After he is enlisted into the North Korean People's Army in July 1950, the narrator takes over the management of the volunteer soldiers from the south. He teaches them about land reforms and North Korean songs. Among the volunteers are those who demand ideological verification, careerists, and the like, and they at times cause division in their group. Sometime later, the narrator is handed over to the ROK Army, even reaching the verge of execution, but he is released.
