14-Year-old Xiaofeng is a teenager from Sunshine Middle School who dreams of table tennis. However, his poor family has become a huge obstacle in pursuing his dream. His parents made a living by running a stall in a vegetable market and were unable to support him in professional training. But his love for table tennis kept him from giving up.
In his spare time, Xiaofeng always stayed alone in the dilapidated gymnasium to practice against the wall. He taught himself table tennis skills by watching online game videos. He imitated top players every move and silently improved his skills with his tenacious perseverance and unremitting efforts.
When the school announced a table tennis competition and the champion could represent the school in the district competition, Xiaofeng was full of expectations, but his name was not on the registration list because the physical education teacher felt that he had not received formal training and participating was a waste of places. Xiaofeng was unwilling to give in and worked up the courage to fight for it. The teacher finally agreed that as long as he beat the school team's seed player Li Ming, he would be eligible to participate.
On the day of the competition, facing Li Ming, who was very strong and had won the ranking in the city, Xiaofeng had a bad start and lost in the first game. But he quickly adjusted and relied on his accumulated skills and tenacious fighting spirit to gradually master the rhythm of the game. At the critical moment of the 10-all tie in the deciding game, Xiaofeng was calm and composed, completed the key blow in one go, successfully counterattacked, and won the opportunity to participate.
In the regional competition, although Xiaofeng did not win the championship, his tenacious fighting spirit won everyone's respect and attracted the attention of the provincial team coach. The coach saw his potential and offered him an olive branch. At this point, Xiaofeng's journey to pursue his table tennis dream has officially begun a new chapter.
