Lin Chen, the top science student in the province, was supposed to have a bright future at Tsinghua University and Peking University, but because his parents had long been partial to his younger brother, he was asked to repeat a year to "make way" for his younger brother. Disheartened, Lin Chen resolutely gave up the prestigious school, chose to join the army, and went to the Tibetan border defense. From a recruit to a top scout, from a top student in a military academy to an officer of the General Staff, he proved his worth in the military camp with sweat and perseverance.
