This film is based on true events. On December 13, 1937, the invading Japanese army captured Nanjing and carried out a brutal massacre. To protect the lives of refugees and Chinese soldiers, the monks of Qixia Temple, led by Master Jiran, spontaneously organized to establish a Buddhist refugee shelter, providing assistance and resettling over 24,000 refugees. In the struggle against the Japanese army, many monks were tragically killed by their guns. Master Jiran and others fearlessly assisted injured refugees while also working to protect anti-Japanese soldiers, helping them cross the river safely, and risking their lives to smuggle out film evidence of the Nanjing Massacre. During the struggle against the Japanese army, unarmed Chinese monks faced death without fear, using the Buddhist teachings of universal salvation and compassion as their weapon, engaging in direct confrontation, writing open letters to expose Japanese atrocities, and waging a battle between humanity and barbarity against the cruel Japanese army. Ultimately, justice triumphed over evil, preserving the thousand-year-old temple and ensuring the safety of over 24,000 refugees. The film promotes the spirit of great humanitarianism and patriotism, highlighting the noble patriotic sentiment of Buddhist monks and showcasing a little-known story.
