Stranger from Shaolin

When her entire family is killed by the occupying Manchus, Yim Wing Chim (Wong Hang Sau) narrowly escapes to Shaolin temple. Disguised as a man, she persuades the abbot to let her stay and is given the job of fetching water from the well for the students. This 'job' is actually the start of her training, which builds up her strength and, as she frequently has to climb to the bottom of the well, teaches her to work in confined spaces... (hkcinemagic)
