Synopsis

Napoleon once said, “A soldier who does not want to become a general is not a good soldier.” People without ambition are easily left behind. The military is no stranger to exceptional people who rise from the ranks to become generals, but far more soldiers and junior- and mid-level officers quietly take off their uniforms and fade from view. Our protagonist, Ling Feng, is a retired lieutenant colonel with more than twenty years of military service. He once dreamed of becoming a general, and throughout his long military career he struggled tirelessly to realize that dream, laboriously climbing toward the top of the pyramid in his heart. Along the way, countless comrades became stepping stones left behind him. The climb was marked by hardship and sweat, even tears and blood. In the end, lieutenant colonel became the full stop at the end of his military career. Still far from the summit, he had become the very stepping stone he had once looked down on.

Over those same twenty years, the Republic rose to become a great power and achieved the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Our armed forces also underwent several transformations, growing stronger and more confident. As one member of the military during this era of change, he focused too single-mindedly on climbing toward his goal of building a stronger military. To travel light, he cut away the branches that might slow him down and overlooked too much of the beautiful scenery along the way. He gained a little but lost a lot. Only when he looked back upon retirement did he truly understand that the best moments in life were not the triumph of standing atop the summit and looking down on all the mountains below. They were the people and experiences he encountered along the way. During his climb, he had lost too many of them. If he could live his military career all over again, he would…

This is a story about the growth of an ordinary soldier in a parallel-world military camp. Read it as a wish-fulfillment novel, and don't compare its people and events one by one with real life.
