The scorching sun

In October 1949, accompanied by the salute of the founding of New China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army marched into Xinjiang. After stabilizing the social situation in Xinjiang, the troops stationed in Xinjiang responded to the central government's call and continued to suppress reactionary and separatist forces with combat weapons in one hand. They picked up production weapons in the other hand and began reclamation production. In order to stabilize the minds of PLA officers and soldiers and prepare them to take root in the border areas and guard the borders for a long time, the Xinjiang Military Region decided to recruit a large number of female soldiers from the interior to Xinjiang to solve the marriage problems of the officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang. Chun Ling and Qiu Fang are female students studying in middle school in the Mainland. They are classmates and sisters. Because she was involved in a commercial marriage, Qiu Fang was forced to interrupt her studies to marry a rogue in the town. At this time, the Xinjiang army was recruiting female soldiers in the town. With Chun Ling's encouragement and help, Qiu Fang escaped to the recruitment station and boarded a special train for female soldiers at the last moment. Chun Ling also forgot to get off the train in her hurry, so she joined the army in a muddle and came to Xinjiang with Qiu Fang. However, after they arrived in the army, Chun Ling and Qiu Fang took two completely different destiny trajectories.
