In 1933 a major earthquake struck Diexi, a small town in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Xiazhu hereditary chieftain Andeng Bang (played by You Daqing) took the lead in fighting disasters and self-rescue. However, the officials of the national Songpan government used various pretexts such as "resisting red bandits" to forcibly levy taxes and forcibly draw people's husbands. For the benefit of the local people An Dengbang decides to meet the Red Army and become the first guerrilla minority leader in the history of modern China
