During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a young woman, in pursuit of material comforts, fell into the enemy spy organization and engaged in a series of espionage activities. Finally, when she came to her senses under the inspiration of the unyielding spirit of the Communist Party members in the face of adversity, she was killed by the enemy. The film is adapted from MAO Dun's novel of the same name. In the late 1940s, the film director and screenwriter had planned to bring MAO Dun's work, which was created in the early 1940s and had a wide influence at that time, to the big screen. However, due to the political environment not allowing it, the plan failed to materialize. After the liberation of Shanghai, Wenhua Film Company listed it as a key production and put it into production. The handling of the female protagonist Zhao Huiming in the film was carefully considered by the creators. Zhao Huiming is a spy and also a traitor. She is a person with complex thoughts and personalities and intense inner conflicts. The film was released in the winter of 1950 and was well-received by the audience. Not long after, an article in the newspaper criticized the film for being "too sympathetic" towards Zhao Huiming, arguing that it was inconsistent with the policy of suppressing the counter-revolutionary movement that was being carried out at that time. The film will not be screened immediately.[Collapse]
