The Miracles of the Namiya General Store (3rd-run)｜Chung Ying Theatre Company Show Introduction

"Believe in the miracles of life till the end of the line."

One night, a trio of "losers" accidentally break into the long-abandoned Namiya General Store. There, they received a letter from 33 years ago. Out of curiosity, the three distressed young men read the letter. From that moment, they stumbled upon the many knots of timelines and stories...

Growing up roughly, these "losers" never believe in the virtues of life. However, when reading the letter, they decide to carry on the communication between Mr Namiya and the senders. Unknowingly, their advice became the beacon shining upon the helpless passers-by in the darkness.

Adapted from the bestseller by Japanese writer Keigo Higashino, the Cantonese version of The Miracles of the Namiya General Store was performed twice in Hong Kong by Chung Ying Theatre Company in 2018 and 2022. Each was warmly received and attracted a full house. This year features an applauded comeback of the show with the theme song composed by On Chan of C AllStar and lyrics by Oscar, echoing the story's essence: Despite modern society's rapid development, the sentimental values in the old world are still worth treasuring. As Rabindranath Tagore wrote, "Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We woke up to find that we were dear to each other."
