In Shanghai in the 1930s, Feng Yilun, who grew up in an orphanage, got a job as a journalist by chance. Because his boss arranged him to be in the film and television pages, he formed an indissoluble bond with the then actress Xu Laiyi., in the process of developing his career, he was influenced by Li Ruoyi, who was nominally the inspector of the patrol house, but was actually a progressive young man with positive thoughts. From a simple entertainment reporter, he became one who exposed the darkness and ugliness of the society at that time, and strived to return the favor to the public.The reporter who was telling the truth also discovered the mystery of his life experience. When he learned that his father had been persecuted and died because of challenging the reactionary government for the benefit of the workers, he resolutely made the same choice as his father.Secretly cooperating with Li Ruoyi, he completed the operation to destroy the Japanese invaders' plan, and thus gained Xu Laiyi's favor.The two finally chose to go to Yan'an with the progressive young people in Shanghai, and devoted themselves to the liberation battle with perseverance, leaving behind a legendary life story that will be talked about by future generations.
