iDream 2025 Challenge – September Week 3

A female warrior’s journey to self-improvement.

In Foshan, no one dares to slack off in Lu Minxian’s (吕敏贤) class. On the training ground, she is a meticulous and demanding coach, because she carries a larger dream: to become the first female successor of the Hongsheng Liang School.
