World at Your Feet (球在你脚下) is a Singapore Mediacorp Channel 8 television series produced in 2014, which premiered on 14 May 2014. It revolves around the theme of football, as a lead-up to the 2014 FIFA World Cup held at Brazil.
Mei Renxin (Ha Yu) is a weirdo who is withdrawn. He does not get along well with people and is unapproachable.
Renxin’s anti-social behaviour is a result of an incident some years ago. His wife fainted on the road but nobody went to her aid. She died tragically and in bitterness after missing the window period to revive her.
Renxin was a celebrated football coach well known for his game strategies back then. However, the sudden death of his wife caused him much guilt. He could not forgive himself for neglecting and shortchanging her. Thereafter, he sank into oblivion and kept a distance from the sports arena.
The Mei family lives next door to the Mo family. The two families are separated by a thin wall.
The two neighbours are on bad terms as Renxin is unapproachable. He had several brushes with Mo Lihua (Vivian Lai), the second sister in the Mo family, over some petty matters. It came to the point where their neighbourly ties were soured. The feuding resulted in the enmity between the Mei and Mo families.
In his youth, Hong Canghai (Tay Ping Hui) was high-spirited and a name to be reckoned with in football. His tricky “random kick” was a delight to watch. His forte was the penalty kick where he could send the ball to any point and even kick it straight into the goal. As his wife Zheng Yongyi (Yvonne Lim) cannot get along with his mother, Canghai has no choice but to move out. This leads to his younger brother, Hong Dehai (Ian Fang), resenting him for abandoning their mother over a woman. They became estranged. Canghai has always been someone who values friendship. He never turns down anyone’s request to borrow money from him. As a result of that, his wife is very unhappy with him. Seeing that he has achieved nothing, his career-minded wife decides to leave him. The couple have two sons, Hong Qian Feng (Ivan Lo Kai Jun) and Hong Houwei (Tan Jun Sheng), aged 11 and 10 respectively. After the separation, Yongyi gains custody of the two children. Canghai and his children are miserable over their situation. Canghai refuses to give up. He will do anything to bring his broken family back together again.
