Plot

The story takes place from 1945 to 1981, after the Japanese surrender from World War II and the Chinese Civil War. The story focuses on three women, from their days as schoolgirls to their marriages as wives of Republic of China Air Force pilots. They follow their husbands from Nanking to Taiwan in 1949 after the retreat of the Government of the Republic of China (ROC) and Kuomintang (KMT). The story emphasizes the daily lives of the families who stayed at the military dependents' village, experiencing the pain of leaving their home and separations from friends/family. Their shared experience brings the military families together in support of one another. Through their love and bond, they survive hardships. The resulting story is motivational and touching.[2]
