The first generation: forge ahead and surpass themselves

In 1981, short track speed skating started in China. In those days, those who came into contact with this sport were often sprinters in the original standard track speed skating event. "Beyond" also strives to restore this historical reality when shaping it, portraying Wu Qinghong, a Chinese skater in the 1950s.

For example, Chen Jingye, played by Hu Jun, focuses on training hard but is not a talented player. His journey to the Olympic gold medal is also full of twists and turns and is quite bumpy. After experiencing double failures in his career, marriage and family, Chen Jingye, as the head coach of the Heilongjiang team, spoke the truth and was cold and harsh.

Zheng Kaixin, played by Sha Yi, is a "talented player" who was unruly in his youth but has a strong sense of justice in his heart.

Head coach Zheng Kaixin saw Chen Mian's shining points and admitted her as an exception, which also officially opened the door to Chen Mian's short track speed skating career.

He grew into the main player of the Qingdao team and was successfully selected for the national team. .

During his time with the national team, Chen Mian met his former "old enemy" Xiangbei and also encountered greater challenges. Afterwards, Chen Mian and Xiang Bei reconciled and agreed to work together towards winning a Winter Olympics medal the following year. However, Yan Xiujing, a strong rival from the Korean team, defeated Chen Mian time and time again in major international competitions and became her insurmountable inner demon. Just when Chen Mian was at a bottleneck, Xiang Bei, who retired due to a foul by the Korean team, returned from studying abroad and resolutely became Chen Mian's skating protector.
