Storyline

In the late 1920s, American woman writer Agnes Smedley is introduced in Shanghai to Red Army division commander Liu Xian, who tells her about the legendary experiences of General Zhu De. Later, Smedley finally reaches Yan'an, meets the legendary Zhu De, and witnesses the even more legendary Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. In Yan'an, she experiences General Zhu De's great yet ordinary personal charm, and through several conversations with him, her thoughts are enlightened and her soul elevated. With admiration and reverence, she plans to write a biography of Zhu De so that people around the world can understand this fatherly Red Army leader, and she requests to join the Communist Party of China. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Smedley follows Zhu De's troops fighting across the country, objectively reporting the Eighth Route Army's resistance to the world. Chiang Kai-shek instructs Kuomintang local forces to create friction with our army, and General Zhu De resolves the crisis with a spirit of understanding the big picture...
