In central China, a Master coach recruits poor rural teenagers and turns them into Western-style boxing champions. Through hard work and discipline, these boys and girls come of age, trained in the art of boxing and the game of life. They are filled with Olympic dreams, hoping to become China's next amateur heroes. But the pull of professionalism also weighs upon their shoulders. Their coach hopes to show them the way. The top student boxers face dramatic choices as they graduate - should they fight for the collective good as amateurs or for themselves and their own personal gain as professionals? It's a metaphor for the choices that everyone faces now, in the New China.

Movie Reviews

NOW Toronto - 10/10 by Norman WilnerWhen China Heavyweight goes all Rocky in a climactic bout, it feels like it's lurching to life for the first time.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Liam LaceyAs with his previous film, director Chang nurses a compelling drama from a multilayered cultural reality, at once intimate and unfathomably large in implications.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerIt's really about the ways in which Chinese westernization clashes with the traditionalism of Confucian teachings. It's about competition versus piety.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Linda BarnardIt stands as a fascinating look at a changing China and the courage it takes for those living there to punch above their weight.
Film Comment Magazine - 8/10 by Meredith SlifkinChang works within the philosophical framework of the world of boxing to paint a poignant and often incisive portrait of the evolving Chinese cultural landscape and the temptations and ambitions that come with change.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoChang doesn't pull his punches in this continuing look at a changing, out-of-control China.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Janice PageWhere Wiseman excelled in respecting the broad rhythms and pure storytelling of the ring, Chang's new documentary focuses on the stories of three boxers and weaves them into a compelling narrative that rivals anything Hollywood could script.
Time Out - 8/10 by Keith UhlichIt's in between the lines that this movingly perceptive film scores a TKO.
Variety - 8/10 by Justin ChangAs he did in his Three Gorges Dam documentary "Up the Yangtze," Chang examines how a particular strain of Western culture promises opportunity and prosperity for Chinese youth, even as it remains a continual source of intergenerational tension.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisIllustrating the film's rags-to-ring narrative with panoramic mountain views and compact shots of young bodies punching their way up the food chain, Mr. Sun straddles ancient and modern, tranquillity and turmoil, with equal sureness.
