannot make it to the concert due to some reason. This is a real shock to NAM and her classmates.… ...

The Student Union has been organizing a series of orientation programs for new students, among which there is one very special event. It is a matchmaking festival, during which a boy and a girl will be chosen, and the pair will be going out for one whole day. It has long been a tradition of Shung Ngai High School, but by experience, those chosen are unlikely to make a go of their relationship. LUNG and MAN have been chosen this year. MAN gets dressed up deliberately for the date and she looks absolutely gorgeous in her new trendy outfit. MAN and LUNG go to fly a kite, and have a heart-to-heart talk, as prescribed by the traditions and customs. The two of them have a great time and this does help to strengthen their relationship too. Teenage girls MUI, MIU, MAN, CHING and NAM all snuggle down in bed talking about their dreams. So whose dream is the most special?
