The story takes place in the Pingbei area (a county in the northern suburbs of Beijing). Zhang Changsuo, a wealthy man in Shilitun Village, was appointed as the village chief by the Japanese and puppet township chief. With his sincerity, he repaired houses for the villagers, drove away wolves, and formed a village protection team, winning the trust of his fellow villagers. As a bloody Chinese, Zhang Changsuo gradually grew from a "two-faced village chief" to a staunch Communist Party member under the influence and education of Xiao Bailong, leader of the Pingbei Tenth Regiment, and others. He used his special status to raise military supplies for the Eighth Route Army, rescue captured leaders, eliminate traitors in a skillful deal with the Japanese, and also led the joint defense team to defect to the Eighth Route Army... In the novel, Duan Suquan, secretary of the Pingbei District Committee, Wang Kang, leader of the 10th Regiment, Zeng Wei, secretary of the Yanqing County Party Committee, and the Xiyangfang Massacre, the Double Battalion Battle, and the Luzhuang Grain Seizing War are all real people and historical events in the history of Pingbei's Anti-Japanese War, adding to the authenticity of the novel.
