University in Exile

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Jiangnan Qianjiang University moved westward. Due to the lack of transportation means, all the teachers and students of the school, led by the principal Jiang Weicheng (played by Zhi Yitong), carried them shoulder to shoulder and finally settled in a small town. Here, they actively carried out anti-Japanese and national salvation activities in various forms. The dean of students, Fu Mengqi (played by Qi Mingyuan), obstructed the students' patriotic actions in every possible way. With the support and cooperation of progressive teachers and students, Principal Jiang launched a tit-for-tat struggle with the reactionary forces. Forced by the development of the war situation, Qian Da continued to move westward. The road to the west was full of devastation. Jiang's wife Tian Wan (played by Xiang Mei) died of illness on the way, and his son Songsong and student Lu Hua (played by Fu Chong) were also killed by enemy planes. Faced with the tragic situation, many people gave up hope of moving westward, and some proposed disbanding. Principal Jiang endured the pain of losing his wife and son, and through patient persuasion and education, everyone established the confidence to "swear to live and die with money"...
