Zhou Shengyong's inspirational story is like a mirror, reflecting the hardships and perseverance of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in their studies. With his ardent dream in mind, he decided to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple to study. In order to raise tuition, he had to go south to Shaodong three times and work in a pliers factory. The burden of life could not crush his dream-seeking backbone, but instead forged his perseverance. When the crew of "The Legend of Shaolin Temple" auditioned for martial arts actors, he decisively signed up and went through many layers of selection to get on the coveted stage. However, he was unfortunately eliminated due to lack of adaptability. He was not discouraged, but turned the setbacks in adversity into motivation to pursue his dreams. After moving south to Guangdong, Zhou Shengyong made a bold decision: to raise his own funds to shoot the inspirational film "Whose Youth Does Not Chase Dreams". There is no gorgeous background to pave the way for him, nor abundant resources to back him up, but with the courage to risk everything, he tempers the ups and downs on the road to dreaming into the dancing light and shadow of youth on the film. Opening this dream-chasing diary soaked in sweat and perseverance, I hope every dream chaser in adversity can understand: true inspiration is never a fairy tale of smooth sailing, but forging every fall into a stone step for climbing upward.
