    How you face with up and down thru his story

    I cried, for all those sweet memories for CMW's fantastic Yankee journey, it was whole TWness people's stories, it was also each of their own story, we miss the old times when we were young, so I cried. But also cried for watching his the one and the only purpose- to pitch again. Who wouldn't struggle and be pain and fear to lose everything? he fight for that with his unique character, also gave audience lots of courages.

    A peek into the life of a baseball star

    I enjoyed this documentary, it gave the audience a real look into the rise and fall of sports celebrities and the weight that they bear. This is especially special because Chen is not only a popular pitcher in the U.S, he bore the weight of his home country, Taiwan, as the "Pride of Taiwan." Not only is this an inspiration to aspiring Taiwanese players, but for any aspiring sports players who, with enough grit and determination, can make it back into the major leagues.

    You can find yourself represented here

    The Chien-Ming Wang Story looks at first tailored for beisbol fans. However, you will soon realize that in reality is a master piece about human nature, about how we all have fight against odds to achieve our dreams whatever they are for you. This story talks about you or will inspire you to be the best you can ever be if you never give up.

    Beautifully crafted into a documentary that unfollow classic rules about person-specific story telling. From the golden years that you could imagine to be mainly featured, the story take you into the uncertainty of the fallen years that came after.

    The most appealing aspect to me in the narrative is the uncertainty about where Chien-Ming Wang could end up. It is after all a featured documentary with an unwritten story until the very end.

    Highly recommended for beisbol-prone audiences, but I personally recommend it for everyone else looking for inspiration in their lifes.

    Simple movie with an inspiring true story.

    To be honest, It's not a super fancy movie but it's absolutely a GREAT one telling the true story of a significant Taiwanese baseball player - Chien-Ming Wang.

    I am not a baseball fan, so I didn't really know his story before I watched the movie; however, I literally feel/understand his frustration when I saw the movie - He was trying so hard to prove he could still make it, for YEARS, and he didn't quit before he reached his limitation. I wasn't a fan of Chien-Ming Wang, but now I am.

    It simply represents the Taiwanese spirit, and Wang's story encourages me to keep fighting for my dream and NEVER give up. You can find tons of inspiring stories out there, but it's not that easy to find a true one that makes you feel 'This is real, and I am gonna fight for my life too'.

    Authentic and inspiring behind-the-scenes story of a once superstar athlete

    You really get to "meet" Chieng-Ming Wang from this documentary.

    I've been a fan of him since I was living in Taiwan during his peak years as the NY Yankee's Ace pitcher. Like most people, I've only known him as that celebrity athlete that everyone sees on TV.

    However, little do people recognize, like everyone else in this world experiences, he goes through struggles and adversities in life too. The movie introduces the normal human that Chien Ming Wang is, and it is truly inspiring and emotional to see the humble and persistent side of him.
