Once upon a time, in a remote village, lived a young man named Xiaoqiang. He was kind and helpful by nature, but he had been frail and sickly since childhood, and he was too weak to even bind a chicken. Everyone in the village knew that Xiaoqiang was a good child, but he was really too weak to do even the simplest farm work. One day, a bully came to the village. He oppressed the people and acted recklessly, and no one in the village dared to resist. Xiaoqiang felt very sad to see his fellow villagers suffering, but he knew that he was too weak to resist. At this time, an elder who was highly respected in the village found Xiaoqiang. The elder told Xiaoqiang that strength is not only shown in the body, but also in wisdom and courage. The elder taught Xiaoqiang martial arts, and he developed great skills, and finally helped the villagers drive away the bully and protect the peace of the village.
