The Hong Kong film "Mama's Magic Boy", which was released earlier last month, is a live-action adaptation of the film, which records the inspirational story of Su Huawei, the world's number one record holder in the paralympic Olympic athletics competition so far, from birth to winning the Olympic gold medal. In my article today, I found in this film boldly pointing out the history of athletes with disabilities that were not supported and protected at the time.
What is the confidence that makes Hong Kong movies dare to tell the truth?

Let me first talk about what plots in the movie say that Hong Kong did not support and protect the disabled to participate in the Olympic Games at that time, so as to win glory for Hong Kong?
There are three important roles in this movie: the first is definitely the "magic boy" Su Huawei, the other is Su Huawei's mother (Wu Junru), who never gives up on Su Huawei's disability, and Coach Fang (Zhang Jicong), who has been accompanying and training Su Huawei.
First, the participation of Hong Kong disabled athletes in the Olympic Games will not be broadcast to the public on television.
When Su Huawei participated in the Atlanta Olympic Games for the first time, Su's mother encouraged her son to compete alone in foreign countries, so on the bus to the airport, Su's mother said that she would help Su Huawei on TV: "I also saw Li Lishan's participation in the TV broadcast at that time. Coach Fang explained that Li Lishan participated in the Olympic Games of normal people, and the TV station would broadcast it, but the Olympic Games tv station for the disabled would not broadcast it live to the public.
Second, at that time, Hong Kong's rewards for Olympic athletes were not equal pay for equal work. The gold medal for the disabled to participate in the Olympic Games is only 1/10 of the prize money of the normal Olympic Games.
Su's mother mentioned in the movie that after Li Lishan won the gold medal, Hong Kong rewarded 1 million in cash. Then Coach Fang said that the disabled participate in the Olympic Games, even if they win the gold medal, the prize money is not so much. At that time, after Wu Junru heard Coach Fang's explanation in this movie, he immediately made a gesture with a big difference and used body language to strengthen the meaning of equal pay for different work.
The magnitude of this contrast shocked Mama Su, and at the same time shocked me before the movie.
Third, the daily life of athletes in Hong Kong at that time. It is not protected and guaranteed.
Su Huawei has won many medals for Hong Kong and won many honors for Hong Kong. Behind these honors and auras, Su Huawei actually could not even guarantee the basic living expenses of Japan.
Su Huawei's family has changed, and his father was accidentally injured and admitted to the hospital. Su's mother had to go outside to work four jobs a day, and her brother gave up the football team he loved to work to earn money. Su Haowei had to work for a courier company to earn money. When the coach came to ask Su Huawei if he would continue to play sports, Su Huawei said: "I am now in the express delivery company, and my monthly income is 7,000 yuan." If I turned positive, I could get another month's salary; but if I didn't work as a courier, but as an athlete, I would only have a monthly allowance of 3,000 yuan. ”
Athletes can't even guarantee a basic livelihood without the rewards of the event, and their income is not even half of the salary of the grass-roots couriers. If an athlete can't even guarantee his daily expenses, how can he still have the time and mood to devote himself to sports training?
Hong Kong movies are so dare to say, so dare to evaluate. So why can they "dare" so much?
I personally feel that it is for the following reasons:
1. Hong Kong allows and supports "freedom of speech".
This is related to the previous influence of British education in Hong Kong, which allows "freedom of speech". If they feel that they have been treated unfairly, Hong Kong people can express it through demonstrations and other means. As long as it doesn't affect others, Hong Kong people like to say whatever they like.
2. The phenomenon mentioned in the movie has now been improved. Su Huawei participated in several Olympic Games from 1996 to 2008. After so many years of development, Hong Kong now has a high level of attention and protection for the disabled and disabled athletes. Now Hong Kong TELEVISION will have public service advertisements to teach hong Kong citizens what to do and how to help when they encounter disabled people on weekday roads, on public transportation.
Do you think I'm right? The above is my personal opinion, if you have other different meanings, welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let's exchange oh.
