The summer he turned eighteen, Lu Chen received an acceptance letter from a top university. But on his way home from the class farewell dinner, three thugs cornered him in an alley. He didn’t run. Eight years earlier, he had found a book on hand-to-hand combat among his father’s belongings, and every blocking move was now etched into his muscle memory. After a hard-won victory, a limping veteran with a mysterious badge hidden in his prosthetic leg told him, “You’ve got a soldier’s heart.” Back home, his mother gave him a letter his father had left before making the ultimate sacrifice. It contained just one line: “When everyone else backs away, can you stand your ground alone?” Lu Chen tore up his acceptance letter, put on his military uniform, and boarded a train heading north. He had no idea what awaited him: a border at minus forty degrees, a comrade who would take a bullet for him, a marriage that came to nothing, a golden-scaled bridge he would build with his own hands, and a class reunion fifteen years later where everyone’s view of him would change. This is a story about legacy: his father answered that question with his life, and now it is his son’s turn.
Please give me some suggestions. Does it feel like a military camp?
When you read this, do you feel like you are immersed in the scene and dreaming of returning to the military camp?
One thing I experienced personally was that one day at a train station in an ordinary afternoon, an active-duty soldier bought a ticket at the station. The ticket salesperson at the station asked the active-duty soldier to buy the ticket first. Then other people nearby muttered, why should he be the first to buy a ticket? He is also a human being. Why can he be given priority to buy tickets? The passengers next to him raised all kinds of doubts? At this time, the active-duty soldier said aggrievedly: It is snowing heavily at the border post in the early morning. What are you doing while I am standing guard? When the country needs you and the people need you, where are you?
The scene instantly became quiet
Are there any brothers who have stayed in the military camp? Do you still remember the soul-chasing death watch and the midnight alarm whistle?
"People who come back alive have no right to be pretentious."
, Becoming a soldier is not for fighting. It's to know if you can stand alone when everyone else retreats. "
