    As one of the lead actors, Eddie Peng (彭于晏) is delighted with To The Fore‘s submission, “Being selected [to represent Hong Kong] for the Best Foreign Film award is a big honor and great encouragement. I hope more foreign audiences and filmmakers will see that the Chinese film industry can also produce great sports films! I’m thankful to Dante for having given me this opportunity.”

I’m so honored to have had the chance to participate in this film, and I wish to share my joy with the director, Eddie Peng, and everyone else who had a part to play! Thank you very much!”
