Xu Zhongliang embarked on the revolutionary road because his father, who was also a postman, was assassinated by the Japanese, and in the process of serving as a postman to deliver information, he lost his colleagues one after another - Wednesday, an underground party member who was also a postman, lost his sympathy and helped the revolutionary priest Brown, and lost his first wife, Xiufen, a member of the exterminatory team. However, Zhongliang did not flinch, and worked together with Su Lina, who was ambushed by the enemy at that time and passed on information for our party, and successfully completed the transmission of various important information again and again. During the Battle of The Liberation of Shanghai, Zhongliang was seriously wounded by an enemy ambush as a guide, and Zhongliang tempered himself into a staunch revolutionary in this environment.
Xie Nai'en, played by the old drama bone Li Youbin in the play, is a heavyweight of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, who is scheming and has super ability. He has been directly ordered by his superiors to arrest those lurking underground parties, and at the same time he is also a righteous patriot, who has been waiting for an opportunity to fight against the Japanese, and is dissatisfied with the Kuomintang's killing of the Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War, but in his heart he is paranoid and firmly believes in the party-state he believes in, accidentally gets acquainted with Xu Zhongliang, and sees that he is a natural agent material, so he tries his best to win over, hoping that Xu Zhongliang can succeed him to serve the Kuomintang.
The male number one Xu Zhongliang is played by Zhang Su, who is a college student who graduated from a church school, with a thoughtful mind, wisdom and alertness, a skill that never forgets, and a sixth sense that is extremely accurate. On the surface, he is a weak scholar, but in his heart he has a patriotic pillow, but he has the problem of fainting blood. Xu Zhongliang's father, Xu Delin, code-named "Catfish", was a well-known underground intelligence officer of our party who died in order to obtain important information on the Battle of Songhu.

Different from the previous spy war tv series, the whole drama of "Postman" is constantly suspenseful, and it is described in one sentence: what you think is what you think is what you think.
