《Zero to Hero》Film Introduction
The story recounts the remarkable journey of Hong Kong para-athlete So Wah-wai, illustrating that in life, even if one starts at a disadvantage, persistence can lead to crossing the finish line and becoming the ultimate victor. So Wah-wai faced challenges from an early age—he was diagnosed with seizures and hearing impairment shortly after birth, and even walking posed difficulties. However, under his mother's determined training, he learned to walk and discovered a talent for running. He was eventually invited to join the Hong Kong Paralympic Athletics Team.
So Wah-wai participated in multiple Disabled Athletes Games, winning numerous gold medals. To this day, he holds the world records for the “Men’s 100 meters” and “Men’s 200 meters” in the para-athlete category, earning him the nickname “Miracle Kid.”
Despite initially aspiring to be a full-time athlete, So Wah-wai faced a setback when his father suffered a work-related injury. To support his family, he took up a job as a courier, balancing work and training. He ventured into advertising and commercial appearances with his mother's assistance, akin to a celebrity. However, this led to neglecting his training, causing friction with his coach, Coach Fong.

Amidst this tension, So Wah-wai’s relationship with his mother is also strained. At the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, he faced unprecedented pressure due to the competition and his disagreement with his mother. Fortunately, just before competing, he received encouragement from his father and opponents and reconciled with his mother.
In a dramatic turn of events, So Wah-wai clinched the championship and broke the world record in the “Men’s 200 meters.” As he stepped onto the podium to receive his medal, the Bird’s Nest Stadium echoed with the song “Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies,” sung by the entire audience of ninety thousand. So Wah-wai felt the glory of life, never forgetting that his initial motivation for winning gold was to provide his mother, who lacked gold ornaments during her wedding, with the chance to finally “wear gold and silver.” Thus, even though she couldn’t stand on the podium with him, she shared in the honour.
Extra Mile Charity Foundation received a certificate of appreciation from the school.
