every corner. She takes refuge with Grandma Wu in her Martial Arts
Academy. There she becomes part of a whole new family, making friends
with three remarkable boy acrobats and learning kung fu. One day the
four children embark on a secret mission that changes their lives and
the course of history for ever.
