On the eve of the liberation of Tianjin, Guo Zhenqing participated in the factory protection team with a spear on his back, and often patrolled at night to prevent spies from sabotage.

The film is based on the drama of the same name created by the Tianjin Porters Collective, which tells the story of the porters of Gate 6 Station who have a tenacious struggle against the head of the cargo station under the leadership of the underground party organization.
Guo Zhenqing played the male protagonist "Hu Er" in the drama "Gate No. 6", which caused great repercussions when it was performed in Beijing and Tianjin.
The location of the movie "Gate No. 6" is in Tianjin, and director Lu Ban uses Guo Zhenqing to play the male protagonist "Hu Er" in the film.

Guo Zhenqing was born as a worker, lived at the bottom since he was a child, and was familiar with the life of dock porters, and portrayed "Hu Er" vividly.
In "Gate No. 6", Guo Zhenqing is shirtless, revealing a strong tendon meat, showing the image of a porter who is bodybuilder. The theme song of the film "Porter Song" was also sung by Guo Zhenqing.
The 1,500 extras in "Gate Six" are all real dock porters, which makes the film even more believable.
The filming of "Gate No. 6" was nine deaths, the original director was Wu Zuguang, because he was not familiar with the dock workers, and the actors selected were not effective, when the film was 80% filmed, the Film Bureau decided to stop filming.
(Guo Zhenqing and Li Xiaogong)
So director Lu Ban was arranged to replace Wu Zuguang, and the actors were basically changed, only Guo Zhenqing and the heroine Li Xiaogong were not changed.
Li Xiaogong played the wife of "Hu Er" in "Gate No. 6", and the two were in love in the film and shared the wind and rain. They extended the feelings in the film to their lives, and the two became a couple in reality.

In January 1955, "Guerrillas of the Plains" was released nationwide, triggering the whole people to watch the movie. Guo Zhenqing became a smash hit because of his role as "Li Xiangyang", and "Li Xiangyang" became synonymous with him.
It was an era of advocating heroes, and many girls looked for boyfriends to use Guo Zhenqing as a benchmark.
In "Guerrillas of the Plains", Li Xiangyang and the Japanese devil Matsui are incompatible. Because Matsui played by Fang Hua is too realistic, Guo Zhenqing, who was humiliated by Japan when he was a child, regarded Fang Hua as a real devil, grabbed him and beat him during filming, and Fang Hua was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
