Borrowing a Gun

The late 1930s was the most difficult period of the Japanese invasion of China. As an old trading port, Tianjin Wei is a dangerous place where all forces gather to compete. Xiong Kuohai (played by Zhang Jiayi), who came from a poor background, appears to be an ordinary employee of a foreign company, but is actually an underground party member of the Special Section of the Tianjin City Committee of the Communist Party of China. Even his wife Zhou Shuzhen (played by Yan Bingyan) has no idea about this secret identity. However, as a revolutionary worker, he was a bit too poor. The owner of a foreign company fled with his money. Xiong suddenly lost his source of livelihood. On the one hand, he sought to make a living and on the other hand, he had to carry out underground activities. At the same time, his superior leader Lao Gu was betrayed by a traitor and brutally murdered by Tianjin Japanese military police commander Kato Keiji. In order to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army, the Chinese Communist Party decided to launch an assassination operation against Kato. For a time, the sky above Tianjin Wei was murderous and cloudy... This film is adapted from the novel "Borrowing a Gun" by the writer Long Yi, and was created by the original cast of "Latent".
