Music is the best medicine
**************************

     Last year 68-year-old musician Lau Pak-chiu received some bad news. He was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
 
     To ease his anxiety and depression, Tuen Mun Hospital staff arranged for him to perform a solo pipa show in the hospital's activity room.
 
     Playing to a full house, the performance last month reignited his love for music and his faith in family, friends and life.
 
     News.gov.hk interviewed Mr Lau and the hospital's staff to see how they made his music dream come true.
 
     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (August 13) in text and video format.
