Story prototype:
In the early 1990s, while China made great achievements in women's table tennis, China's men's table tennis was at a low ebb. With the support of Xu Yinsheng and other table tennis players and leaders of the older generation, Cai Zhenhua, then the head coach of men's table tennis, was ordered to form a new team at a critical moment, leading Ma, Wang Tao, Ding Song, Liu and Kong to become "Five Tiger Generals" after a period of hard training.
Finally, at the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships, the Jedi fought back and returned to the peak. This film is based on this history. The film pays tribute to the national ball, relives the historical moment, and reproduces the self-game and feelings of home and country.
