    • Synopsis
    • Eighty-four-year-old Kung Fu Grandmaster Zhou Ting Jue has been called a "Jewel of the
      Nation" in China, however, his past has remained shrouded in mystery. Living in Southern
      California for the last 20 years, Master Zhou has cultivated a loyal clientele, including A-list
      celebrities, musicians, and athletes, who seek his unique Qi Gong healing technique--which has
      attracted the attention of television shows like “Ripley's Believe It or Not” and The History
      Channel’s “Stan Lee’s Superhumans.” When his 27-year-old granddaughter Jun Zhou, who grew
      up watching her grandfather on television, develops her own passion for Kung Fu, she also
      begins to inquire about Zhou's secretive past.

      Master Zhou takes Jun on an odyssey through his early life. From San Francisco’s Chinatown,
      where Zhou first arrived a penniless immigrant, to Shanghai where he mastered martial arts
      and was later imprisoned by the Chinese government, the duo seeks the mist-shrouded
      birthplace of Qi Gong--Wu Dang Mountain. Their connection deepens as they visit the poor,
      rural village where Zhou was born, as he reveals the life lessons and mental strength required
      to become a Kung Fu master.
