It examines how sports culture has been expressed under the social development of both countries.

Conclusion: 1) In the context of the sports system based on Chinas national system, the female characters and bodies displayed in Chinese sports movies are social mirror narratives, showing the grand feelings of family and country. 2) The representation of women in British sports films is characterized by post-feminist image displays of the female body. 3) Different cultural backgrounds have varying interpretations of the core values of sports culture, which are reflected in sports-related films and television shows.
