Notably, five students from the HKMU drama course delivered a captivating demonstration of the idiom \u201c\u5371\u5982\u7d2f\u5375\u201d (as precarious as stacked-up eggs).<\/p><p>The event celebrated the achievements of 39 participating schools and attracted over 550 attendees, including educators from primary schools, secondary schools and higher-education institutions. It highlighted the power of drama in bringing traditional Chinese idioms to life through imaginative
