The story begins with Shin being injured in training and being hospitalized, a build-up that has been used in many movies. The reason why it is commonly used is because of the benefits: firstly, it is a good opening, which can attract the audience's attention very quickly; secondly, the main character being in a coma can naturally lead to the world of the main character, so that the audience can naturally enter into the main character's memories, and such a way of entering the story is more immersive, and the audience enters into the story without even realizing it, and a good entry is one that doesn't leave any traces.
Shin's coma smoothly allows the audience to reach his childhood memories, following the theme of tumbling. Little Shin has shown a talent for gymnastics since he was a child, and his performance of somersaulting on the stage has made the neighborhood applaud and made his grandfather proud.
At the same time, Xiao Ah Xin such a physical child is bound to be naughty, less class mischief, by the teacher corporal punishment, Xiao Ah Xin in the corporal punishment when he saw the somersault gymnast Xiaoshu, and so into the gymnasium, completed the gymnastics dream enlightenment.

His mother decisively terminated his gymnastics career with his coach, and he has been helping his mother take care of the fruit store while playing hooligan and fighting in a group with Choy Leng (played by Ko Yu Lun, a fruit store helper).

Shin still sneaks back to the gymnasium to practice gymnastics after a fight. At this point, Shin's heart is in pain, and catharsis through a fight is never complete, and the dream of gymnastics has taken root in his heart.
At this point, the son of a gangster, Chan Hon Din's Papaya, sees Shin as a good fighter and wants to make friends with him, but Shin refuses. So he gives his brother, Choi Lam, amphetamines (an addictive drug) at a dance hall, and Choi Lam becomes addicted to the drug and starts to act wildly and arrogantly.

Shin finds Kurosatsu, Papaya's father, and realizes that Papaya is not dead. Kurosatsu's henchmen threaten to cut off Shin's hands and feet, but are stopped by Kurosatsu. Kurokatsu's conversation with Shin:
Shin's words impress Kurokatsu, who used to be a gymnast, and Kurokatsu tells Shin to get a gold medal within a year or he'll feed it to the crocodiles. Shin returns to the gymnastics team, but his fitness is not as good as before. The coach makes Shin run to practice his fitness, and when Shin can't run, Papaya comes to his door, and chases him with a bat and he runs again.
Shin trained hard, but the problem of short and long legs is still difficult to solve, the coach and his mother made special high and low shoes for Shin, Shin badmouthed his mother, the coach told Shin the truth: Shin was a child of polio, his mother has been to help him rub his legs so that it will not be more serious, his mother was afraid of Shin to blame her for him to give up gymnastics, mother and son finally resolved the misunderstanding.
During this period, Shin often corresponds with his telephone secretary, 599, who encourages him not to give up his dream. It turns out that she used to be a swimmer and won gold medals, but later she realizes that her legs are paralyzed and she can't swim any more, and in the mutual motivation with Shin, she quits her job as a telephone secretary, and gathers up her courage to revive her dream.
The story returns to the present, Xin was injured and hospitalized in a coma, woke up and recalled the past all kinds of pain, a few montage of images: Xin lost his father when he was a child, Xin fled the country, the death of the vegetables ......
Xin back to the gymnastics training, the morning and the sunrise, the field running field, the grueling training under the Xin finally on the The first time I saw him, he was in the middle of a race. Before he goes on the field, he goes to the phone secretary again, only to find out that she has resigned, although Shin meets with 599, who is in a wheelchair, and Shin can't recognize her. But Shin is encouraged by 599 to charge forward:
At the end of the movie, a set of slides of the real Shin is shown, which is also the formula of the real movie adaptation, a set of photos or videos, echoing the beginning of the sentence:
Referring to the end credits of Mel Gibson's Bloodshed on Hacksaw Ridge, this kind of echoing is a common way of movie expression, which makes the theme more realistic.
Overall the film is very good, hot blood and real, Peng Yuyan's performance is also remarkable, a muscle is the favorite of countless nymphomaniacs, not to mention the handsome cool gymnastics action.
A sentence conclusion: the loss of the dream is not a pity, the courage to regain the dream is precious!
