📖 Plot:
Ti (played by Stephen Chow) is a poor but honest and hardworking construction worker who wants the best education for his son, Dicky. Although they live in poverty, Ti enrolls Dicky in an elite private school where he is bullied for being poor and wearing old clothes.
Ti can’t afford fancy toys, but he teaches Dicky strong values and discipline. One day, while scavenging at a junkyard, Ti finds what looks like a glowing green ball. He brings it home as a "toy" for Dicky. That ball turns out to be an alien creature — a cute, dog-like being from outer space with mysterious powers. Dicky names it CJ7.
At first, CJ7 seems like a magical solution to Dicky’s problems — helping with school, bullies, and even dreams. But things don’t go as planned.
