Features: How can a soldier forget the scene of his first time stepping onto the battlefield? And when a military cultural worker comes into close contact with war, will there be a lightning-like collision? That fleeting, blazing light might ignite his unrelenting life, or perhaps lead him to death! In this long-form documentary prose, the author vividly portrays the initial enlightenment of a student growing into a revolutionary soldier through his personal experiences after enlisting—joining the army and crossing the Yangtze River southward, participating in the Hengbao Campaign and the Guangxi Campaign. Here, intertwined with blood and fire, are the romantic warmth of the cultural troupe, and more importantly, the turbulent inner journey of a young man. This book, First Steps on the Frontier,, along with the author's previously published works Iron and Blood Memories and Reminiscing Tibet, forms a harmonious symphony in the "Military Journey and Youth Trilogy."
