Description:

The Glory of Youth follows four university roommates who, for personal reasons, enlist in the rocket force. Their initial enthusiasm quickly turns to regret upon confronting the demanding reality of military life. They are introduced to a strict army hierarchy, where soldiers are defined by years of service: over 10 years for a soldier, over 20 for a veteran, and over 25 for a "treasure." Under the rigorous leadership of experienced old soldiers with unique skillsets, these new recruits undergo intense physical and mental trials. As they grapple with the expectations and often clash with their seasoned superiors, their journey forces them to grow beyond their initial perceptions. This compelling narrative showcases the resilience and immense potential of youth as they strive to become full-fledged soldiers, ultimately embodying the true glory of their generation.
