The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 changed the fate of Chen Weimin, a grocer in San Francisco's Chinatown.
He is a second-generation Chinese American who can recite the Declaration of Independence, but he will always be regarded as a "Chinaman". To prove that he belonged to this land, at the age of nineteen, he put on a military uniform and embarked on the Pacific battlefield.
From the white sandy beaches of Makin Island, to the "Green Hell" of Guadalcanal, to the blood-stained coral sands of Tarawa - he fought through every bloody battle alive, surviving from a new recruit to a veteran amidst the mud, malaria and the corpses of his comrades.
Until the end of 1944, the hospital ship he was ordered to escort was sunk by the Japanese army. On the burning sea, he and three Japanese female prisoners of war - the calm and forbearing military doctor Liangzi, the cold and violent special forces member Qianxia, and the innocent and fragile little nurse Hanae - were washed up on an isolated desert island by the ocean currents.
Blue lagoons, snow-white beaches, and jungles that change with the seasons. In this Garden of Eden forgotten by the world, the four enemies gradually became each other's only family.
But the civilized world will not let them go. When a Japanese reconnaissance boat appears on the horizon, the three women must make a choice: return to the country where lies are spun, or betray it and protect the "enemy."
After the war, one of the women jumped into the sea and committed suicide. She never told what happened on the island until her death.
An island imprisoned them for two years. Gave it to heaven and gave it to hell.
Blue blood stains the white sand. The Pacific remembers everything.
