WRITER / DIRECTOR’S 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!
