[Machine Translation] Ken Matsudaira's first starring role! The long-awaited first soft version of the best-selling novel of the same title by Junpei Gomikawa, which became an unprecedented best-seller, has finally been made into a TV drama 50 years before it was broadcast! Set in wartime Manchuria, this immortal masterpiece tells on a grand scale about the love between husband and wife, human dignity, and true human love through the life of the main character Kaji, who is suffering under the inhuman conditions brought about by the war! --The film depicts the epic life of Kaji (Matsudaira Ken), who was forced to throw himself into the vortex of war in Manchuria (now northern China) from the end of World War II to the immediate aftermath of the war because he was too faithful to his own way of life. After graduating from university, Kaji seeks a job at a steel company in Manchuria, where the call-up rate is low, and he is married to Michiiko (Yoko Horikoshi), who works at the same company. Kaji, who had doubts about the war itself, chooses a job at Laohuling, a mine deep in the mountains, in exchange for exemption from the draft, and is assigned there with his wife, Michiiko. As the mine's labor manager, Kaji is given the task of managing the Chinese prisoners of war. He tries to improve their work environment and motivate them to work, but he gradually comes into conflict with the other Japanese... 55 episodes in all. Commentary (with a special interview with Matsudaira Ken, the star of the film) enclosed. First broadcast: April 19 - July 2, 1976 (Showa 51) on Fuji Television Network
