In the 1950s, the China Republic Government is newly established, with revolutionists in different parts of China seek chances to revolt. Headquarter 701, whose duty consists of Inspection, Interpretation and Operation, is set up to spy on developing conspiracies through telegraph. But one day in October, the enemy shuts down 126 military channels for 30 hours. After these long hours, when they restore communications, only the daily news is being broadcasted. Without concrete information, operators at the frontline are at risk.

Chang Xue-ning is a spy, sent back to Headquarter 701 as her identity has been compromised in Hong Kong. Reporting to 701, Xue-ning’s new mission is to seek for people who have superb aural comprehension. She targets Luo San-er, the piano tuner of Song Qing Ling but it turns out she finds Luo’s personal assistant, He Bing instead. Bing is uncivilized and blind but his hearing is splendid – he can even hear the wind. Is he strong enough to be the saviour in this silent war?

UrbanWire is giving out 5 pairs of in-season passes to The Silent War and 5 The Silent War Notebooks (worth $9.90 each)! To qualify, simply answer a question!

Question: “Even though He Bing (Tony Leung) is blind, what is his hearing good enough to listen to?”
