Storyline

In the early days of the War of Resistance, in a certain place in Northeast China, primary school teacher Leng Yun (played by Zhang Kaili) refuses to be a slave under the puppet Manchukuo regime and resolutely breaks with her husband who works for the puppet government, joining the Anti-Japanese Allied Army. Veteran soldier Wang Pifu (played by Jiang Hualin) sacrifices himself to cover the escape of his daughter Wang Huimin (played by Cai Ying) and Leng Yun. Leng Yun and Wang Huimin witness Japanese atrocities in Wuhe Village and, together with several sisters who share similar experiences, join the Allied Army. Leng Yun teaches the sisters to read, explains revolutionary principles, and builds a secret camp in the forest, where under extremely harsh conditions they sew cotton clothes for frontline comrades and care for wounded soldiers sent from the front. Squad leader Hu Xiuzhi (played by Wang Lanying), who has experienced many hardships and is resolute by nature, shares the organizational and management tasks of the camp with Leng Yun. As the Japanese encirclement and suppression intensifies, to cover the main force's retreat, the eight women, after firing their last bullet, walk into the surging river...
