"The End of the World" is a TV series set during the "April 22" counter-revolutionary coup in 1927, which profoundly depicts the story of the communists and the people in the Qiongya area who persisted in the revolutionary struggle, defended the Soviet power, and waged a desperate struggle against the Kuomintang army and local reactionary forces under extremely difficult circumstances.
In the play, Lian Sai's character Feng Baiju is an alternate member of the Qiongya Prefectural Committee, and he has developed from an ordinary director of a peasant association to a staunch revolutionary and an outstanding leading cadre. Feng Baiju fearlessly sacrificed, led the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to defeat the enemy many times, established an independent division and a women's army special service company, and made great contributions to the Qiongya Revolution. Xing Xiaoyu, played by He Jing, Feng Baiju's wife, has grown from a gentle and virtuous peasant lady to a brave and strong female warrior. She and Feng Baiju supported each other, struggled together in the revolutionary struggle, experienced life and death together, and finally died on the revolutionary road.
One of the climaxes of the play is the battle of Coconut Village, an important battle for the armed resistance of the Qiongya people against the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the first armed uprising of the Chinese Communist Party on Hainan Island. In this fierce battle, Yang Shanji (played by Ji Shuai) and others died heroically when they were ordered to be in danger. Feng Baiju led the remaining troops to move to Muruishan, and joined up with Wang Wenming (Li Mingqi) and others to establish the Qiongya Special Committee, which continued to lead the revolutionary struggle. This battle not only demonstrated the heroism and sacrifice of the communists, but also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent revolution.
Overview of the climax of the plot:
Another important climax in "Beacon Qiongya" is the battle of Muruishan, which is the last battle of the Qiongya Revolution and the most tragic battle among them. In this decisive battle, Feng Baiju, Xing Xiaoyu, Wu Kezhi (played by Ji Shuai), Lin Maosong (played by Li Jianhui) and other main characters, in order to cover the retreat of Wang Wenming and others, engaged in a fierce confrontation with the enemy. Despite their heroic sacrifices in battle, their actions showed unparalleled courage and sacrifice, and Muruisan was stained red with their blood as a result. Although the battle ended in defeat, it had a profound impact on both sides and provided valuable experience and inspiration for the subsequent liberation war on Hainan Island.
