Hua Renjie, a special forces commander and a university student pursuing further studies, is reborn in Northeast China in 1932 due to an accident. Japanese invaders trample the black earth of the three northeastern provinces. Only sixteen years old, Hua Renjie draws on memories from his future life and refuses to endure humiliation. Carrying the dreams of a man in his heart, he takes up a gun and joins the war against Japan. He fights across the mountains and rivers of the northeast, the lands of Yanzhao, and the mountains of Qilu, building up his own formidable strength, tearing up the unequal treaties, reclaiming lost territory, and creating a land of refuge for himself and his comrades. Passion burns bright through youth: smoke fills the skies, wildflowers bloom on the battlefield, and chivalrous devotion mingles with tender affection. Love and longing bind the heart, while countless Japanese invaders fall and heroic blood is spilled without end. This is the heroic legend of an iron-blooded man who fought through the years of the War of Resistance against Japan!
