Yao Ming is studying in China as an international student from Nigeria. After graduating, he decides to stay in Beijing. He likes everything about China, and even names himself "Yao Ming", a great Chinese basketball player adored by the nation. He tries hard to immerse himself in Chinese society but soon realizes having a Chinese name is not enough, often ending up being misunderstood. Somehow, the cultural differences eventually put him in an awkward situation...

BEIJING DREAM is the graduation work of the new-generation director Zhang Wei. He originally planned to only shoot a short film about an African student living in Beijing. But, as the content was constantly enriched, it became a long story. The hero, named Yao Ming, dreams of becoming as popular as the superstar Yao Ming in a foreign country and strived for this dream. BEIJING DREAM analyzed and interpreted the living conditions of young people with its own unique idea from a new perspective and attracted the audience's attention with a fresh story plot.
