"Red Scarf Beacon Smoke" takes the Red Scarf Army uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty as the core background, and unfolds a group portrait of all living beings in troubled times: from Zhu Chongba chewing bark in a cold kiln in Haozhou, to Liu Futong planning a righteous deed in a wild temple in Yingzhou, From the refugees starving to death on the banks of the Yellow River to Xu Shouhui, a separatist in Qishui City, countless people who were driven to a dead end by the Yuan court's harsh government and famine clutched blood-stained red scarves and ignited a prairie fire of resistance in the Central Plains.
In this uprising, there was the passion of comrades who lived and died together, the desolation of the camp's split and rebellion, the excitement of the Northern Expedition when the troops came to the capital, and the decadence of the destruction of Bianliang City. In the end, tempered by the flames of war, a new master emerged to end the troubled times, and left behind countless loyal bones scattered in the wasteland. This is a past buried in the flames of war. It is a group of ordinary people who clashed in the huge waves of fate and echoed throughout the ages.
