Little Xiao, The Child Soldier

Xiao starts as a self-pitying and rebellious preteen in a poverty-ridden slum. Aiming to reclaim her freedom in a patriarchal world, she disguises herself as a man to climb the ranks of the military.
When a rash girl frequently scrapes past adversity, mental wounds accumulate. When will she burst?
