In a poignant scene from the Rooftop Productions (天台製作) contemporary theatre piece 'Testimony' (《山下的證詞》), actor Basnet Tusar stands center stage, bathed in a single spotlight. Behind him, a large-scale projection shows a vintage, tinted black-and-white photograph of Gurkha soldiers, highlighting the historical military presence in Hong Kong. As he contemplates the legacy of the 48th Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he delivers the line: 'You say everything will be destroyed? Then why fight?'
