Hong Kong D Links: [2011] 天與地 When Heaven Burns

When Heaven Burns (Traditional Chinese: 天與地) is a 2011 TVB television series starring Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Charmaine Sheh and Kenny Wong. First revealed during TVB's Sales Presentation 2009 in 2008, filming took place in late 2009 to early 2010, with the first episode airing both in Hong Kong and TVB's overseas affiliates on the 21st of November 2011.

In their youth Lau Chun Hung (Bowie Lam), Sung Yee Long (Moses Chan), Cheng Chun Hin (Kenny Wong) together with the deceased Hui Ka Ming are good friends and band mates. During a mountaineering trip, the four are stranded on a snow bound mountain and out of desperation Hui Ka Ming is killed and eaten by the other three. This event has a traumatic effect on their friendship, and their friendship with Yip Chi Yan (Charmaine Sheh), Ka Ming's girl friend, leading the previously close group to go their separate ways.

Eighteen years later Yip Chi Yan remains haunted by the memory of Ka Ming, trying to regain what she had with him in part with her husband and and in part with her lover, but finding neither a complete replacement for her lost love breaks with them both. Troubled she loses track of time while alone in the wilderness, sparking a missing persons alert which becomes the catalyst for the four estranged friends to meet again. Though she was Ka Ming's girl friend all four band mates were in love with her and the three survivors remain in love with her.

Suffering from selective amnesia Cheng Chun Hin is unable to remember the mountaineering trip, and out of nostalgia of their past friendship he strives to bring the friends back together. This he achieves by recalling a lost song written by Ka Ming just before his death, although he had strove to do so for eighteen years he is only able to finally do so after encountering Chi Yan again. The rebuilding of their friendship is reflected in the reconstruction of the lost song, as they don again their roles of lead guitar, drummer and bassist.

However just as the friends learn to let go of the past Ka Ming's remains are discovered on the mountain.
