Chasing the Wind (2024)

Because of a childhood contest, the young Nie Chi introduced the young Lin Ge to a sports school which marks the start to her short track speed skating career. Lin Ge is optimistic and bold, rough yet also subtle. Meanwhile, Nie Chi is calm, sharp and full of ideals. The two grow up under the loving care of their coach Fang Shi Zhong who is like a father to them. Together with Fang’s son, Feng Chao, the three make it into the provincial team. Due to the complications of being part of a family that prioritizes men over women, Lin Ge has a weak foundation from her irregular training; Nie Chi also has difficulty adapting to the group tactical trainings due to his straightforward and cold personality. Even though their lifestyle is often met with frequent frustrations, the three athletes continue to support each other. Nie Chi starts to develop feelings beyond that of friendship towards Lin Ge. Coinciding with the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the youths quickly grow into outstanding members of the national training team.
