In this era of highly commercialized sports and highly sought-after popular sports, orienteering, as a sport that combines physical strength, intelligence and wilderness survival ability, is on the edge of a relatively niche area. Only a few universities in China have professional orienteering teams. The scale of professional events is limited and there are few sponsors. Public awareness of it is extremely low, and many people even confuse it with ordinary outdoor hiking.
However, in recent years, with the country's emphasis on the development of diversified sports and the gradual rise of outdoor culture, orienteering has begun to see a glimmer of development. Some companies have seen the potential market value of the project and have begun to try to fund small events; some middle schools have also incorporated orienteering into extracurricular sports activities in an attempt to cultivate young people's interest in this sport. Against this background, the orienteering teams of various universities have become a key force in promoting the development of this sport. They not only compete for honors in various events, but also work hard to popularize orienteering knowledge to the public and attract more people to pay attention to this sport. The story revolves around the University of Nanhua orienteering team, telling the story of the team members who faced many difficulties such as shortage of funds, brain drain, and external doubts in pursuit of their dreams, but still persisted in their love and continued to break through themselves.
