My greatest pride is that I have chosen a path I like, kept challenging myself, and created a path on my own, said Gao Jiawen. Looking back on his parkour experience, Gao Jiawen said that when he was first invited to Germany to participate in the competition, he didn’t think he would have won an award. When his read was read, he was in a state of excitement. “All the efforts I have made are worthwhile, and I feel like winning glory for my motherland and my hometown Chongqing,” said Gao Jiawen.

When telling the stories of Gao Jiawen, the documentary displays the magnificent cross-river bridges, the running trains, and the good-looking viewing platforms in Chongqing.
