The story takes place on the eve of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the country, where a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army is selecting soldiers to participate in the military parade. Instructor Sun Fang (played by Sun Chun) employs strict and harsh training methods, putting a lot of pressure on many new recruits. Liu Guoqiang (played by Guan Qiang) has an active personality and is eager to help his fellow townsman Hao Xiaoyuan (played by Kang Hua). He is very curious about why the squad leader Li Weicheng (played by Wang Xueqi) wants to participate in the parade, not understanding its significance to the veteran. Squad leader Jiang Junbiao (played by Lu Lei) has bow legs and frequently faces criticism during training; the outspoken Liu Guoqiang advises him to use a backpack strap to correct his legs. Unexpectedly, Jiang Junbiao takes this joking suggestion seriously.
During a group meeting, Lü Chun (played by Wu Ruofu) speaks candidly, voicing the soldiers' inner thoughts. Each person is deeply searching for the meaning of the parade. After training in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, Liu Guoqiang, who has a high fever, insists on enduring until the end and is sent to the hospital. Li Weicheng goes to visit him but hesitates to speak. It turns out he is seriously ill and cannot attend the parade. Hao Xiaoyuan's mother passes away, and Sun Fang decides to let him return home for the funeral, but unexpectedly, he comes back. One touching event after another transforms the parade from mere drill training into a spiritual support for them...
