"Shi Guangrong's War Youth" is a TV series set in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, directed by Zhang Hanjie and starring Shao Bing, Yang Ruoxi, Lin Hao, Wang Xinjun and others. This drama tells the story of the protagonist Shi Guangrong (played by Shao Bing) from a company commander of the Eighth Route Army to a heroic division commander, and at the same time depicts the complex emotional entanglement between him and his adopted daughter-in-law Bellflower (played by Yang Ruoxi) and nurse Wang Bailing (played by Lin Hao). As a prequel to Shi Guangrong's tetralogy, the play profoundly shows the fate of the little people during the war years.
The plot is divided into four stages: the first is the acquaintance and love between Shi Guangrong and the bellflower, and the story of their joint fight against the traitor Liu Laopao (played by Wang Bing); secondly, the encounter and love between Shi Guangrong and Wang Bailing, and their experience in the cooperation and confrontation with the Kuomintang Master Shen (played by Wang Xinjun); the third stage depicts the reunion and separation of Shi Guangrong and the bellflower, as well as their decisive battle with Liu Laopao and Master Shen; and finally the plot of Shi Guangrong and Wang Bailing's life and death, as well as their joys and sorrows with Chu Qin (played by Tang Enoch).
The two climactic plots of the play are the reunion of Shi Guangrong and the Kikyo and the sacrifice of Shi Guangrong and Wang Bailing. These two plots represent the love, hatred, hatred and heroic sacrifice of the characters in the war respectively, and profoundly reflect the glory and tragedy of human nature in the war environment. The reunion between Shi Guangrong and Kikyo is full of drama, and the two find each other in the chaos of war, but have to face a new life and death choice. The sacrifice of Shi Guangrong and Wang Bailing is the ultimate test of their love and faith, showing their firm determination and selfless dedication to the cause of resistance against Japan.
Through the story of Shi Guangrong, Kikyo and Wang Bailing, "Shi Guangrong's War Youth" shows the emotional twists and turns and heroic struggle of people in extreme environments during the Anti-Japanese War.
The reunion between Shi Guangrong and Kikyo is an important turning point in the emotional line of the drama. In episode twenty-six, Shi Guangrong is captured by the Japanese and imprisoned in Liu Laopao's prison. Kikyo, as Liu Laopao's wife, took a huge risk to secretly deliver food to Shi Guangrong. The reunion between the two is full of drama and emotional tension, and Kikyo reveals that he has never forgotten Shi Guangrong, and his marriage to Liu Lao Pao is only to save Shi Guangrong's parents. This episode profoundly illustrates the personal sacrifices and emotional complexities of the war setting.
And in the thirty-first episode, the sacrifice of Shi Guangrong and Wang Bailing is another climax of the plot. In a fierce battle, Wang Bailing was seriously injured in order to save Shi Guangrong, and her sacrifice profoundly reflected the love and sacrifice in the war. On her deathbed, she told Shi Guangrong that she was very happy to be able to fight side by side with him to build a new China, and told him to live and pursue happiness. This plot not only shows the cruelty of war, but also shows the brilliance of humanity in it.
On the whole, "Shi Glorious War Youth" is an emotional epic of the Anti-Japanese War.
