Ma ma de shen qi xiao zi

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.

What can I achieve?

What is your definition of "great"?

Such a great movie! So full of inspiration and courage, shows the struggles and hard life, sacrifice behind any sportive, especially a paralympic! The story of his mother that supports him in all possible ways, who gave all for him is so, so lovely. What a lesson of life for today generations and for further athletes! Love it! 👌

It's cheesy.

But if you're in the mood for a good tear jerker, this is well done. It's based on the true story of So Wai Wa, paralympian who participated in 3 Paralympics and still holds current records in track, which is quite an accomplishment for a Hong Kong athlete. The struggles of the protagonist and the mother are at the center of the drama. Some very real issues include worrying about the future of a handicapped person after the parents are gone, the bankability of an athlete, equal pay for all athletes, poverty... but for me personally is the responsibility (guilt) of parents of handicapped children that can be felt in this production piece.

Besides the drama, props must be given to the 3 actors who played the young, teenage and adult Do Wai Wa... so good! And the actress who played the mother, all made this drama work brilliantly!

Good Canto drama based on real events!
