A Goal as High as Six Feet

For many Hong Kong people, numbers are something they concern most, e.g. the number of income, savings, the cost of property, mortgage rate etc. Actually, there are some numbers which seemed more important and may even affect one's life. Like 0, this number can be used to describe some people's social status; while number 2 may be used to represent a couple's marital status; and for the elderly, number 9 may be related to the last stage of their life.
In this series of Hong Kong Stories - Life and Numbers, from 0 to 9, each episode focuses on one number, trying to show how numbers give special meaning to the life of different people in Hong Kong.
