Bloody Border Town

On the eve of the Revolution of 1911, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, violent social turmoil, the people of Xiangxi were in dire straits. Hou San, a soldier of the Qing Dynasty, was tied to Daotai Mansion to be punished for stealing. Suddenly the horse pulling him was frightened. Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, Qin Fei (played by Zheng Kai), a young caravan man, stopped the frightened horse and rescued Hou San. Qin Fei and Dong Mei (played by Zhong Sihua) are in love. The village leader Cao Xiong covets the land left by Dong Mei's ex-husband and decides to let his silly son (played by Peng Dingwen) forcefully marry Dong Mei. Dong Mei refuses and is thrown into the sinkhole. Qin Fei was forced to flee to a foreign country and joined a revolutionary team organized by Tang Bao (played by Chi Long), Tian Zhaoquan (played by Zong Fengyan) and others. They captured Gancheng and overthrew the local power of the Qing government. Tian Zhaoquan united all forces in Gancheng to drive away Cao Xiong with the support of the new government leaders of Hunan Province. Soon, due to the incompleteness of the Revolution of 1911 and Yuan Shikai's restoration, Xiangxi fell into a warlord melee. Qin Fei had no home, so he was kidnapped by Cao Xiong and became a bandit. He rescued Yaomei, a girl from Xiangxi who looked exactly like Dongmei, from the bandit's lair. The two of them avoided pursuit and escaped.
