Herman Yau : 2008
Sing kung chok tse yee: Ngor but mai sun, ngor mai chi gung
Lai Chung-Chung is a cocaine-addicted yet good-natured street walker whose fortune teller predicts an important day in her near future. As she works hard to save for a dentistry process to prepare for the big day, she catches the eye of a photographer and his journalist girlfriend, and through the personal interest story of her life, the burden of Chung's past is revealed. Wong Lin-Fa, a woman from mainland China, has married Kin, a middle-aged construction worker, in the hope of gaining Hong Kong residency. Upon hearing that Kin died in a work accident, Lin-Fa travels to Hong Kong, pregnant with his child, expecting to collect an abundance of condolence money from Kin's family. But labelled as a golddigger and kicked out by the family, she moves into Kin's apartment in a building that is full of prostitutes, including Chung. A touching story of two women in the grassroots of Hong Kong society, struggling to survive and haunted by the demons in their respective pasts.
