Comrade, Please Wait!

Lin Hao, a senior private who accidentally fell to his death while fleeing the military police in his previous life, returns to the day he was assigned to his company. Given another chance, he does something astonishing: he voluntarily joins the very military police unit that once terrified him. From then on, the barracks gain a hard-nosed cop, over 185 centimeters tall, who knows how to deal with anyone who refuses to follow orders.

From earning glory for capturing the Blue Army’s deputy regimental commander, to becoming the whole regiment’s “wedding-dress platoon leader,” to leading his squad through a desperate fight for survival during an exercise; from his tangled relationship with Su Xiaoli, the “little princess of the medical unit,” to their eventual marriage and deep devotion; from the bewildered recruit whose squad leader, a “soldier king,” helped him become an officer, to their support for each other as teacher and friend, and finally the heart-wrenching growth that came with facing goodbye... Lin Hao’s military career unfolds amid sweat, tears, and laughter.

He advances step by step, steadily rising from platoon leader to company commander to battalion commander.

Lin Hao experiences the ache of being separated from his wife, the joy of becoming a father for the first time, and ever-heavier responsibilities. When Ma An completes his service and retires, Lin Hao weeps, but turns his sorrow at their parting into the strength to keep moving forward.

At fifty, he is given command in a crisis and rises to general through his military achievements. As a lieutenant general, he leads a military parade with imposing presence. Ultimately, he becomes the commander of a theater of operations.

At sixty-five, he retires after a distinguished career. Looking back, he sees the long road from a soldier who feared the military police to a general, a road marked by a soldier’s loyalty, sense of duty, and unwavering love for his calling.
