This is a military-themed masterpiece full of the spirit of the times and youthful vitality. The drama mainly tells the story of a group of outstanding soldiers, including Shi Tao and He Zhiyuan, who face numerous difficulties and obstacles brought by the British garrison in Hong Kong, Hong Kong society, and the objective environment in order to complete the historical task of "peaceful entry." For the entry, the garrison decided to select a group of exceptional junior officers. Young soldiers like Shi Tao, Chang Kaiping, Jin Dawei, and Su Qing, each with their own excellence, come before the tough instructor He Zhiyuan. Facing He Zhiyuan's “attacks,” “difficulties,” and a 90% elimination rate, these youths endure hardships, which reveal their boldness and aspirations. Enthusiastic Shi Tao is misunderstood as having a "special" relationship with Hong Kong female reporter Lin Jiayi while helping He Zhiyuan's wife, Nan Zhen, find a job, which nearly costs him the chance to be part of the advance unit, and also affects He Zhiyuan's position before entering Hong Kong. History brings them to face British colonel Lawrence. In the face of his tough confrontations, He Zhiyuan demonstrates the qualities of a mature soldier and a tenacious military spirit. Due to Lawrence's opposition and difficulties, along with the friendly relationships among soldiers, He Zhiyuan and Shi Tao undergo special trials, which set their relationship apart from the culturally different Hong Kong reporter Lin Jiayi who reports on their arduous work, making it a hot topic in Hong Kong society. Her strong sense of involvement and professional dedication not only brings "trouble" to the advance team but also puts Shi Tao in a dilemma. After several rounds of "contests," Lin Jiayi straightforwardly tells Shi Tao that she has developed feelings for him. Professional discipline, ethical standards, and steadfast heroic beliefs lead Shi Tao to make a choice at first. Lin Jiayi, facing the trials of love, gradually matures. An accidental "fire rescue" allows Lin Jiayi and a group of Hong Kong people to witness the virtues, spirit, and character of these Chinese soldiers. In the drama, the transformation of Hong Kong citizens towards the PLA from observation and skepticism to trust and affection is portrayed as Shi Tao, He Zhiyuan, and the others fulfill their sacred duty as guardians while facing the challenge of communicating and merging national sentiments, testing the comprehensive cultural literacy of the soldiers stationed in Hong Kong. With their own cultural personality and wisdom, the stationed troops not only make Hong Kong citizens feel the "blood is thicker than water" national sentiment but also help them understand the true meaning of their homeland in their real lives. The understanding of the stationed soldiers becomes a direct emotional bridge for Hong Kong citizens to return to the embrace of their motherland. By showcasing the changes and trajectories of Liang Chengye, Lin Jiayi, Qu Shirun, and Song Taiwei, the sense of return is truly established in their hearts.
