The Green Hope is a 2000 Hong Kong television drama produced by TVB under producer Tsang Kan-cheong and starring Bowie Lam, Stephen Fung, Yoyo Mung, Joey Yung, Melissa Ng and Cathy Tsui.

Synopsis

In a cold Christmas in 1996, the workaholic Fong Kin-choi (Lau Dan) has been sick in bed. His dying wish is to find his youngest son Ka-him (Stephen Fung), who lived with his mother due to the divorce 12 years ago. After 12 years, Kin-choi's oldest son, Ka-fai (Bowie Lam), found out that his younger brother suffers from mental illness due to their mother, Wong Yuen-fan (Mary Hon) being drug abuser and forcing Ka-him to do illegal things since young age.

After his father died, Ka-fai took Ka-him in and helped him get back on his track as living as a normal person. Ka-fai notices his brother is a gifted musician, but his talent is hidden for years. With the help of Ka-fai, Ka-him's talent shows off and becomes a famous pianist, recognized by other people. It proves that although he's a minor mentally ill patient, he can still live a normal life and being successful just like others.

Throughout the show, Ka-him's struggle to success was littered with failures and discrimination by others due to his disability. Towards the end of the show, Ka-him's effort was eventually recognised. The show carries an inspiring underlying message that people with disabilities can succeed, and disability discrimination only contributes negatively to their struggle.
