YIP Siu-woon had been a hawker selling sweet soup on the street. As a single parent, she fed her three daughters with the business. In 1998, she stopped working as a hawker after 20 years' in the business and left Hong Kong with her family. But she returned to the city two years later to help her debt-ridden youngest daughter Ah Win. They opened a shop selling desserts. Previously Ah Win did not have any job experience, but now she usually works 18 hours a day. After paying off her debt, she wants to finance her son's university study in the United States. Like many busy parents in Hong Kong, Ah Win finds little time to stay with her daughter Kei Kei. Sometimes the girl has to visit the dessert shop in order to meet her mother. Yip, Ah Win and Kei Kei have witnessed changes in Hong Kong over the past decades.
