"Mountains and Rivers" is a plateau border defense military novel in the new era. It tells the passionate growth story of Lin Xiaoman, a young e-sports genius who transformed into a snowy border guard.
Twenty-year-old Lin Xiaoman is a top e-sports player in the national server, sitting on glory and applause, living in a glamorous virtual arena. Before his death, his grandfather, a retired border guard, entrusted him to go to the Pamir Plateau to guard the boundary monument No. 8312. In order to fulfill his last wish, Lin Xiaoman resolutely bid farewell to his e-sports career and went to an extremely cold outpost more than 5,000 meters above sea level.
The thin oxygen, biting cold wind, and lonely desert tempered the pampered young man. He met the old squad leader Wang Jianguo, who had been on the plateau for thirty years and whose left hand was disabled while saving his comrades, and witnessed the sincerity of two generations of border guards who sacrificed their lives to protect the country. While patrolling the border, marking red boundary markers, and staying with his comrades day after day, he lost his impetuosity and understood the meaning of perseverance.
In a severe snowstorm, the old squad leader died heroically to save him. Lin Xiaoman gave up the opportunity to return to the city, took the initiative to stay in the team and took over as squad leader, inheriting the mission of guarding the border. He grew from a young boy who chased the wind to a "mobile boundary monument" rooted in the plateau. He used his youth to fulfill his responsibility for his family and country, and continued to write the legend of loyalty of boundary monument No. 8312.
