The unremarkable sand factory owner Xiang Tenghui (played by Wang Baoqiang) was once a skilled and promising fighter, but after believing his coach's advice and taking banned substances, he was banned from competition. Later, due to injuring someone, he ended up in prison. Since then, he has stayed away from the ring, drifting further from his youthful dreams. By chance, with the help of a con artist, Xiang Tenghui returns to fighting and establishes a children's martial arts club. He goes to remote mountainous areas to gather underage children who run wild, fight, and rob, teaching them to box for money, even resorting to fixing fights for profit. During these chaotic years, Xiang Tenghui sees his former self in the children and is unwilling to let them revert to their desperate lives of petty crime. Thus, he resolutely leads the youth onto the octagonal arena to fight against fate... This film is adapted from the true events of the "Fighting Orphans" in Liangshan, Sichuan.
