Teen's 'wuxia' world

While many teenagers are struggling (奋斗) to write articles for their exams,Jin Minzhe has already written a whole book.

The ball then drops out of a falcon's mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon.The weight of the ball causes the dragon's head to move down and the dragon's tail pulls the water bowl back up.
