The Japs Are Coming

During World War II, Ma Dasan (played by Jiang Wen), a farmer in Guajiatai Village, Hebei, China, lived a peaceful life under Japanese rule. One night, the guerrillas kidnapped Japanese army soldier Hanaya Kosaburo (played by Teruyuki Kagawa) and translator Dong Hanchen, tied them into sacks and placed them in Ma Dasan's house. They ordered Ma to take good care of them and take them back on New Year's Eve a few days later. Ma Dashan and the villagers carefully guarded the two people. Hanaya Kosaburo and Dong Hanchen sent out distress signals several times, but they were all resolved by the villagers. Half a year has passed, and the villagers are worried that the matter will be exposed, but they dare not let go of the flower house. Ma Dasan was finally persuaded by Dong Hanchen and sent Hanaya and Dong to the Japanese military police station in exchange for food. Japanese military police officer Sakazuka Inoyoshi is Hanaya's fellow villager. On the surface he was polite to Ma and others, but behind his back he accused Hanaya of humiliating the imperial army and beat him. The gendarmerie team went to Ma's village to celebrate with the villagers and deliver food, but when they got drunk, they revealed murderous intentions.
