Japan Prize 2014 The Best Work of Youth Category - Children of Our Planet-The Ways to Embrace Imperfection

This is a ten-year record of watching a boy in Taiwan grow through childhood to college. Lin Yen-liang was born with cerebral palsy. Since he was very little, his father gave him foot massages every single day to help him walk. Even so, he has to endure how his classmates see him in school. In high school, Yen-liang makes a bunch of good friends. They do what they can to help him, such as cleaning his bed at lunchtime, taking him to the toilet and dealing with his feces. Yen-liang’s great sense of humor, his family’s deep affection and good friendships make his life a happy one.
