Shanshan happens to be Ah Xiang's top fan, knowing every single thing about him, as she bears a torch on him. It is later found out that Shanshan is actually the sister of Ah Xiang's best friend, whom died of illness.

On the other hand, Zhao Dajie managed to overcome the fact that his left arm was broken, and made use of it to defeat his opponent. He brought his opponent down in merely 7 seconds in round 2, the same opponent who humiliate him in the friendly match.

Review:
Hmmm... a not bad movie, I would say.
The story is clear, simple & sweet enough.
One point I hate about this, it's not on wikipedia or anywhere, so I have to write out the plot myself.
Fortunately, the plot is simple.
Well, weren't expecting much on the boxing part though, I'm more to seeing how well Amber Kuo & Eddie Peng acted in this film.
Amber Kuo from model, singing, drama to film, I would like to see how much she improved.
Well, I would say... she did, somehow.
I watched the whole of Woody Sambo 无敌珊宝妹, the drama series starring her and Nicholas Teo 张栋梁, that's why.
And on an occasion where I happen to watch showbiz 完全娱乐 on TV, it's all about Eddie Peng.
Based on what I know so far, Eddie Peng started off as a model, then acted in idol dramas as some supporting roles. After he proved to everyone how good his acting was, he moved on to act as starring leads in movies & dramas. Recently, he turned into a pop-singer. Well, he can dance pretty well.
So yeah, if you wanna watch a boxing-romance, catch this!
Cheers!
