Description:
The filming of "Saber" was timed to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the army. The series tells the legendary story of how, in 1943, a killer transformed into a cavalry regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army.
The content of the story profoundly and realistically embodies the Party's policy of "uniting all forces that can be united." It was precisely under the guidance of this correct policy that the Party led the people to overthrow the three great mountains and establish New China. Show more
In the series, the protagonist uses a large broadsword with national symbolism — it is the Chinese people's "saber," the "blade of justice." The protagonist Lin Ji-Feng, played by the famous actor Ren Cheng-Wei, is an ethnic minority. In addition to the "saber" with which he kills enemies on the battlefield, he has his own small hunting knife for self-defense. When he was a killer and when he personally faced danger, he used his small hunting knife to kill an enemy with a single strike — he was a lone-wolf figure.
But after being moved by the woman he loved and after receiving the education and influence of the Party and the Eighth Route Army, he ultimately transformed into a qualified cavalry regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army. At this point, he held in his hand the saber of justice. He was no longer alone, but stood at the very front of the whole troop. He no longer fought for himself — he fought for the survival of the entire nation. He transformed from a killer into a legendary revolutionary hero. The title "Saber" is rich in meaning and embodies the Party's fighting spirit of "uniting all forces that can be united."
Synopsis:
In 1943, in the area east of the road, the Japanese, the Kuomintang, and the Party's army faced off against one another. Everyone firmly believed that they would be the victor in this war.
The killer Lin Ji-Feng, together with his brothers Xiao Pu and Lao Liu, kills the Japanese commander Terauchi and Xiao Ze, and the Japanese commander Yamaguchi, who takes over the post, begins a bloody counterattack. The calm is broken, and Lin Ji-Feng becomes the center of the storm. Lin Ji-Feng, seeking a chance to finish off Yamada, attracts the attention of Kuomintang officer Zhang Xian-Chu and Eighth Route Army soldier Zhang Wei. Both the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army had brief cooperation with Lin while fighting the Japanese, with brilliant results. Both wanted to bring this sharp saber, Lin, under their command, but Lin Ji-Feng, who enjoyed living on the edge of a blade and had made his own way, was unwilling to stay. That was until the Eighth Route Army military doctor Yi Ji-Da appeared before him.
Yi Ji-Da turned out to be Lin Ji-Feng's wife, to whom he had been betrothed before birth and from whom he had been separated for many years. Back then, while fleeing Japanese capture, the two had lost each other by a twist of fate, and this separation left deep wounds in both their hearts. Yi Ji-Da distrusted Lin Ji-Feng, while Lin Ji-Feng felt deep guilt — guilt so strong that it became the reason he embarked on the path of a killer. When Yi Ji-Da appeared again, Lin Ji-Feng decided never again to leave his loved ones.
Yi Ji-Da's lover, the commander of the Eighth Route Army cavalry unit Zhang Wei, accepts Lin Ji-Feng and is filled with affection for this man of his own age. He believes that Lin Ji-Feng will ultimately become a true Eighth Route Army soldier. At the moment when Lin Ji-Feng, for personal revenge, goes to assassinate Yamada and the puppet army leader Li Jin-Tang, Zhang Wei provides him with support. He secures an opportunity for Lin Ji-Feng in the hope that Lin Ji-Feng will join the cavalry unit. And Lin Ji-Feng also feels Zhang Wei's warmth. Although he sometimes acts impulsively because of his emotional rivalry with Zhang Wei, more often he still uses his skills as a killer to help the Eighth Route Army. He helps Zhang Wei uncover the spy hidden in the Eighth Route Army's station, and at the critical moment when the cavalry unit is lured into a Japanese trap, he steps forward; he helps the cavalry steal military horses; when conflict arises between the Kuomintang and the Communists, he resolutely strikes down the Kuomintang officer who wants to surrender to the Japanese. Lin Ji-Feng has already become a true member of the Eighth Route Army.
In the end, Yi Ji-Da chooses Lin Ji-Feng, while Zhang Wei falls under Japanese artillery fire. Lin Ji-Feng finally lets go of personal feelings and throws himself into the entire anti-Japanese struggle east of the road. He cleverly stabilizes the Kuomintang troops and supports the officers' regime that favors joint resistance against Japan. He continually strikes at the forces of the Japanese and the puppet army, and finally, when the great counteroffensive arrives, he drives his old rival Yamada to a dead end. Yamada uses opium to turn Lao Liu into his own traitor. But the overall situation is already settled, and Japan finally surrenders. Yamada wants to fight Lin Ji-Feng to the death. Lin Ji-Feng's broadsword cuts through Yamada's Japanese military sword. After all, a blade is only a weapon; what determines the fate of the blade is the hand that holds it. Justice will ultimately defeat evil. Lao Liu dies, and the gravely wounded Lin Ji-Feng falls into Yi Ji-Da's arms.
