After the film screening, Comrade Tenzin, former vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said in his speech that "Shunzi Refueling" has experienced considerable difficulties from conception, fund-raising funds to filming links, and it is difficult to shoot sports-themed films, and expressed gratitude to the main creative team.
