The novel narrates the clash between Kuomintang and Communist operatives over physicist Tong Jiang Nan in Hong Kong in 1948. Following the release of the "May Day Slogan," a group of patriotic democrats led by Professor Tong Jiang Nan in Hong Kong actively heeded the Communist Party's call to return to the liberated areas. The Kuomintang reactionaries sought to hinder this effort and dispatched Zhang Mu and others to exert control over Professor Tong and his associates. Su Xing, a former student of Professor Tong Jiang Nan, was tasked by the organization to accompany the democrats back to the liberated areas in Hong Kong. This led to intense confrontations with the Kuomintang reactionaries, culminating in a life-or-death struggle.
