Synopsis

The film begins as He Hua (Le Di, also in "The Love Eterne"), a young girl who has been sold to a brothel, tries to escape and is helped by two painters, Yu Rui (Chen Hou) and Guan Sansheng (Li Kun). After the police close the place down, He Hua and Yu Rui get married and settle into a good, honest life. Their peace is soon shattered by the invasion of the Japanese and the brutal regime which follows. Making matters worse, the owners of the brothel are released from jail and become collaborators with the oppressors, using their position to get revenge on the couple. Eventually, Yu Rui escapes and joins a local band of guerrilla fighters led by the former police chief, who struggle to liberate the province from the invaders.
