In the cold winter of 1939, the Japanese army invaded southern Jiangsu. Chen Dejin, a cook in Mayuan Village, escaped the massacre of the village and rescued Zhou Fenglian, a girl from a snake-venom family. Under the guidance of the guerrilla traffic officer Lao Zhao, Chen Dejin sneaked into the Japanese military camp under a pseudonym, and using his cooking skills as a cover, he poisoned and killed 32 Japanese soldiers at the Japanese military's celebration banquet. He fed the enemy with puffer fish dishes, Zhou Fenglian conveyed military intelligence at the lakeside intelligence station, and made love in the reed swamp on a rainy night. Chen Dejin promised to "kill all the jackals and make you a fish for the rest of your life." Japanese military doctors saw through the toxin and set up a trap to test it. Zhou Fenglian jumped into a lake and faked her death. Chen Dejin took advantage of the meal delivery to rescue 16 guerrillas with Mongolian sweat medicine, and burned the granary to cover the evacuation. In the decisive battle, he poisoned puffer fish and killed Lieutenant Yamada, shouting "A banquet for the 108 innocent souls of Ma Yuan Village". After the war, the two joined the Taihu guerrillas, and Zhou Fenglian embroidered the poison hemlock handkerchief with red five stars. The theme of the story is "As long as the river flows, the fire in the kitchen will never go out." It shows that ordinary people write the legend of the Anti-Japanese War in the kitchen and the reed swamps using their food wisdom as a blade and love as a fire, and interprets the tenacious belief that "knife skills are tactics and kitchen fire is hope."
Intention: As long as the river continues to flow, the stove fire will never go out
