There are no melodramatic conflicts, no unrealistic plots, only the most genuine emotions, the most vivid details, and the most sincere hearts. And the "blue" in the title finally finds its complete answer in the story: it is the unextinguished light in the eyes of young people pursuing their ideals; it is the unwavering commitment in love separated by thousands of miles; it is the perseverance forged in the military camp through sweat and dedication; it is also the unspoken reluctance, the tenderness hidden in the heart, and the ever-facing growth in youth.
