Language embodies a fluctuating identity for a language carrier. A multilingual background gives access to dynamic social-cultural perspectives rooted in words. The Cacophonic Harmony consists of Mandarin and Cantonese tongue twisters, each highlighting the poetic capabilities to express a cohesive story within closely similar pronunciation.

The common value dictates existence until it is not common, but a value remains.
