The TV series "China Land" profoundly depicts the story of resistance against Japan in the Qingfengling area of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province after the "918" incident. The protagonist "Zhao Lao Chisel (Lao Ga Tou)", an ordinary man, leads his family and villagers in a bloody battle against the Japanese invaders under extremely difficult conditions. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they held on to Qingfengling for 14 years and never let the Japanese army occupy it, creating an anti-Japanese legend.
This drama brings the audience's memories back to that difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War. The villagers of Qingfengling, armed with earthen guns and artillery, put up a desperate resistance to the Japanese invaders in a harsh environment. They successfully withstood many frontal attacks by the Japanese army, fought countless skirmishes, and swore to the death, making Qingfengling an unyielding Chinese island in the "Manchurian" region. The Japanese Kwantung Army even referred to this land as "Chinese land".
One of the climaxes in the play is that Zhao Laochi (played by Li Youbin) does not hesitate to venture deep into the enemy camp in order to rescue his son Zhao Yongzhi (played by Li Jinzhe), who was captured by the Japanese army, and starts a battle of wisdom and courage with the Japanese officer Matsui (played by Li Jianyi). With his wisdom and courage, Zhao Laochi not only successfully rescued his son, but also seized important information from the Japanese army, making a significant contribution to the War of Resistance against Japan.
"China Land" is not only a war-themed film and television work, but also a work that shows the extraordinary courage and wisdom of ordinary people in times of national crisis, reflecting the heroic resistance and indomitable spirit of the people of that era.
Another climactic plot in the TV series "China Land" is that Zhao Yongqing (played by Wang Yu), the daughter of Zhao Laochi, in order to protect her lover Wang Sikai (played by Liu Jiaoxin), has a fierce confrontation with the Japanese female spy Liu Zi (played by Sarina). Zhao Yongqing and Wang Sikai were a pair of lovers who were enthusiastic about the revolutionary cause, and Wang Sikai, as an exiled intellectual, later joined the Chinese Communist Party and became an important strategist in Qingfengling. Liu Zi, Zhao Laochi's wife, was actually an undercover agent for the Japanese army, and she secretly transmitted information to the Japanese army in an attempt to sabotage the anti-Japanese actions in Qingfengling.
During a crucial operation, Liu Zi discovers Wang Sikai's true identity and attempts to assassinate him. In order to protect Wang Sikai, Zhao Yongqing resolutely died with Liu Zi, sacrificing himself in exchange for Wang Sikai's life.
"China Land" is a TV series that profoundly shows the indomitable anti-Japanese spirit of the Chinese people and their deep feelings for their homeland. The play is set against the backdrop of real historical events, and through vivid character portrayals, tense plot construction and profound theme connotations, it brings the audience a double shock of vision and soul. It not only shows the cruelty and tragedy of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also highlights the glory and greatness of this history. This drama allows us to see the strength and unity of the Chinese people in the face of adversity, as well as the leading role and contribution of the Communist Party of China in the War of Resistance Against Japan. As a historical educational drama and artistic masterpiece, it deserves to be remembered, learned, appreciated and recommended by Xi.
