The Heart of Growth, a musical
Children's literary author A Nong's work The Heart of Growth has accompanied an entire generation of Hong Kong people as they grew up and is a treasure of local cultural and artistic heritage! His works are filled with deep and sincere emotions, exuding the nostalgic atmosphere of youthful school days and showcasing a positive and proactive attitude towards life.
The theatrical version adapted six of his short stories: Listen, the Cicadas Sing!, A Thread of Love, The Shoe-Shining Gang, The Story on the Bus, Tales on a Rainy Day, and Mom, You Should Give Him a Good Scolding!. With live musical accompaniment and dance, these stories were transformed into a musical collection that vividly recreates the people and emotions of old Hong Kong.
The Heart of Growth, a musical premiered in the Hong Kong International Arts Carnival (HKIAC) in 2019 as a community and school touring production and an extended theatrical version was staged at the Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre Theatre in 2021, also as a programme of the HKIAC. The two productions were produced by Musical Trio, a Hong Kong Arts Group.
