The production name, Sow My Low, plays with the sound of the noun in Cantonese: 收買佬 (sau mai lou). It means collector, and refers to men who are something like pawn shop owners in the States, collecting old stuff and selling it. It's also the name of a game known in English as "junk scramble."
When you posted this, Jacqueline and I took a study break to watch it. We proceeded to abandon our studies and work on more inspired things. Jacqueline began breaking the rules of her painting assignment. And I sat down to edit pictures for my City Series post. Someday soon, you'll see what you inspired. Thanks TP.
