Peter Chan's highly acclaimed sports film "Leap" depicts the struggles of several generations of the Chinese women's national volleyball team from 1981 to 2016. The team has been the pride of the nation since first claiming the World Cup in 1981, before going on to achieve 10 major world titles. Lang Ping — the most iconic Chinese volleyball player in history — is the central character of the film. The young version of her is played by her daughter, while legendary Chinese actress Gong Li portrays her during her later years. 

"Leap" would evoke nostalgic memories for many Chinese people and looks set to become a breakthrough for the genre in China after its release on Sept. 25.
