In southwestern China, a Master coach recruits poor rural teenagers and turns them into Western-style boxing champions. Through hard work and discipline, these boys and girls hope to become China’s next Olympic heroes, but as they decide whether to fight for the collective good as amateurs or for themselves as professionals, their struggle becomes a metaphor for the choices that everyone faces in the New China.
