In 1998, military region newspaper reporter Shen Zhixing was assigned to the Mohe border station by a transfer order. He was the first famous college student to come out of rural Jiangxi.

He only planned to stay for three years - to earn enough qualifications, transfer back to the south, and return to his grandma.
Resident Chief of Staff Lu Zheng, a native of Beijing, is the youngest Chief of Staff in the entire military region. He is cold, taciturn and extremely capable.

"Beidu" tells a story about trust, perseverance and choice. Between lies and truth, between utility and conscience, between leaving and staying - everyone is crossing their own river. And two people who were least likely to meet saw each other's reflections deep in the glacier.

There is an undercurrent under the frozen soil, and there is spring under the ice - two people swimming alone in their respective destinies finally saw each other's reflections in the glacier.
