The show is about the blessing ceremony of the Taoists, which is a traditional temple celebration during Chinese festivities.

The major character in this show is called The Third Prince, believed to be the youngest of the gods in Heaven who always brings happiness and peace to his followers. He is known for his vehicle of a FIRE WHEEL, which depicts that he has little patience for evilness.

The final part of the show is the Lion Dance, which is meant to bring all of us here Prosperity, Good Luck and Good Health.

Red packets: containing money given out at auspicious occasions in order that all the blessings will be realized. In other words, MAKE OUR DREAMS REAL!
