Description:
In 1923, under the guidance of Li Da-Zhao, Li Zi-Zhou joined the Communist Party of China. After graduating from Peking University, he accepted Li Da-Zhao's assignment and, under the guise of principal of Suide Fourth Normal School, carried out party-building work in northern Shaanxi. Under the tight surveillance of warlord Jing Yue-Xiu, Li Zi-Zhou assembled a "teacher squad" of graduates from Peking University and Beijing Normal University—Zhong Qiu-Yue, Ma Yun-Ming, Wang Mao-Ting, and others—who spread revolutionary ideas, founded night schools to awaken the masses, and secretly sent outstanding students such as Liu Zhi-Dan and Xie Zi-Chang to the Whampoa Military Academy to study military affairs, accumulating strength for armed revolution.

In the autumn of 1924, the first party and youth league organization in northern Shaanxi was established at Suide Fourth Normal School. Li Zi-Zhou led the "Porters' Self-Defense Association" to strike at local bullies, achieving the first victory in mass struggle. He sent students deep into Jing Yue-Xiu's troops, established party organizations in the companies of Xie Zi-Chang and Li Xiang-Jiu, and gained the support of brigade commander Shi Qian, laying the foundation for armed uprising.
After the April 12 coup in 1927, Li Da-Zhao sacrificed his life. In grief and anger, Li Zi-Zhou organized a demonstration against Chiang Kai-Shek while urgently going underground. Upon learning that Shi Qian had been assassinated and revolutionary troops faced encirclement, he resolutely planned an armed uprising. In October 1927, the Qingjian Uprising broke out, firing the first shot of armed revolution in the northwest; in 1928 he led the Weihua Uprising, which, though ultimately failed, accumulated valuable experience for the creation of the Shaanxi-Gansu revolutionary base.
Junior fellow student Ma Yun-Ming confessed his love to Zhong Qiu-Yue but was rejected, and hatred grew in his heart; he ultimately chose the Kuomintang camp. In 1929, Li Zi-Zhou and over a hundred party members were arrested. When the rescue operation failed and Ma Yun-Ming's subordinates made a mistake that led to Zhong Qiu-Yue's sacrifice, Ma Yun-Ming completely tore off his mask and forced Li Zi-Zhou to sign a statement renouncing the party. Li Zi-Zhou chose death to prove his loyalty.
On the day of his execution, thousands of citizens spontaneously carried his coffin, and the sound of suona echoed across the Loess Plateau. This tragic scene proclaimed: the revolutionary spark sown by Li Zi-Zhou had already set northern Shaanxi ablaze. The film ends with a farewell melody, but the seeds of revolution have long been sown—Liu Zhi-Dan and other revolutionary soldiers stand on the highlands of northern Shaanxi with tears streaming down their faces, recalling their mentor's earnest teachings, and with the rising sun, the final victory of the revolution will surely come.
