A great number of youths sacrificed their lives to help re-write the history of World War II in Burma, aka Myanmar nowadays. A look at the cemeteries of the ROC Expedition Army in India versus those of the Japanese Burma Area Army renders a stark contrast to the ways how the unsung heroes have been treated. A sensitive chord is struck in the region’s geopolitics involving Japan, Taiwan, and China. History emerges as a new battleground for a multilateral political tug-of-war.

導演透過中印日緬訪談，爬梳駐印遠征軍歷史。影像呈現軍人後代對家-國情感的追思令人動容。相對的，中國和台灣設置的紀念碑就頗具政治性宣傳意涵。無論如何，歷史不應該放棄與遺忘為理念犧牲奉獻的人。影片中，後代為先人傳承理念的歷史值得感念。
