Lin Yu-hsien (Fan Kun Pa A Hsin, 2011)
As a young teen, Ashin, solidly played by Eddie Peng, is enamored of the athletic life; training and competing in gymnastics gives him focus and drive. When family and work responsibilities take him away from this love, Ashin and his best friend Pickle descend into the rudderless world of street fighting and drugs. Remarkably based on the true story of director Lin Yu-hsien’s older gymnast brother, Jump! Ashin fuses moving drama with inventive action and athletic sequences.
