Synopsis

The story unfolds during the "isolated island" period in Macau between 1942 and 1945, amidst the turmoil of World War II. After the fall of Hong Kong in December 1941, Macau became a vital hub for the exchange of strategic materials and international intelligence, thrust into the spotlight. Although the Portuguese colonial government claimed neutrality, it allowed the Japanese spy agency led by Ze Rong to operate unchecked.

He Xian, a small-time banker, relocates with his family to Macau and unexpectedly becomes entangled in the turbulent world of political and criminal intrigue. During this time, he meets the patriotic youth Qiao Yinwan. With the encouragement and support of his wife Guo Qiwen, He Xian joins forces with CCP agent Ke Lin, patriotic entrepreneur Ma Wanqi, and other devoted individuals. United by a deep sense of patriotism and duty, they rally support from Chinese organizations in Macau such as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Kiang Wu Hospital, and Tung Sin Tong, engaging in intense battles of wits and strategy against enemy forces in financial and trade warfare.

In times of crisis, they come to realize that only the Communist Party of China can save the country and bring new hope to the Chinese nation. Together, Macau's patriotic Chinese community and the Communist Party fight courageously against Japanese aggression on multiple fronts—financial, intelligence, and logistics—achieving repeated victories. Macau's anti-Japanese resistance not only helped its people survive one of the most difficult chapters in the city's history but also contributed significant funds and materials to support China's war effort and the global fight against fascism.
