The story took place in March 2012. War broke out in the eastern city of Goma in the war-torn African country of Congo (DRC). Anti-government forces established the "M23 Movement" (a real incident) and attacked Goma on a large scale, triggering turmoil in the entire eastern region. There are many Chinese companies in the eastern cities of Goma and Bukavu, as well as hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. Opened by overseas Chinese compatriots. There is also a "Chinese Peninsula", which is the camp of the engineer branch of the Chinese peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the two chaotic and turbulent cities, Chinese compatriots united as one and helped each other, staged a series of wonderful stories of sharing weal and woe.
The work uses passionate brushstrokes to delicately depict the story of Chinese compatriots persevering and forging ahead in the flames of war, praising the kind and unyielding noble qualities of the Chinese people. In the war-torn years, pure love, friendship, and noble patriotism are still hidden.
