Face to Sea 追梦 Episode 1

On a sunny day, Nanbin ushered in an international marathon, and a young boy was helping an old man with gray hair to carry it. The little boy raised his head and asked if his grandfather really wanted to participate in this marathon. The old man firmly told him that he must run, because he has been with the city of Nanbin for so many years, running with this country...

The Nanbin Special Economic Zone has just been established. Qin Qin, the director of the General Office of the Nanbin Municipal Party Committee, and Wei Dongxiao, the coordinator of the Hydropower Engineering Corps, received the job of coordinating and arranging the engineering troops to station in Nanbin. At night, a boring tanker carrying 2,655 people drove from the north into the seaside city of Nanbin. The leader of Wang Guangming Detachment rectified the team. He pointed out that when they came to Nanbin this time, their task was to establish a special zone and build Nanbin, and they must establish a foothold in this city.

The army’s camp is in a low-lying place, and water will always accumulate in the rainy season in the south. But Captain Wang couldn’t take care of this. He ordered the troops to build 16 floors within 100 days, but the terrain of Datong Bay was too narrow and equipment could not be accessed. The local road construction plan had not been decided. They had to first It's too much work to build the channel by yourself. The leader of the Wang Detachment ordered the second and third companies to make the passage together with the subsidiary company. At this time, the soldiers came to report that the subsidiary company commander had a fever and was sent to the hospital. The instructor had also been demobilized and returned home.

Wei Dongxiao was about to leave the company, so he went back to the dormitory to see his wife and children. Passing by Shuihe Village, he stopped by to visit the village party secretary. His hairpin Cai Weiji, Nanbin is now in the stage of full construction, and Aji told him that he was about to lead the villagers to form a Nanbin construction team to build a high-end hotel in a joint venture with Hong Kong people. Xiao was very happy for the village. Aki asked about the whereabouts of his youngest son, Hua Zai, Dong Xiao only said that he was taken to Hong Kong by Chen Dayao. His wife Afang was worried that her husband would leave with the troops. Dong Xiao promised that if the troops left, she would change jobs and stay with her and her eldest son Xia Zi. Together, the couple imagined the bright future of Nanbin after it was built.

A year ago, Dong Xiao visited his family home to attend the wedding of his younger brother Dong Xu and his younger sister-in-law Aqin. At that time, Aki, who served as secretary of the brigade and captain of the militia, also hired a projectionist to show a movie to celebrate the wedding. Chen Dayao was the accountant of the brigade at the time. This man was very good at calculations. On the same day, he had planned in advance to get Dong Xiao drunk first, and then kidnapped Dong Xiao's youngest son, Hua Zai, to force A Fang to sneak into Hong Kong with him. When Dong Xiao wakes up, he finds that there is no one around, and only his elder son Xia Zi is watching the movie. Wei Dongxu and A Qin are also killed in the sea on this wedding night. Wei Dongxiao's wife was scattered overnight, and his family was destroyed.

Dongxiao and his wife brought shrimps to pay homage to their younger brother. They suddenly heard the sound of the company's blasting mountains and opening roads. This was the first shot in Nanbin's construction and became a precious memory of Wei Dongxiao's life. During the days of blasting the mountains and clearing the rocks, the soldiers lived on the construction site. Even if they suffered from heatstroke, they turned to do some light work. The leader of the Wang Detachment felt sorry for Dong Xiao, these desperate soldiers. Return to the camp to rest. A group of young boys always have the recklessness of young people. At that time, they bathed in the river and caught water snakes for food. After unremitting efforts, the task was completed as scheduled. Later, Dong Xiao realized that these difficulties back then were just a drop in the bucket.

A Fang works as a female worker in a power plant in Hong Kong. The new Hong Kong foreman is always dissatisfied with her aggressive posture. Dongxiao finished the task and went home to visit his wife. He was very distressed when he saw his wife bumping on the ground. Fang mentioned that the Hong Kong foremen were very domineering, but Dong Xiao recognized their economic acumen and management style. A Fang heard from his former acquaintances that he seems to be in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, and is still in elementary school. When A Fang came back to find Dong Xiao, he told him that he would pick him up soon, but that was two years.

Chen Dayao's life in Hong Kong was not easy, but fortunately, he still took good care of the waste. That night a year ago, Chen Dayao, Wei Dongxu, and Aqin had originally discussed that they would smuggle to Hong Kong together on this day, but met the maritime police midway through, and A Fang could not swim with Chen Dayao to Hong Kong because of his expense. Chen Dayao feels guilty for bringing A Fang and Hua Zai to Hong Kong, and has been working hard and promising to let them live a good life. But A Fang has a stubborn personality. She warns Chen Dayao that she is a family member, and she will definitely bring her to reunite with Dong Xiao. Although Chen Dayao was angry, he also said that he would not take advantage of others.
