Braveheart 2

In 1937, Tong Jiaru (played by Yang Zhigang) from Jehol left his hometown to teach Chinese at Nie Zhongcheng Middle School in Shanghai. His adopted daughter Nannan became disabled, and he was forced to stay after he wanted to flee south again. Seeing the invaders maiming his compatriots, he swallowed his anger and just wanted to save his life. Student Ouyang (played by Zhang Jiayi) is serving the country and is in urgent need of assistants. Tong Jiaru bites the bullet and helps. Ouyang died, and Tong Jiaru was exposed to be targeted by the Japanese spy Dongcun. He skillfully completed the task and got rid of the suspicion. Ouyang's boss Yang Xiao was arrested and Tong Jiaru rescued him. His wife Gardenia just gave birth to her son Hope, but she was killed for protecting Yang Xiao. In the past six months, the four murderers involved in the killing of Gardenia were all killed by Tong Jiaru without revealing their lies. Dongcun suffered from the lack of evidence and tried to use cruel torture tools to force Tong to confess. The Communists organized teachers and students to march and rescued Tong Jiaru. Three years later, Tong Jiaru used himself as bait to help comrades from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party unite to eliminate the Japanese spy base. The Japanese surrendered, and Dongcun was unwilling to fail and kidnapped Hope, forcing Tong Jiaru to fight with him. The comrades subdued Dongcun and rescued Hope. Dongcun scolded Tong as a coward, and Tong Jiaru told him: "Chinese people have a brave heart when dealing with invaders.
