Synopsis

In 1927, just as the Northern Expeditionary War was making significant gains, the Kuomintang reactionaries launched a frenzied campaign to purge the Communists in order to seize power and betray from the revolution.

In a matter of months, nearly 310,000 progressive compatriots were brutally murdered, and the nation was shocked that China, which had just seen hope, was about to fall back into the abyss of warlord chaos and dictatorship.

Without an armed force of its own, the Communist Party of China, founded less than seven years ago, suffered a near-destructive blow under the frenzied attacks of the Kuomintang reactionaries.

The painful lessons taught Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and other progressists in the Party the hard truth that "power comes from the barrel of a gun".

At a time of life and death, they were ordered to go to Hunan and Nanchang, risking their lives, and joined forces with a group of patriotic generals such as Zhu De, He Long, Ye Ting, and Liu Bocheng to launch an uprising, vowing to form an army that truly belonged to the people.

The army's spirit was forged in iron blood, and they sacrificed themselves to protect their country.
