Trailer: Leap by Peter Chan

The film begins in 1979 – a time of historic change when the Chinese people yearned for the outside world to see them, according to text that scrolls across the screen. Chen Zhonghe (played as a young man by Peng Yuchang) joins the team as a trainer and meets the hard-working player Lang (played by Bai Lang, daughter of Lang Ping). The team's training regime soon brings China the first of several world championship titles, and the two become lifelong allies.
