In the plot, he himself is a disabled retired soldier, but he still resolutely encourages his son to go to the battlefield.
His wife, after experiencing her husband's disability, must have been very afraid of her child going to the battlefield, but she did not say a word of objection. Instead, she kept making new clothes for the child and sewing soles for his shoes.
Every time I wiped away my tears, I did it secretly behind the father and son's backs.
The father didn't speak a word the entire time, and the mother only had two lines: "You have to take good care of yourself."
"Mom is willing to give it up~"
In the second act, the father has a son and a daughter, and the family of four is very happy. However, the war breaks out and refugees are everywhere. In order to prevent his wife and children from being killed by the enemy or becoming displaced refugees, the husband joins the army.
From beginning to end, there were no lofty speeches or speeches. The soldier was the only one in the family who had two lines: "Daddy will protect you, and I will protect you."
The girl in Chapter 3 had just gotten engaged to the soldier (Zhao Jinghan) when he was drafted. He was very reluctant and didn't want to go, but the war was cruel and urgent, so he had to go.
Although the little girl was reluctant, she had to agree because she didn't want to embarrass him, so she had to put on a smile and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back!"
As soon as the person left, she knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
In Chapter 4, the three soldiers did not interact with each other, but went to the battlefield together.
Except for those who made up the pavilion, all the people who played guest roles in the background became soldiers, advancing one after another, some falling and some rushing forward.
In the end, everyone fell under the pavilion and no one could stand up anymore. The corpses buried the pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, only Zhao Jinghan was standing straight but motionless, holding a spear in his hand.
The fierce war music stopped and the whole audience was silent for five seconds. When everyone thought it was over, they remembered the background music "Han Yi Diao" again.
As this background music played, the corpses did not move.
The family members in the first three chapters began their own stories.
The old father always leaned on a cane and looked out. The mother sewed shoe soles under the lamp every day. From time to time, she would hold the soles in her hands against her chest and face, then rub her eyes before continuing.
The wife struggled to raise the child alone, weaving, farming, and teaching the child to read. When the child was bullied, she could only use her weak body to protect the child.
She was hit, but she didn't have the strength to fight back.
The engaged girl showed off her wedding dress at home every day, with a smile full of anticipation and longing on her face.
The wedding dress was ready, and the smile on her face gradually faded, but the man had not come back yet.
A matchmaker brought other men to snatch her wedding dress and force her to get married. She objected vehemently. Those men pointed at her and walked away.
Later, no one came to see her. The expectation on her face turned into hopeless dullness, but she still held tightly in her hands the wedding dress that she would never have the chance to wear.

"Who is pounding winter clothes when the moonlight is dim?
Looking at the horizon, I miss you and my hometown.
The snow fell all night, but the north wind was strong.
Thousands of miles apart, we are still connected;
Knowing your heart, I send you winter clothes from thousands of miles away.
If you return home with glory and success,
Tonight, the sounds from the border are coming in fast and furious.
The blood-stained yellow sand has returned to its resting place;
What night is it tonight when the moonlight is slanting?
The snowflakes are flying and there is no date for their return.
Tonight the night is long and I have no tears to cry.
The black hair turned to white and the hairpin fell to the ground;"
…
As the music was coming to an end, the person on the stage spoke the last three lines.
Mother (choking up), "Son, is it cold at the border? Did you receive the new clothes I sent you?"
Son (eagerly), "I have a daddy, I have a daddy! My daddy is a great hero who defends our country. I am not a fatherless child!"
The little girl (weak, desperate), "Brother Han, when will you... come back to marry me?"
After the three of them finished their lines and the background music stopped, Zhao Jinghan, who had been standing upright, suddenly fell to the ground...
