Kim Yingzi, the small daughter of two foreign resistance fighters left behind in China, is taken in by the Sixteenth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army under Qiu Yuhao, whose men have sworn to keep her safe. In the forests and wolf valleys of Gejie, the guerrillas fight the Japanese and share the land uneasily with wolves that are sometimes their enemy and sometimes their shield. A captured Japanese soldier, Matsushita Koji, comes to feel close to Yingzi and the fighters. Yingzi, whose mother was a musician, dreams of becoming one too, but war and hunger leave her hearing music that is not there. Looking back, she tells what she long kept to herself.
