This is one story that happened during WW2. The U.S started a project called: Doolittle Raid. Jack and Bob are good friends who work on the same aircraft to attack Tokyo. Although the bombing mission was successfully completed, they had to make an emergency landing on the coast of China because of fuel exhaustion.

The next day, a local woman named Su found Jack and Bob in the coma, and with the help of other friends, they moved Jack and Bob to the cave to escape the search Japanese army.

Under the care of the locals, the two gradually woke up and recovered to health. At first, the locals were still hostile to Jack and Bob, thinking that they might be Japanese spies, but through a Wang interpreter who understood English, they finally learned that Jack and others were also allied forces and counterattacked Japan.

But the peace did not last long. The Japanese army got the news a week later and came to this beautiful seaside village to search for Americans. In order to cover Jack and Bob back to the US, a Chinese army and local villagers fought fiercely with the Japanese army. Jack, Bob, Su, and Wang managed to escape from the town undercover. Unfortunately, Wang was killed by the Japanese in an attack on the escape route. After a lot of hardships, Jack and his team finally arrived at the US Embassy in Chongqing. In the same year, Jack and Bob returned to their homeland.

Time flies, Jack and his friend Bob once again come to China, to the village where has once lived. Even though they didn't know the full names of Su and Wang who helped them during the war, when they saw the familiar sea, the past things slowly came to their mind.
