"History of the Military City" takes the construction and maintenance of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway as the historical axis, and through the ups and downs of the three generations of the He family spanning half a century, it shows the development of Golmud, the "Biliary City", from a wilderness station to a new plateau city. The story centers on He Laixiang's family and radiates to road construction workers, road crew families, mining workers, weather station personnel and other groups. In the context of "road construction-road maintenance-road guarding", it interweaves personal joys and sorrows, family ethics and changes of the times, showing the survival resilience, persistence of faith and intergenerational inheritance of plateau children in extreme environments.
