Set in 1976, turbulent days just after Mao Tse-Tung's death. People who focus on production and construction and those who insist political persecution struggle fiercely.
After being swindled out of his land by a local landlord in 1930s China, a grandfather commits suicide. His son burns down the landlord's house in a fit of rage, then escapes to join the PLA. His grandson later joins the PLA too in the 1940s to avenge his father, grandfather and mother.
