description
In a quiet town nestled between rolling hills, young Cody navigated each day with quiet resilience. Small for his age and thin as a reed, he endured jeers from classmates and older students alike, their laughter etching lines of loneliness into his days. Weeks blurred into months of swallowed pride until one evening, staring at his faint reflection in a rain puddled alley, he clenched his fists—not in anger, but resolve. Honor meant more than comfort. Within days, he’d traded familiar streets for the dust-choked roads of a distant Chinese village, where a weathered gate marked the entrance to the Iron Lotus School. Dawn drills left his muscles screaming; wooden dummies splintered his knuckles. Yet each strike, each drop of sweat, became a silent vow—to carry his worth not in size, but in the fire no bully could extinguish.
