The spy drama "The Forerunner" focuses on the ever-changing Shanghai of the 1930s, where the underground party organization was seriously damaged due to the betrayal of traitors, and the revolutionary cause fell into a white terror, and a pair of brothers of life and death of different faiths, ma Tianmu (Zhang Luyi), an underground party member, and Tang Xianping (Nie Yuan), director of the Shanghai Investigation Department, each launched a hard-core contest for the battalion.

It reproduces the undercurrent of espionage and warfare in the background of the struggle between the enemy and ourselves.
The opening treatment of "The Forerunner" is ingenious and impressive: a large number of characters appear as "backs", and they are retrograde in the smoke of the flames and smoke, rushing to danger. This also alludes to the creators' hope to pay tribute to these underground party members who sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths, did not seek fame and fortune, went backwards, and pursued faith in the war, which is the meaning of the title of "The Forerunner".
