In the play, although the two brothers Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu can use their twin identities to complete the task together openly and secretly, they must also calculate the precise "time difference" at the same time. Ke is impeccable in front of everyone, and uses complex interpersonal relationships to check and balance each other in the game.

At the same time, a well-matched villain camp is depicted. Pan Yue is deep-minded and murderous, while Hu Bin is cruel and bloodthirsty.

A glimpse into the panorama of the times in the details of the story
Through the stacking of details and the presentation of the story, the play presents the panoramic view of the times belonging to Harbin in 1944. The drama is set in Harbin on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese forces were on the verge of death and the sun was setting on the horizon, but they began an unprecedented crazy counterattack. The line "If you live until the end of the year, you will be considered happy or sad" may seem like idle writing, but it intuitively presents the difficult, cruel and struggling survival situation for ordinary people at that time.
In this context, there are still countless Communists who, for the sake of their beliefs and ideals, are trudging without hesitation on the road that is still unclear and still firmly convinced of victory. In the play, Lao Duan who was tortured but never let go, Doctor Shi who left his wife and children ready to sacrifice at any time, Xiao Wei who swallowed an envelope in order to protect intelligence but had his throat brutally cut... all deeply shocked the audience, and some viewers "We don't even know their full names, but their stories are engraved in our hearts forever," he said. Many viewers lamented: "No one knows your name, but your achievements will last forever."
The play also strives for excellence in many aspects such as art, scenery, and modeling. In the play, there are both the hierarchical police department and the fireworks in the streets of Harbin. The three-dimensional scene description presents the audience with the characteristics of the retro style of the era. The black-and-white frame shots of the memory clips not only distinguish the time when the story took place, but also give the series a cinematic quality.
In the play, whether it is an old newspaper reproduced 1:1 based on the collected information, or the rice-shaped tape on the window that truly reproduces historical details, the profound meaning of lines such as "Eating rice is divided into three, six or nine", and Plot details such as Song Zhuowu eating rice balls to prove his identity while disguising himself as a Japanese officer, allow the audience to see through the gaps in history and get a glimpse of the reality and cruelty of that special era.
