However, the typical CNY video does not stray far from a template that includes a tension point, a moment of epiphany concluded by a tear jerking finale, accompanied by sad music.Following the footsteps of over-the-top CNY films from the Grab “HUATEVER” series, we crafted our film as a homage to the Golden Age of Ho
