AT YOUR SERVICE

“Only when you’re willing to help others to succeed with your old injuries will you qualify as a coach.” This is a story of LIN Sheng-hsiang, a modern pentathlon coach who has learned to tear and heal.

Twenty years ago, LIN Sheng-hsiang was a successful athlete who enjoyed the glamour and glory in sports, who was once a child abandoned by the education system due to his unimpressive academic performance. LIN has redeemed himself in the modern pentathlon, an obscure sport in Taiwan. Now as a coach, LIN tries his best to serve disadvantaged children who have a similar background to his own.

He met CHEN You-hsuan, a talented young girl from a remote village in eastern Taiwan. LIN has dedicated himself and all the resources he could find to training You-hsuan. He hopes that if he manages to help You-hsuan qualify for the Olympic Games, he will realize his dream of bringing the Taiwanese modern pentathlon team onto the international stage. Nevertheless, everything seems to be going against his wishes.
