During the September 18th Incident, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order of non-resistance. In just a few months, the Japanese invaders invaded a large area of the Northeast. The soldiers and civilians in the Northeast, unwilling to become slaves to the country's subjugation, rose up to resist.
Xue Shoucheng, the third son of the owner of a wine shop in Pingyang Town, said goodbye to his newlywed wife, joined the Volunteer Army, and devoted himself to the fight against the Japanese invasion. He experienced the difficult journey of the Volunteer Army from victory to decline, to fighting in the Soviet Union, and finally returning to his motherland, Xinjiang.
