When Heaven Burns

A masterpiece so profound and philosophical, while in equal terms bold and challenging, even to the point of mass censorship. Such incredible storytelling that can rival the best western titles; its motifs, messages, themes, and narrative brilliance putting everything HK television has produced in the last decade to shame.

"The city is dying." There are a plethora of meaning to unpack, social commentary, meditation on human nature, relationships, and the worth of life itself. Not to mention that it spawned two of the best themes songs TVB has ever concocted, alongside a multitude of unforgettable quotes.

It's legacy lives on forever. It is a matter of whether people will still be here to remember it once it becomes fully censored. I remember it a decade after its release. Will more people join the ode?
