On the banks of the Songhua River in Northeast China, a young man falls in love with the granddaughter of a car shop owner. Soon after, the "September 18 Incident" breaks out, and Japan invades Northeast China, killing the granddaughter's parents. The young man is captured, but in the midst of a surprise attack by the volunteer army on the Japanese, he manages to escape back to the car shop, where he finds a lecherous Japanese sergeant about to assault the shop's granddaughter, and he kills the sergeant. He takes the granddaughter and escapes this location. After the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident," the young man, his granddaughter, and others resist the oppression of the Japanese, joining the volunteer army to fight against them. The film has received high praise from critics. The director's handling is distinctive, utilizing vivid montage language; the shots are subtle, concise, and powerful. Many scenes are realistic, impressive, and thrilling. The use of sound effects complements the visuals, creating a unified artistic image. For instance, the opening scenes of welcoming and seeing off the car team showcase the rural life and customs of Northeast China, offering a unique flavor. The interludes in the film are also one of the successful examples of the use of interludes in Chinese cinema. Accompanied by the song "Four Seasons" sung by the girl, various scenes and changes in montage fully express the emotions and situations of the time, achieving a combination of lyrical expression and environmental representation.
