Meet basketball girl Aguolieha, who comes from a rural village in the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China. Playing for a local team called the Blackhawks, the 13-year-old has a big dream: to become a professional player one day and join Team China. At first, her father was not supportive as he feared that sports training would make her grades fall. Proving to be excellent both academically and on the court, she often looks up to her idol Stephen Curry, and trains hard with her peers. She believes that the sky's the limit and that basketball games will help her dreams soar.
