Lee Chong Wei is a 2018 Malaysian biographical sports drama film directed by Teng Bee, about the story of national icon Lee Chong Wei, who rose from poverty to become the top badminton player in the world. The film is based on Lee's 2012 autobiography Dare to Be a Champion (which has been translated into English by Patty Tai Peck Sing). The film stars in the title role two newcomers: 13-year-old Jake Eng and 22-year-old Tosh Chan, who were picked from more than 2,000 auditioned hopefuls.
