The Resistance of Seven People

The flames of war burned across the land of North China, and a county town in central Hebei was reduced to scorched earth under the iron heel of the Japanese army. Former Northeast Army soldier Zhao Shanhe witnessed the massacre of the village on his way back home. Female teacher Su Wan escaped from the bombed school with the wounded. Old Orion Ma Laoshuan went into the mountains to save his captured son. Grocery shop apprentice Gou Sheng was hunted down for delivering food to the anti-Japanese people. Doctor Liu Da The husband refused to treat a Japanese officer and was wanted with a reward, Blacksmith Zhang smashed the weapons made for the Japanese army and fled overnight, shopkeeper Qian hid supplies and waited for opportunities to donate to the anti-Japanese troops - seven ordinary people with different identities met by chance in the mountains and forests due to a Japanese "mopping up". From the initial suspicion and dispute, to cooperating to set traps for survival to repel the enemy; from being cautious in temporary companionship, to gradually trusting each other in ambushes, investigations, and transfers. They used blunderbuss and machetes against sophisticated weapons, relied on herbal medicine and native methods to treat the wounded, and relied on their wisdom to establish intelligence networks and supply lines in enemy-occupied areas. The cave is a base, and tactics are discussed over the campfire. The support of the people is the confidence, and the price of sacrifice makes them understand better why they are fighting. From a seven-man team to being integrated into the regular armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, from sporadic raids to bloody battles in cooperation with the counterattack, some of them died in the bunker to protect their comrades, some fell under the gunpoint while delivering information, and some used their lifelong medical skills to protect their lives until the last moment. When the flag of victory was planted on the top of the city, the survivors looked back at the journey. The friendship condensed in the beacon fire and the perseverance written in blood have long been transformed into immortal sparks in the national memory. This is an epic about ordinary people standing up in troubled times. They may be ordinary, but they use courage and courage to stand up.
