This film is set against the backdrop of historical events after the "9.18" incident, showing a thrilling spy war story.
The main plot of the film revolves around a series of events that occurred during the southward migration of cultural relics from the Forbidden City. In May 1933, the train transporting the cultural relics of the Forbidden City was bombed by the Japanese army and looted by bandits on the way, and the last carriage was unhooked, and the cultural relics were secretly transferred to Jinping Mountain in Zhangqiu, Shandong. In order to protect these national treasures, the Nationalist government sent agents Li Yun (played by Li Yanan) and He Xiaohong (played by He Yunxin) to Jinping Mountain, while Japanese spy Hasegawa (played by Lou David) and his men followed closely behind, trying to track down the cultural relics.
The climax of the film takes place in a fierce shootout between Li Yun and He Xiaohong and Hasegawa and his men in an ancient temple on Jinping Mountain. In this life-and-death struggle, Li Yun and He Xiaohong showed great wit and courage and successfully repelled the Japanese attack. However, the battle also came at a heavy cost, as Li Yun was wounded by a bullet while protecting He Xiaohong, who was discovered by the Japanese while treating Li Yun and had to be forced to jump off a cliff. At the end of the film, the two hug each other tightly on the edge of the cliff, and the farewell scene is touching, and they meet again in the next life at the moment of life and death, which profoundly demonstrates the power of love and loyalty.
Through a wonderful storyline and profound themes, "Spy Battle Jinping Mountain" shows the patriotic enthusiasm of the people of that era and their awareness of the protection of cultural heritage.

In this episode, the protagonist Li Yun discovers a letter left by He Xiaohong, which reveals a shocking truth: He Xiaohong did not die, but was rescued by a monk after jumping off a cliff, and she was pregnant with Li Yun's child. This news made Li Yun excited, and he immediately decided to look for He Xiaohong. But he later learned that He Xiaohong had been captured by the Japanese and may have been tortured. Faced with this situation, Li Yun resolutely decided to break into the Japanese stronghold alone, not only to rescue He Xiaohong, but also to ensure the safety of their unborn child. This plot profoundly shows Li Yun's loyalty and sacrifice to love and the country.
