The Japanese invasion of China shattered Duan Yueshan's peaceful life. His wife was humiliated and thrown into a well, so he joined the Youth Army to fight against Japan. Because of his extraordinary skills, he was spotted by the military commander and engaged in an anti-rape operation to punish the Japanese traitors. After the Anti-Japanese War, he returned home and encountered land reform. He was almost shot because of his status as a military commander. He was rescued by his brother, the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army, and fled to Shanghai. When the Kuomintang failed, he donated precious ferry tickets to Taiwan to young students. After staying in the mainland, he was recruited by CCP agents for his righteous deeds and was sent to Zhoushan to undercover the old youth army, but to no avail. He also threw himself at Huang Bamei, a pirate with two guns, and was sent to Taiwan. When he was being screened in Taiwan, he was rescued by the students who had received the boat ticket ("Youth Reform Committee"), and he later served as a bodyguard of Chiang Ching-kuo. He took the CCP's signal and wanted to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, but gave up because his brother was suppressed. Later, he obtained a plane ticket through the transaction and transferred to San Francisco to escape.
