Act II | A Spark That Sets the Field ablaze After the baptism of the Long March and the battles, the 20-year-old Liu Baoshun became a qualified soldier, but the Red Flag Squad comrades who died in the Long March were always in his heart, which also made him confused for a Duration. However, the Japanese bombers did not let go of Yan'an. In the passionate and magnificent rhythm of "Yellow River Cantata" and the flying gunfire, Liu Baoshun resolutely raised the flag and shouted for national independence and liberation. In the smoke and rubble, Liu Baoshun seemed to see those dead comrades again. They encouraged him to go on bravely and firmly, because he had grown into a real soldier... Act 3 | A long long march When climbing the snowy mountain, the dying "Red Flag Squad" leader (and flag bearer) Jiang Yuangui left the flag to his young comrade Liu Baoshun in the team, saying that young people are the hope of this country.

Later, the 17-year-old Baoshun took the blessings of his dead comrades, held up the flag of the Red Flag Squad and walked out of the grassland alone.
