1894, the long-planned Japanese imperialism provoked and created troubles in China's territorial waters. Li Hongzhang, Minister of Beiyang, and his cronies "Jiyuan" Fang Boqian strongly advocated peace. The Japanese invaders pushed their luck and sank China's merchant ships. As a result, the patriotic officers and soldiers represented by Deng Shichang, the leader of the Far Pipeline, and the people of Weihai persisted in resisting Japan, but Li refused Deng's invitation to fight twice. Fired for exposing Fang Boqian. When the Japanese invaders declared war, the people were angry and Li Hongzhang was forced to use Deng Shichang.

In the naval battle, Liu, the right-wing company commander of Beiyang Navy, was afraid of death and deliberately played the wrong banner, which led to the defeat of beiyang fleet and the sinking of the flagship by the Japanese army. Deng didn't hit the flagship, but led the officers and men of Zhiyuan Ship to fight bravely and hit the Japanese flagship. Finally, Deng Shichang decided to sink the enemy ship "Yoshino" because of a bomb failure, but unfortunately it was hit by a torpedo, killing all the officers and men on board.

The film focuses on the two naval battles of Toyoshima and the Yellow Sea in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, vividly showing the patriotic spirit of the people and patriotic officers and soldiers against aggression and surrender and the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government in this historical event.

This is not only the sorrow of a country, but also the eternal pain of a nation.

However, the corruption of a government does not represent the depravity of the whole nation. Deng Shichang, a national hero, is the embodiment of the Chinese nation who is unwilling to be humiliated and brave in fighting. In the face of foreign aggression, Deng Shichang's resolute attitude of actively resisting and sacrificing for the nation showed a fearless spirit of death, which deeply touched me. If I were you, I wouldn't dare to hit the enemy ship bravely and share life and death with it.

A nation should have backbone, and the living should have backbone. We should try our best to organize against foreign aggression and understand that unconditional concessions cannot solve the problem. Just like Li Hongzhang in the film, he ordered the whole army to hide in Ahava Harbor and not patrol the sea to meet the enemy, which led to the collapse of the whole army. Not only did my hard work go up in smoke, but more importantly, so many hot-blooded men were easily buried, which made the Chinese people lose face.

Now our country is strong, from the "sick man of East Asia" looked down upon by foreign countries to today's "sports power", as well as the national unity of earthquake relief and the "seven gods asking for heaven", all of which were bought by our heroes with their own flesh and blood and the diligence and efforts of generations of China people. We should study hard to "revitalize China" and pay homage to those national heroes who died for their country in the war.
