Logo for Chinese School - Olympic Fever

Documentary series about a group of children at three schools in rural China. Xiuning county may be 1000 miles from Beijing, but that hasn't stopped Olympic fever reaching its schools ahead of China's first time hosting the games. It's Autumn and, after the heat of summer and exams, students hit the sports field. With 3400 students, Haiyang Middle school is the largest school in the county so sports day is a mammoth undertaking for the deputy head teacher; for school radio DJ Zha Yujie, it's the highlight of the year. Ping Min primary school holds its first sports day ever. Young champion Dai Deli is determined to take gold.
