Beautiful Warrior: The Legend of the Nun's Kung Fu

Résumé

A lively retelling of the legend of Wu Mei, a woman who was allowed to study Kung Fu with Buddhist monks at the Shaolin Monastery. Political turmoil isolates Wu Mei from her family but her self discipline and dedication to training provide a new path. The Shaolin Monastery is credited as the birthplace of the Kung Fu fighting style popularized by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Wu Mei's finest student is also female fighting for her right to live as she wanted. Both heroines of this story must draw on inner strength and discipline that are core concepts of Kung Fu which means "human effort".
