One day, Japanese soldiers built a artillery tower at the mountain pass, which worries Shanwa's family, their peaceful life was soon disrupted. The Japanese soldiers spotted Shanwa hunting and shot him. The bullet pierced one of his ears and almost killed him. This made the innocent Shanwa feel indignant and thus his need to vent out his anger. Ignoring his wife's dissuasion, he came to the opposite side of the blockhouse at dawn, shouted curses and fired shots in protest. This angered the Japanese soldiers in the artillery tower. They chased him into the mountains several times and finally found his home. The Japanese soldiers brutally killed his wife and child, but he managed to escape with his life. From then on, Shanwa with the help of his father launched a desperate battle against the Japanese soldiers.
