Storyline

Medical officer Ji Xian and army doctor Lin Ying receive a telegram and travel to Jiangcheng. On the train, they recall wartime memories. The 'March 8th' female medical team is confined to a valley by sentries ordered by Deputy Director Cheng of the division logistics department, but the women, led by Pan Fanfan, trick the guards and rush through to retrieve a truckload of wounded soldiers. Their determination impresses Deputy Director Cheng, who changes his mind and sees them off to the front. Lin Ying also remembers her past love, platoon leader Xu Jie, whom she had left due to her father's objections. At the front, she encounters Xu Jie again and hears him read a letter from his fiancée to his soldiers, only to later discover after his death that the letter was actually a breakup note, and the words he read were invented to boost morale. Arriving in Jiangcheng, Ji Xian and Lin Ying go to a new home where their comrade Pan Fanfan awaits them; she invites them to her wedding. They guess the groom is Luo Xiaodan, the wounded soldier they once rescued, but Fanfan reveals it is someone else. She recalls the unforgettable 928 depression: near the temporary dressing station, Ji Xian leads lightly wounded soldiers in resistance while surgery is performed. Luo Xiaodan is brought in critically injured, and He Yanan, already gravely wounded, grits her teeth to bandage him. The surgery succeeds, but He Yanan collapses from blood loss and dies. Pan Fanfan, moved by her heroism, feels ashamed of her past behavior.
