Monk Comes Down the Mountain

In the 1930s, young Taoist priest He Anxia (Baoqiang Wang) was cast out of his impoverished monastery to go seek his own way in the world. As he returns to civilization--and seeks to hone his martial arts skills under a succession of different masters--what he learns of human nature may be the biggest help when his tutors seem headed for violent conflict.
