WRITER / DIRECTOR鈥橲 STATEMENT:

Three years ago I was walking around the sports section in a department
store in Beijing, looking to buy myself a new basketball. When I walked
over to the rack of basketballs and picked up one of the latestmodels,
this little boy came running up and excitedly pushed me aside and grabbed
the very same ball I was looking at as if it was the only one left.
Astonished at his brashness, I caught hold of something I'll never
forget. As he stood there holding the ball, there was a sparkled in his
eyes that seemed to summed up every big dream this little guy could have
at this moment in time.

I stood mesmerized looking at him daydreaming at this ball. As his father
walked over, the little boy looked at his father, and without saying a
word, quickly put the ball down and picked up the cheapest ball he could
find... a barely useable rubber ball. The father nodded his head and the
two of them walked off.

Everybody has a dream. That sparkle in the child's eyes was what inspired
me to write this script and make this film. His passion, dreams, and
aspirations are the bases of the story I have to tell.

As an avid basketball fan by making this movie, I wish to touch and move
the audience with an inspiring story about never ever giving up. This
story covers a universal theme of triumph over struggles and obstacles
and is set in the fast paced action packed world of basketball, one of
the most popular and rapidly growing sports in China. As a foreign born
Chinese, I am surprised yet very proud to see how passionate the Chinese
are about the game of basketball, and about the true spirit inside the
game. I wish everyone who sees this film, is rewarded with this same
spirit of never ever giving up. Enjoy!
