Guardians of Life and Death

Five years ago, a major poaching case claimed the life of a brave forest police officer, while another was rescued with severe injuries. Five years later, Wang Shoulin jolted awake from a nightmare. He met the daughter of his old comrade, along with a young, unruly rookie cop. Just as the two arrived at the station to report for duty, an officer received a call about a photographer who had gone missing deep in the Talin Mountains. Wang Shoulin immediately took the two new recruits into the mountains and tracked the photographer using tracking techniques. To their surprise, they found traces of members of the Flowered Deer Poaching Gang, who had vanished five years ago.

In this deadly showdown with the poachers, the three of them came close to death several times, but none ever considered giving up. The setting sun, wild geese flying into the wind, and the warmth of the morning light all touched their hearts, until every member of the Flowered Deer Poaching Gang was brought to justice. This extraordinary anti-poaching journey through the mountains also taught the two young officers, through Wang Shoulin, the responsibility forest police must shoulder and the meaning of protecting the mountains and forests.
