Xin Baihua (played by Yuan Muzhi) and Liang Zhifu (played by Gu Menghe) were good friends in their school days. After the September 18th Incident, they fled their hometown in Northeast China and came to Shanghai. On the second floor of the apartment rented by the two, a young girl named Afeng (played by Wang Renmei) lives a hard life with her mother, relying on each other for survival. Bai Hua felt very sympathetic towards Ah Feng's situation and often helped the mother and daughter both openly and secretly. Bai Hua met Mrs. Shi (played by Tan Ying), the widow of a wealthy businessman, and they fell in love. Meanwhile, Liang Zhifu was arrested for his participation in revolutionary activities. Bai Hua sent A Feng to school for further study. A Feng joined the singing and dancing class and began to perform some red-themed plays. After watching "The Singing Girl Under the Iron Hooves" in which Ah Feng starred, Bai Hua was deeply touched in his heart. However, he still couldn't let go of his feelings for Mrs. Shi.[Collapse]
