In 1930 in Peiping, when the talented Shen Shuyao was teaching in a school, she met the young marshal Zhang Xueliang (pseudonym: Zhang Hanqing) who came to Peiping for inspection. Zhang Xueliang was moved by Shen Shuyao's talent and patriotism, and Zhang Xueliang also took actions to protect her from the war. The two fell in love with each other in the alleys and flames of war in Peiping, but were forced to separate due to the turmoil of the current situation, and finally reunited after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
