"Preserving Culture that Lives On. The Humanity and Vitality within Cantonese." This is no ordinary calendar. 366 days, any day can be revisited. Each day features a classic Cantonese movie or television drama quote, from the witty lines of 1950s-60s Hong Kong Cantonese films like "You can't blame me, I had no choice!" "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to hear your explanation!" "Eat a bowl of noodles, then flip the bowl!" "To know what happens next, please read the next chapter!" to the iconic dialogues of 1980s-90s Hong Kong productions, such as "You may not believe the Observatory, but you must heed the words of the sailors." "Marriage! Divorce after tying the knot; Register, then annul!" "Officer, I haven't been a triad boss for a long time!" "I'm showing off your cards!" "From this moment on, we are friends for one minute!" "Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." "Cheer up! Even an extra is an actor!" and TV drama lines like "The point of this isn't whether I killed anyone, but that a prodigal son's return is priceless." "So what?" "Check with me!" to the classics from the millennium onwards, such as "Three years later, another three years, and another three years, ten years are almost up, boss!" "If you're wrong, admit it. If you're to be hit, stand firm!" etc. Each page includes Cantonese pronunciation, a simple English translation, explanations, and the source of the dialogue or supplementary information.
