Synopsis
Chu-Ying’s brilliant performance in sport wins her a place in a prestigious girls’ high school in Taipei, she decides to leave her home in the countryside. Her story is familiar to her tug-of-war teammates since most of them come from single-parent families or disadvantaged backgrounds. The lack of economic support from their families makes them even more determined to achieve their goal. When Chun-Ying is admitted to the school, she knows nothing about tug-of-war. Trained strictly by coach Kuo and supported by the tender and encouraging Ms Wu, the girls take on the physical challenge, the frustration and the prejudice against sport from other students and some teachers. In the end, their sweat and tears pay off when they win the gold medal at the World Indoor Tug-of-war Championship.
