A taut wartime thriller, Red Crag: Life in Eternal Flame anticipates the paranoia and violence of the imminent Cultural Revolution while harking back to the aesthetic splendour of the Golden Age Shanghai cinema of the late 1940s. (This opulence is largely due to the work of cinematographer Zhu Jinming, the master visual stylist of Shangrao Concentration Camp and other key "Seventeen Years" films.) The film concerns a hard-boiled woman working in the Chongqing Communist underground during World War II, whose commitment to the guerrilla cause is only intensified after she witnesses her husband's head mounted on the city walls by the Nationalist forces.

Drama written by Su Shuyangin in 1978. The feature film adaptation was produced by Beijing Film Studio in 1980. Fang Lingxuan, a veteran Chinese medicine doctor, devotes himself to the research of new drugs for coronary heart disease and receives the enthusiastic support of Premier Zhou Enlai. But the Ministry of Health, controlled by the "Gang of Four," uses Fang's son-in-law to obstruct the research. Just as Fang and his colleagues finally succeed in producing a new drug, Premier Zhou dies. Grief turns into strength, and despite persecution, Fang works hard.

A heroic People's Liberation Army nurse continues caring for wounded and getting them safely to hospital even though she has been wounded.
