À la fin de la Révolution Culturelle, un jeune homme de la ville est envoyé à la campagne pour réaliser son tour de travail agricole. Arrivé dans la région montagneuse isolée du Yuan, à sa surprise, on lui demande de devenir instituteur, alors même qu'il lui manque les qualifications nécessaires. Il décide alors de ne pas suivre le programme des livres Mao, qu'il juge peu intéressant car il comprend des exercices tels que recopier les caractères du dictionnaire. Il choisit donc d'apprendre à ses élèves à penser par eux-mêmes le monde qui les entoure. Cependant, l'autorité a vent de ses pratiques enseignantes non conformes et le réprimande sévèrement.

In a small village named Rack-Armor Terrace in Hebei, at the foot of the Great Wall of China, a local peasant called Ma Dasan (played by Jiang Wen) is caught by surprise when a man bursts into his home one night and deposits two men in gunnysacks, instructing him at gunpoint to keep them captive but alive for the next few days and interrogate them. The man, identified only as "Me", leaves before Ma can catch a glimpse of him. One of the gunnysacks contains Kosaburo Hanaya (Kagawa Teruyuki), a belligerent Japanese sergeant; the other Dong Hanchen (Yuan Ding), an obsequious Chinese interpreter working for the Japanese Army. Ma hurriedly enlists the help of his fellow villagers. Fearing both the mysterious "Me" and the Japanese, the village decides to follow the instructions from "Me" and detains the prisoners in Ma's cellar. Hanaya repeatedly attempts to provoke the peasants into killing him, but Dong, fearing for his own life, alters Hanaya's words in translation to make him appear conciliatory.
