What happens

《枫》，张一执导1980年中国电影，根据郑义所著同名短篇小说改编而来。 1966年，文化大革命爆发，学生情侣李红钢和卢丹枫加入造反派组织成为红卫兵。造反组织在次年夺权运动中分裂为“红旗”派和“井冈山派”，李红钢是红旗司令部的作战部长，卢丹枫则是井冈山兵团文攻武卫广播站的广播员。两派互指对方是被走资派利用的反动派，展开了激烈的武斗。 王老师前往井冈山派在西山六中的据点探查情况，被卢丹枫等人捉住。卢丹枫发现他曾是自己的美术老师，便将其释放，并托他带去一封信，劝说李红钢早日回到毛主席革命路线上来。当晚红旗派向六中发起总攻，最后红旗派占领大楼，李红钢劝卢丹枫投降，绝望的卢丹枫举井冈山派的战旗跳楼自杀。两三年后，井冈山派重新掌权，李红钢被污蔑枪逼卢丹枫跳楼，被判现行反革命杀人犯，处以死刑。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
