1. Jump! Boy (documentary)
http://www4.stut.edu.tw/project/phlife/life/jump_boys/jump_boys.htm

Several little boys from different families have totally different characteristics and tempers. They don't play computer games or go to the MacDonald's but go straight to the gym after school. This is their only common point.

This film shows the humorous observation with the cheerful and flowing tempo. The coach treats these kids like sons. From the story about the coach practiced the gymnastics to the sigh of disconnecting with the old teammates this film points out the poor gymnastic development of Taiwan between the present and the past.

2. Fishing Luck (Romance)
