Storyline

In 1840, the Opium War breaks out and British forces breach Guangzhou, plunging the opium-ravaged populace into darkness. He Yucheng, a gentry from Xiaogang, is entrusted by Guan Tianpei with the mission to defend the city. The story begins with Liu Sanyi, a martial arts instructor in Sanyuanli village, and his brother Wei Shaoguang attempting to burn foreign merchant ships at the Thirteen Factories. The film authentically recreates the little-known history of the Sanyuanli resistance against the British, intertwining tragic aesthetics with historical texture to depict a personal vendetta stemming from a bloody incident at an opium den and escalating into a national struggle at Niulangang. It pays tribute to the ancestors: when foreign aggression strikes, every ordinary person who steps forward is a hero illuminating the nation's dark night.
