Senior finds peace, happiness through busking

Perched on a bar stool in front of a busy wet market, gently strumming his guitar and singing evergreen tunes from the 1960s, retiree Sunny Ah Fai seems lost in his own world of music. It’s not something you’d expect to see at a neighbourhood wet market and so, unsurprisingly, quite a few marketgoers stop to listen (or stare), some dropping a couple of notes into the box in front of him.

Sunny smiles as he thanks those who give him their “blessings” and resumes his singing, without missing a chord.
