Very meaningful story with extraordinary actors. Worth a watch to support HK film.
It is the first Hong Kong film I have seen on Netflix and it has not disappointed me; it is a very fascinating true story. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!
It's good that Netflix delivers quality content to us.

It's a warm story that'a easy to watch and get into for a relaxing time. It's well made and it's fun to watch Ng Kwan Yu take this on so well as the loving mother. It's just fun.
I hope to remember those words!
I watched for inspiration and inspired I was...
Every one doesn't need to be famous or to be extraordinary but we all can be moved to be the best version of ourselves--to overcome impossibles. To "do" when others say "can't"; even if in small ways.
Though part of the Netflix brand, this movie is low budget and uses voice overs. Overlook this, activate your imagination and allow yourself to be inspired!
When sad, it allows me to see that life can be worse; others have it harder. Happiness doesn't need riches. Poor families can have joy.

The life of So Wah Wah, the multiple gold medals winner in Olympics. He was born as handicapped, but he liked running a lot and represented Hong
Kong. This movie was mainly about him and how his mom did not give up on him. Like the theme that 'You walk slower than the others, but you run faster.' I forgot his performance, but when I saw that he has to give up running to do a living, and won a gold medal in Beijing with a new world record, was so so touched... :>

- TriviaAll entries contain spoilers
- GoofsOverhead shots of Beijing National Stadium shows outlines of a pair of mini-football pitches painted on the grass. As its organizer, Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG), still held tenancy rights to the stadium, thus the pitch was left still untouched as an athletic venue as it was at the Olympics held weeks prior.
