Late autumn of 1970, Southwest Military Region Hospital. A knock on the door at three o'clock in the morning awakened surgical "knife" Mi Tang - an emergency thoracotomy. The injured person turned out to be his fiancé Cui Ye, who "sacrificed" five years ago. He lurked at the border for five years for the top-secret mission "Operation Shadow", and when he returned, the shrapnel was only two centimeters away from his heart; while she guarded his empty grave, his untouched bankbook and a torn anatomy atlas, suffering in the pull of hope and despair for five full years.
On the operating table, her hands were shaking so much that she could not hold the hemostatic forceps; in the cemetery, he knelt in front of the tomb and said, "I will sacrifice myself to you." After being discharged from the hospital, the reconnaissance battalion commander started the most clumsy "wife-chasing crematorium" in history: calling the expert number for "review" every day, delivering meals at noon, standing on a pile under her dormitory late at night, writing love letters with dog crawling characters, and eating her pickles until his mouth swelled. The cold-faced doctor said, "Captain Cui, please respect yourself," but he gave him a strawberry candy when he was being honored, and when he climbed over the wall to save her, he cried and touched his carotid artery to confirm that "he was alive."
When the shadow of enemy agents once again loomed, when the last letter of comrade Lao He was finally sent, when the fists of the Mi family brothers and the assists of the Cui family brothers followed one after another - the lovers torn apart by life, death and time, in the daily fireworks of the military compound, the cracks of five years were stitched together inch by inch. This is a period story about waiting, guilt and redemption: she waited for him, not because he was worthy, but because she was willing; he pursued her, not to seek forgiveness, but to prove that the words "come back alive" are as important as a thousand stones.
Purpose: The righteousness of family and country and the long-term love of children
