This is a story that makes people cry and be awe-inspiring.
On a rainy night in Laoshan in 1984, squad leader Li Dashan risked his life to save recruit Gu Changhe. He left a message before his death: Go and see what peace looks like for me.
These last words became a shackles for Gu Cheng for the rest of his life. The trauma left by the war is always with us. When the whistle blows, we can't help but lie down. The long nights are filled with nightmares of gunfire. After being demobilized and returning home, he silently supported the families of martyrs for decades; he also went to Yunnan to pick up Jiang Haiyang, the orphan of his comrade-in-arms.
The wave of reform swept through the small town, and countless people went to sea to seek profit, but he bucked the trend and opened the "Dust Settlement" bookstore. The young man went astray, and he stayed with him on rainy nights to redeem himself with his father's love; as time went by, the bookstore was renamed, and his longing never stopped.
Fast forward forty years, the former young man has become an old man in his sixties. When he sets foot on the land of Malipo again, can he fulfill the life-and-death agreement he made in the trenches?
