"Home" is the place he wants to return to throughout his life, but it is also the starting point that he has to stay away from again and again.
The young Li Ping'an witnessed his father and brother leaving one after another in the smoke of war that shattered his home country. When the claws of war tore through his home again, this timid young man who only longed to live a stable life with his old mother in a dilapidated hut was forced to pick up his brother's unfinished mission and step into the blood-filled battlefield.
From the life-and-death struggle behind enemy lines in the Anti-Japanese War, to the baptism of artillery fire in the Liberation War, to the brutal fight against the torrent of steel on the Korean ice fields - seventeen years of gunpowder smoke turned fear into tenacity, and tempered recklessness into wisdom. He wandered on the edge of death countless times. What supported him was the strip of cloth with the word "peace" sewn into his pocket by his mother, and the persistent cry of "return alive" from the bottom of his heart.
However, when the war gradually subsides, can this road home paved with blood and tears really lead to the courtyard where the smoke is lingering and the mother leans on the door to look at it? "Returning to the Family" is a war epic that touches people's hearts and directly strikes the soul. It tells the story of an ordinary soul who uses his life to measure the heroism and desolation of the "return home" in the torrent of the times.
