In the early 1950s, Xinjiang was peacefully liberated. New China's policymakers ordered 200,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang to reclaim wasteland and farmland, and took root in Xinjiang, determined to change the situation in which land reclamation lasted only one generation since ancient times, so as to achieve the strategic goal of long-term peace and stability. Under the call of the Party Central Committee to build Xinjiang, a vigorous wave of joining the army swept across Hunan, Hunan and four rivers. For a time, passionate Hunan girls flocked to the ancient capital Changsha to sign up to join the army.

In the early 1950s, in order to complete the great cause of reunifying the motherland, the People's Liberation Army, led by the 18th Army, marched into Tibet from Sichuan, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Yunnan. Crossing thousands of mountains and giant ravines on the roof of the world, we overcame unimaginable difficulties such as plateau hypoxia, glacial torrents, severe wind and snow cold, cliffs and deep valleys, disease and hunger, carried out the Battle of Qamdo, walked more than 6,000 miles, conquered the roof of the world, completed the historical task of peacefully liberating Tibet, and carried out counter-insurgency and democratic reforms, bringing Tibetan society into a new historical stage.

A collective memoir of Hunan women who entered Xinjiang. A strange book that reveals the distribution of marriages in the army in the early 1950s! A book that focuses on human nature and human rights! At the end of 1949, after Xinjiang was peacefully liberated, the policy makers of the Republic ordered the 200,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang to forge swords into plowshares, reclaim wasteland and farmland, and take root in Xinjiang, so as to change the situation in which the cultivation of land had been carried out for one generation since the Han Dynasty, and to achieve the strategic goal of long-term peace and stability. But "you can't settle down without a wife, and you can't put down roots without a son." If the marriage problems of officers and soldiers are not resolved, it will affect the smooth realization of this strategic goal. Therefore, policymakers decided to recruit female soldiers to solve this problem. They first recruited 8,000 Hunan women. Most of these female soldiers are educated young people, including top university students, daughters of Kuomintang generals, and daughters of wealthy businessmen. With youthful dreams in mind, everyone marched for several months to reach the distant frontier. From then on, they began to interpret stories of joys and sorrows one after another in this vast Gobi desert, as well as their ideals and pursuits, glory and dreams. They gave birth to future generations and also gave birth to the spirit of love, tolerance, righteousness and perseverance. They are known as the "first generation mothers in the wasteland of Xinjiang".

Although Ling Wudou is the monitor of the breeding class, he is the only one in the whole class. The day after he was promoted from a soldier to a squad leader, he took a Type 56 submachine gun, 20 rounds of ammunition, a single soldier tent, a sleeping bag, a small aluminum pot and a bunch of cans, compressed dry food and rice flour. He rode the bay horse and drove 25 military horses of various colors to an unnamed valley more than 40 kilometers away from the company to find places with water and grass. He wanted to fatten these army horses before heavy snow covered the entire plateau so that they could survive the long winter. Ling Wudou left the company and felt that he suddenly became vulnerable. Altitude sickness hit him quickly and he almost lost his support. He felt like he had a fever, like he had a cold.

Er Shao, no, we all know Comrade Zhang Mao's situation, so we verified it in detail, and finally sent an official letter to the army.

Our county attaches great importance to it and asked us to personally deliver the good news of meritorious service, the government's condolences and the five hundred yuan reward to your home!"

On the evening of August 31, Ling Wudou, the correspondent of the Tiantang Bay Border Defense Company, finally made up his mind to tell the company commander that he no longer wanted to be the correspondent and wanted to do something else. The small camp is very quiet. The military dog ​​barked twice in boredom from time to time, in a loose voice. The neighing of a war horse in heat is heartbreaking. Military doctor Cheng Dequan's erhu made people cry. He learned to play the erhu when he was a child, and someone brought one up when he opened the mountain. The first time he played "Er Quan Ying Yue", the soldiers' eyes became wet, and the instructor criticized him for "the sound of Fei Fei, which disturbed the morale of the soldiers." He only played some revolutionary music, the kind that sounds like a train moving forward bravely. But no matter what the song is, as long as it is played with the erhu, it will always have a crying sound. If the song played last time sounded like a woman whimpering and crying sadly, the other music sounded like a man crying passionately.
