Tearless Honour tells a family’s long journey in life, migrating from the Mainland to Hong Kong through the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific Wars of the 1930’s and 40’s. Chan Ka-tung, the protagonist, was born in a rich family in Xiguan, Guangzhou. Like the Generation Y today, he aspires to a bright future. But the Japanese invasion of China becomes his call, and he joins the army to serve his country. The experience of war, love and politics, however, brings forth his girl-friend’s death, as well as his flee from the country.

Upon resettling in Hong Kong, Chan is again thrown into the ravages of war by the Japanese Invasion. He and his family have to tackle the enemy with wit, yet to his great dismay, he can but witness the death of his family and friends while narrowly escaping to survive abroad. Returning to Hong Kong after the war, he discovers that his home was ruined by the “Allies’ mis-bombing”…  The many vicissitudes in life, nevertheless, seem to have led Chan to the upholding of culture and heritage in one’s integrity. So many decades later, he still hears so vividly that song sung by a group of retreating primary students, whom he met enroute in a serendipitous encounter…
