Zhao Xiuying has organised her villagers again and again to support the Eighth Route Army during the war against Japan. Through a misunderstanding in the chaos, she and the civilian support team she leads end up on the battlefields of the civil war in the northeast. Far from home and missing her small child, she puts her gift for organising to work for the 37th Regiment, forming foraging teams that pull it through months of hunger, carrying the wounded from the front line and keeping its communications open under bombing. A white horse galloping across the battlefield runs through the story.
