In a bustling Hong Kong neighborhood where traffic jams and street chatter form a constant soundtrack, Xia Fei Fei works as a parking attendant, affectionately known by locals as “summon auntie.” Beneath her easy‑going smile lies a lifelong yearning to step onto a stage and sing like her idol, the late legend Feng Fei‑Fei. The city’s neon glow and the clatter of red‑capped taxis provide a vivid backdrop to her quiet rehearsals, where she often hums the classics that once lifted her spirits during school‑yard contests.

Her world is anchored by a fragile yet tender codependence with her father, a retired Rediffusion salesman affectionately called “Uncle Radio.” His gentle presence is both a comfort and a responsibility, especially as dementia begins to cloud his memory. The pair navigate a home that feels half‑filled with cherished radios that no longer broadcast, a subtle reminder of a past era slipping away. Around them swirls a colorful cast: Ah Luan, the charismatic kopitiam stall owner who dons a flamboyant alter‑ego that hints at larger dreams, and Mao Shan, an old friend now driving a taxi, whose steady support offers Fei Fei a lifeline amid everyday chaos.

At the same time, Fei Fei contends with workplace dynamics that range from begrudging respect to petty scheming, embodied by veteran colleague Jenny and her loyal entourage. Their interactions add a layer of comic tension, underscoring the protagonist’s habit of extending kindness even to those who test her patience. The atmosphere balances warm community spirit with the underlying pressures of survival in a city that never truly pauses.

When news of the national singing competition surfaces, Fei Fei sees a chance to fuse her hidden talent with a practical need—to fund her father’s care. The decision sets her on a path that blends personal aspiration with familial love, hinting at the inevitable crossroads where dreams and duty must find a common rhythm.
