In the stone siheyuan village of Cuandixia, little Yan lived happily with her grandmother, helping her each afternoon as they prepared cookies for tea—yet she always felt something missing.
One day, a great-aunt visiting from Dubai brought her the most beautiful doll she had ever seen, and from that moment Xiang became part of Yan’s heart and her daily tea ceremonies.
When a tough neighborhood boy tried to take Xiang away, Yan remembered her martial arts lessons and defended her doll with graceful courage.
The boy fled, the neighbors cheered “Ura!,” and Yan learned that kindness can be noble—but it can also be strong.
