Synopsis

In the winter of 1941, Hong Kong fell to the Japanese and the Chinese Communist Party's underground organisation in Hong Kong was severely damaged.

A member of the Communist Party, Ye Chong, codenamed "Autumn Cicada", is sent on a "top-secret mission" to the Japanese military headquarters in Hong Kong.

The cunning Japanese army has cut off all means of communication of the organization, and the Japanese spy chief, Gong Ben Cang Ye, is focused on Ye Chong, making him difficult at every turn.

During one mission after another, Ye Chong continued to establish contact with his comrades, passing information to the organisation and disrupting Japanese military operations through this covert front.

As the battle progressed, Ye Chong's feelings for his comrades and loved ones grew deeper and deeper.

As time passed, the bitter years of the fall came to the end of 1944.

The Japanese army was losing ground in the Pacific and the war-monger Qing Quan Shang Ye had devised the outrageous "Nuo Ya" plan...
