“The Little Big Master” is based on a true story, featuring the path of Ms. Lui Lai Hung rebuilding the village kindergarten Yuen Kong Kindergarten from a waning kindergarten to a reputable kindergarten.

In 2009, the Kindergarten enrolling only five students from grassroots families and ethnic minorities faced the crisis of being closed due to insufficient students. With inadequate capital and no headmaster, the school supervisor Mr. Leung had no choice but to post a recruitment ad through The Labour Department. Recruiting a headmaster responsible for educational and administrative matters, and at the same time doing the janitor’s work with only 4,500 Hong Kong Dollars as monthly salary, the recruitment ad became one of the hot topics in that year. Hung, a warm-hearted ex-educator in an international kindergarten who had already stepped down from the front line in the field of education, determined to apply for the job for the five remaining students. Her passion and strong will eventually saved the kindergarten from the edge.

Synopsis :
Feeling unsettled, Hung (by Miriam Yeung) steps down as Headmistress from a famous Kindergarten. Retiring at her age seems to be a perfect timing to achieve the dream of traveling around the world with her husband, Tung (by Louis Koo), who works as a designer in the museum. However, Hung understands this retirement is only a mean to walk away from her fading passion towards education.
 
Then, Hung notices a recruitment ad of a Kindergarten in a village recruiting headmaster and school keeper in a single post. If they can’t hire a headmaster in time, this kindergarten with only five poor students will be retrieved by properties developer, thus exploiting the five kid’s only chance to attend school. Hung is haunted by the uncertain future of the five kids…. At last, only in the hope of searching them a better school before the coming school year, she decides to apply for the Headmistress despite the extremely low salary and postpones the trip with Tung for a year.
 At first when Hung secretly visits the five kids, Suet, Kaka, Chu, and the South Asian sisters Kitty and Jennie, they strongly refuse to open their hearts to strangers, but after showing much care and patience by Hung, the kids turn to welcome Hung with their hands holding tight. The pure innocence in their eyes touches Hung and relights her passion towards education and she gets to know about the story behind each of them bit by bit.

There are a lot more to do besides planning the curriculum, including fixing the old school building, cleaning the toilet, driving the school bus. She even has to stand the sarcasm from the public after assisting the poor parents. Nevertheless, she overcomes all the difficulties with her great passion and gets to love this place gradually. She determines to keep on working for the school without letting Tung knows…
Tung has a cold war with Hung after discovering Hung is still running the Kindergarten. In the meantime, parents are instigated to drop out of school and the developer gives final notice of impending land resumption, all these things come together and make Hung too stressful, she finally collapses with severe illness.
On that day, regardless of the illness, Hung returns to the Kindergarten to attend an important occasion - the graduation ceremony of five kids. The kids,  who have been sharing laughter and tears with Hung, are well prepared to give a thank you speech to their respectful headmistress. Hung realises her perseverance and hard work pays off and gains her support. Hung’s passionate spirit is not going to fade along with the graduation of the five kids, but becomes contagious.
