Lü Shi joined the army as a girl and is now a senior colonel, a single rank short of general. Her story really starts when she is posted to a signals station to head its political work, and stands out there like a mountain chrysanthemum in full bloom on the grassland, brilliant and solitary, with a company of young servicewomen at her back. Born into an army family, she is determined to leave the service with dignity. Around her stand comrades such as Chen Kun, Wang Enjiang and Jiang Shan, her father Lü Zhentang and her six siblings, from Lü Jun to Lü Ban, and the novel turns to the home lives and loves hidden inside the closed world of the military.
