brief introduction

This film reflects the desire and pursuit of human freedom in the war from the perspective of young people.

194 1 By the end of the year, four years had passed in Shanghai and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. On the surface of the Huangpu River, muddy water is floating with mud. In the foreign concession where thousands of westerners live, everything is still peaceful and quiet. At this time, the Japanese occupation army, which had been coveted for a long time outside the concession, was silently waiting for the Pearl Harbor incident.

On the eve of 12.8, a masquerade party was being held in a villa in the suburbs. 1 1 year-old Jim held a model plane in his hand and recognized Louis XVI, Ali, French celebrities and Chaplin in the crowded mask. Jim vaguely heard a news broadcast from the noisy music: "The German army has been blocked on the Eastern Front. In Washington, the White House once again summoned the Japanese ambassador to discuss Japan's disturbing actions in the South Pacific. The Japanese ambassador has repeatedly stressed that Japan has no intention of going to war with the United States ... ". The lively dance was suddenly cast a shadow. People talked in low voices in small groups. A China businessman advised Jim's father to leave Shanghai as soon as possible, but the English gentleman thought disapprovingly that the Japanese were still far away from them. A plane roared by. Mr. Mastej asked Jim, is it a zero plane? Jim replied skillfully, no, it's long island style. The dance ended early in a tense atmosphere.

When Jim and his family arrived at the checkpoint in the concession in a Parker car, they were surprised to find that the checkpoint guarded by the Chinese and British police a few hours ago had now fallen into the hands of the Japanese. It was an ominous sign, and they decided to move to a hotel temporarily.

It's almost dawn, and the Japanese warships on the Huangpu River are blinking. Long Island planes roared by, with loud explosions and flames everywhere. The Jim family woke up from their sleep and fled the hotel with the frightened crowd. At this time, the streets and alleys are already crowded with fleeing citizens. Jim was knocked unconscious in the crowd and he was separated from his parents.

Jim wandered aimlessly in the street. Two young Americans named Bessie and Frank sent the homeless Jim to the auction market. Their deal with a China businessman failed, so they took Jim to try their luck again. Just when they went to Jim's house, they didn't want Jim's house to be full of Japanese soldiers. All three of them were arrested.

Three years later, Jim was fourteen years old. Three years in a concentration camp made naive Jim look a little older. Jim and Bessie once learned to break the rice cover from death row and get a decreasing ration. But he also learned from Dr. Lan why he wanted to live. Young Jim struggled with death with this belief. Every time he eats, Jim always eats the weevil counted from the wheat with relish, as if he were completing a sacred mission. Once, he ate 87 weevils in one breath, and Mrs. Wen sat shivering and miserable. Jim often sees some American life magazines and reader's abstracts from Bessie. He likes Americans' generous humor and bohemian character very much. One day, Jim came to Bessie's cabin and saw Bessie and Dandy looking at a compass and a map. Jim knew they were talking about prison break. Right here, Private Tian came to search Bessie's cabin. Jim cleverly hid the compass in Youtian's eyes, so that Bessie was spared. One day later, in order to find out whether there are mines near the barbed wire, Bessie tricked Jim into going to catch the pheasant next to the barbed wire, and Jim was almost found by Japanese soldiers. Bessie confirmed that there was no mine near the barbed wire, and she was secretly pleased.

One morning, several American Mustang fighters dropped a concealed bomb on the fields and airports around the concentration camp. The Japanese anti-aircraft guns gave a faint groan. That night, two shadows emerged from under the barbed wire under the night light. The next day, Jim found that the Japanese army was gathering for battle. He immediately understood what was going on. When he wanted to tell Bessie, Frank told him sadly that Bessie had left. Bessie and Dandy took the compass that Jim got and ran along the road that Jim explored. Jim is very sad.

One day, a strange fire broke the silence of dawn, and an incandescent fireball flashed a rosy halo, reflecting the sky white. Back in the light, Jim saw Mrs. Wen close her eyes tightly and go to find her god peacefully. Jim realized why Uncle Sam left a sun in Nagasaki. It is because the emperor framed God, locked him in a bamboo cage and only let him eat and drink. Now she is free, so the world is destroyed and people walk into their graves.

With the sound of "Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong". Jim was reunited with his long-lost parents. They embraced with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

It was another sunny morning, and the street was crowded with people celebrating the victory. "Japanese imperialism, go back!" "Celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War!" People waved flags and shouted slogans happily.

The sun is rising, the Huangpu River is sparkling, the water is rushing, and flowers are floating on the water surface, fluctuating with the waves.
