Soldiers stay in Hainan Island and fight Japanese invaders in harsh conditions.
A 50's Chinese film that reflects the post-war society, expresses idealism and pleads to return to the homeland.
This simple romance story does not mean much to westerners, and in fact, does not even mean anything to Chinese today, but it was a big thing when it was made, not long after the end of Cultural Revolution in which even the personal romance was restricted. This movie is one of the pioneers of personal liberalization in advocating people seeking out their love following their own hearts, not from other people.
Zhou's husband died in the Cultural Revolution. She lived arduously with her only son. Lo, a kind postman, helped her during her hardest time.
