Growth

The story begins in 1986 with a military family. 18-year-old Peng Fei is a senior high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination. His father, Peng Xiangjiang, is the chief of staff of the airborne troops. He devoted himself to the army and worked abroad for a long time. In order to support her husband's work, Peng Fei's mother Tian Haiyun, who graduated from a prestigious school, gave up her career and focused on taking care of her family, becoming a full-time housewife. Peng Fei, who grew up in such a military family, has a strong personality. He is confident and strong and has a very harmonious relationship with his loving mother. However, his father's irrefutable commanding tone, strict and harsh military discipline, and Peng Fei's stubborn rebelliousness have caused constant conflicts between father and son, making them incompatible. In order to get rid of his father's shadow and prove himself to his father, Peng Fei, who had excellent academic performance, gave up Tsinghua University and Peking University, and resolutely participated in the recruitment of the Air Force. He left his family and entered the military academy. From then on, he embarked on a rough and arduous growth path from a boy to a soldier, and from a soldier to a pilot. In the preparatory school, Peng Fei met like-minded companions and instructors who were so strict that they were almost cold-blooded. However, the road to becoming a pilot is far from as exciting and legendary as imagined. What greeted Peng Fei and this group of passionate young people was an almost destructive physical training, almost torture.
