The story begins in the 1960s, in a military compound in a northern city, home to military families from all over the country. As the tides of the era swept past, the children of the compound grew up together. Their families were shaped both by the fervor of serving the nation and by the everyday comforts and troubles of life. From the planned economy to reform and opening up, and then into the Information Age, the families of the compound lived through countless changes, yet always held fast to their bonds as neighbors and their love of life.
