The TV series "Nightingale" is a suspenseful spy war drama directed by Song Yeming and starring Liu Dekai, Ding Liuyuan, Zheng Weili, etc. The play tells the story of Tang Ye, young and handsome, strong in martial arts, both Chinese kung fu and trained by Japanese samurai, but he has a vague political concept, only focuses on righteousness in the rivers and lakes, whoever is a friend, he will help whom, and whoever is kind to him will repay him. In the process of recovering Northeast China, he not only saved the Kuomintang intelligence officer Wu Tong, but also saved the CCP intelligence soldier Yao Yucheng under the knife of the Japanese, because these two were his friends before.
Japan surrendered and the Northeast recovered, Tang Ye just wanted to stay away from politics, base himself on the world with loyalty to his friends, and live a leisurely life. But life has its own inherent laws, and if you don't bother with politics, politics may find you. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought for the fate and future of China in the Northeast, and Wu Tong served as the head of the Kuomintang's intelligence agency in the northeast, and at the same time, he also knew that Tang Ye was his long-lost son. Tang Ye's friend Yao Yucheng and Tang Ye's younger uncle Wei Xuguang became senior scouts of the Intelligence Department of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, which was opposed to Wu Tong. Tang Ye didn't know these backgrounds, he only did his filial piety to his honest adoptive parents.
The climactic plot of the play is divided into two parts:
The first part is that Tang Ye was caught by the Japanese in an operation and tortured, but he was always indomitable and did not betray his friends. After Wu Tong learned about it, he risked his life and personally led people to rescue Tang Ye, and also took him back to his mansion, personally treated his wounds, and told him that he was his biological father. Tang Ye was shocked, he couldn't believe his background, and he didn't understand why Wu Tong wanted to work for the Kuomintang. Wu Tong explained his philosophy and ambitions to Tang Ye, hoping that Tang Ye could understand him and even join his camp. Tang Ye rejected Wu Tong's kindness, saying that he didn't want to participate in the political struggle, but just wanted to live with his friends. Wu Tong had no choice but to let Tang Ye leave, but he was still worried about him in his heart.
The second part is that Tang Ye discovered the true identities of Yao Yucheng and Wei Xuguang by chance, they are underground members of the CCP who have been secretly confronting Wu Tong, planning assassination and sabotage. Tang Ye felt very conflicted, he didn't want to betray his friends, and he didn't want to hurt his father. He tried to persuade Yao Yucheng and Wei Xuguang to give up violence and resolve the issue peacefully, but they believed that Tang Ye was on the side of the enemy and lost trust in him. Tang Ye couldn't convince them, and he didn't want to betray them, so he could only choose to remain silent. He didn't know what to choose, so he could only cry alone at night.
