楚河汉界

Old General Zhou Han has lived with a secret: under pressure he hid the truth about his commanding officer's suicide, and a comrade was wrongly blamed and executed. His elder son Nanzheng keeps himself in check to protect his career, going so far as to hand over his pregnant girlfriend to Dongjin. Wei Mingkun, who came up from nothing, counts on the slips of others to get ahead. Dongjin, who commands a border regiment, owns up to a blunder of command and turns down an award, and feels the chill around him. Then, just as promotion comes within reach while he nears the retirement age for his rank, a breach of the rules leaves one soldier dead and another hurt, and he must choose between the truth and a story of heroism.
