In the beginning, Xu Sanduo was a shy village boy. He used to be bullied by almost every one in his small village. Sanduo's father was disappointed at him for being weak and made Sanduo through cursing and beating.
One day, Shi Jin, a Non-Commissioned Officer from the People's Liberation Army, appeared in Sanduo's village as a recruiting officer. Under the sincere request by Sanduo's father, Shi Jin accepted Sanduo to give him a chance to change. Shi Jin also recruited Cheng Cai, so Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai went to the boot camp together.
In the boot camp, Sanduo's performance was terrible and he was immature. Sanduo's poor performance made his squad become the worst one in the boot camp. Captain Gao, the commanding officer of the 7th Company of Regiment 702 and the course officer of the boot camp, did not like Sanduo. Also, NCO Wu Liuyi, an elite soldier and the second in command of Sanduo's squad, tried his best to train Sanduo but ended in disappointment. Sanduo and Cheng Cai became friends in the boot camp even though Cheng Cai used to bully Sanduo back in the village they were from.
Sanduo completed his training in the boot camp and was dispatched to the 5th Squad of the 3rd Company of Regiment 702, a squad stationed at a desolate fuel outpost. Although Shi Jin, the recruiter, attempted to take Sanduo to his own squad, but was disapproved by Capt. Gao.
