We Once Looked up at the Same Starry Sky

A saying in a high school history class, "Dignity is only as good as the edge of the sword," intertwined the fates of the five teenagers.​ Lin Xi touched the context of his family and country in his father's study, Chen Wangye cherished the obsession of recording the truth through the lens, Li Ang looked at his father's military medal and swore an oath to defend the border, Zhao Zhenyang planned a blueprint for rejuvenating the country through industry, and Su Wan spread hope on the road to supporting education. They formed a study group in the teacher's office, but waved goodbye at the station and rushed to completely different battlefields of life.​ Some people put on military uniforms to guard boundary monuments, some step into the diplomatic palace to fight, some go deep into the war-torn hinterland to track the truth, some take root in the countryside to light up classrooms, and some break through the waves in shopping malls. The wind at the border took away Li Ang's life, but made the remaining people wake up in pain.​ There is mutual support hidden in the letters of foreign love, the negotiation table echoes the war front line, and the pull of family affection is finally reconciled in understanding. They once thought that life would be like rivers traveling to distant places, but over the years they understood that the battlefields of diplomats, the lenses of reporters, and the boundary markers of soldiers have already closely connected their youth with their home and country.​ This is a growth epic of a generation of young people, with passionate recklessness, parting concerns, painful sacrifices, and an edge tempered by ideals. Their respective running trajectories will eventually merge into the ocean called "home and country".
