★ 2017年 高雄市文化局 / 台灣華文原創故事編劇駐市計畫 ★ 編劇張英珉的創作立意來自以下兩點信念： 1、敬不放棄的自己： 張英珉時常參加馬拉松活動，馬拉松對人類來說，是一種挑戰「自我極限」的運動，在面對「極限」之時，如何更加突破極限，突破自我懼怕與自我否定，是編劇在參與過程中體會到的人生課題。有次馬拉松前的睡夢中，他的左右小腿抽筋，當日又因為暈眩噁吐數回，跑的過程中，腦中不時浮現自我否定的念頭，「你不可能完成的！」「中斷吧，放棄吧！」儘管如此，他的雙腿仍沒有停下，沒有放棄的意志力帶他跑到終點，成為當次馬拉松最後一位回來的跑者，自我否定的念頭在越過終點線後瞬間消失，最後一位又怎麼樣？他發現沒有中途棄賽的自己原來這麼厲害。 2、人生唯一的對手是自己： 2007年，波嘉特納從101大樓上跳傘而下，這讓張英珉對這些大樓的想像有了不一樣的可能性，用建築物去思索它，便無法想到這一步，但是「若把摩天大樓想像成一座高山，有人受困其上卻又無法搜救時，該怎麼辦？」登上山完成一次登頂，就是一次的「高峰經驗」。 山就在那裡，沒有敵人，沒有對手，只要你訓練完畢，誰都可以登山上去，真正的對手，通常都是登山者自己，那驅動自己完成的動力到底是什麼──便是一種「克服自我」的成就感。

The idea and purpose behind this project stems from the following two beliefs. 1. Be proud of never giving up： Screenwriter CHANG Ying-min often participates in marathons, which are always a test of one’s limits. And when facing one’s limits, being able to break through that fear and self-doubt is a valuable life lesson. Ying-min recalls how he once suffered cramps and dizziness during a marathon and threw up multiple times. Despite his brain telling him that it was impossible to finish and urging him to give up, he never stopped and persevered to the end. Even though he was the last person to cross the finish line, he was never prouder of himself. 2. In life, your only opponent is yourself： The seeds of ZHANG Ying-min’s original idea were reshaped in 2007, when Felix BAUMGARTNER parachuted off the top of the Taipei 101 building. He thought: “What if a mountain is turned into a skyscraper, and you find yourself trapped on it, without anyone coming to your rescue?” Mountain climbing has no enemy or opponent; anyone can do it if they complete the requisite training. The true opponent is usually the mountain climber himself or herself. And the driving force that pushes them to accomplish the feat is the sense of accomplishment that comes with “overcoming yourself”.
