Tan Kah Kee the epic drama

I got a Chinese worksheet on Tan Kah Kee and it keeps on reminding me what happens in the performance. It may happen very long ago but I just feel like talking about it.

The performance was quite great as I could not understand how Hwachong students themselves performed it, they must have a long practice! It starts (weirdly) with 12 boys singing with 'old' Tan Kah Kee walking in. Then it shows us his life experiences based in three sections, young, adult and old. It was weird at certain periods when old Kah Kee walked into the first section, regretting about his past life. The last section shows something like Tan Kah Kee 'revived' and visiting the school in the future when he is supposedly dead(if not, why would there be a laptop in the scene). Of course, it also shows his contributions to the school such as donating all of his money.
