Five years ago, I, Xiao Bei, was drafted into the army and went to the northern border to protect my family and country. Before leaving, I held my daughter Nian Nian, who was just one month old, and pressed a kiss on her pink face. I promised my tearful wife Lin Xue: "When I come back, I will let you live a good life."
Who would have thought that this farewell would turn out to be a sea of change.
