Storyline

After the Battle of Shanghai breaks out, cook Meng Wanfu (Huang Chengcheng) only wants to survive but is forcibly conscripted by the Nationalist army. Brigade commander Zhang Yunkui (Wang Yang) is determined to serve his country but is driven into a desperate situation by poor decisions from the high command. On the battlefield, Zhang Yunkui resolves to die and leads the remnants of his unit to break through and reinforce the relief troops, entrusting Meng Wanfu with a mission to deliver news of the deaths to Nanjing. Zhang Yunkui miraculously survives but is slandered by Nationalist higher-ups as the 'Fleeing General'. With no redress, he meets New Fourth Army commander Xie Yufeng and regains hope, returning home to form a militia against the Japanese and joining the Communist Party of China. Meanwhile, Meng Wanfu unexpectedly becomes the caretaker of Zhang's family and shares hardships with Zhang's wife Ding Yujiao (Wan Qian). Guided by CCP underground member Zeng Xuefei, both soon join the communist revolution. At this critical moment for the nation, both frontline soldiers and civilians behind the lines realize that only the Communist Party of China can achieve national salvation. With the victory of the War of Resistance, on another Mid-Autumn night with a full moon, the unyielding Chinese people finally see the clouds part and the moon shine.
