The Cao family was a military family. Old Man Cao was a prominent figure whom Yuanchun frequently saw on television. Upon learning that he was indeed Cao Shaowu’s grandfather, she felt a brief moment of nervousness.
The Cao family was remarkably small—so small that it made Yuanchun’s heart ache. It consisted only of Old Man Cao and his grandson, Cao Shaowu. Cao Shaowu’s parents, two older brothers, and two uncles had all died in the line of duty.
As a child, Cao Shaowu’s dream had been to join the military, just like his grandfather, father, and uncles, to become a great hero and a soldier who served the country and its people. However, after his parents, uncles, and brothers had all sacrificed their lives one by one, Old Man Cao refused to let the only remaining seedling of the Cao family join the military. Unable to bear the thought of defying his grandfather, Cao Shaowu chose to work at the Public Security Bureau instead.
