Lin Qi collaborated with Jiang Ge and their music continued to improve. Jiang Ge, influenced by recent events, also found a sense of direction in life. With the passion he still held, Jiang Ge wanted to pursue what he truly desired, which was to become a firefighter.

When Lin Lu Xiao arrived in Lushan, Zhao Guo picked him up on a tricycle and showed him around the village, introducing the local situation. After a tour, Lin Lu Xiao finally arrived at Lushan Fire Station and realized that it was located together with Lushan Elementary School and the conditions were not so good.
Zhao Guo explained the situation at Lushan Fire Station to Lin Lu Xiao. Lin Lu Xiao noticed that Zhao Guo was capable of doing everything, handling various tasks, including cleaning and cooking. The firefighters at Lushan Fire Station didn't stay in the dormitory during mountain patrols. After moving in, Lin Lu Xiao opened Li Xue Jun's diary and started learning about forest firefighting.
Meanwhile, Nan Chu arrived in Los Angeles, USA, and began her new life. Nan Yue Ru left her previous diary for Nan Chu to read. Nan Yue Ru's diary was filled with the love story between her and firefighter Li Xue Jun. As Nan Chu opened the first page, she saw Nan Yue Ru's joyful mood because it was the happy day when Nan Yue Ru and Li Xue Jun got married despite opposition.
Lin Lu Xiao woke up and found all the firefighters gathered around him, which startled him. Wang Ben and the others were busy introducing themselves to Lin Lu Xiao before going to freshen up and prepare for breakfast at the cafeteria. Zhao Guo and the firefighters were busy in the kitchen, and Lin Lu Xiao wanted to help, but no one wanted him to interfere, so he could only sit and wait for the food.
Lin Lu Xiao asked about mountain patrols and expressed his desire to join them on the next trip. However, Zhao Guo and the others came up with excuses, claiming that he wasn't needed for the patrols and asked him to stay at the station. Lin Lu Xiao insisted that he came here to learn and was not afraid of hard work. So Zhao Guo mentioned the upcoming training session in the afternoon and asked him to join if he wasn't afraid of getting tired.
As Zhao Guo chatted with Lin Lu Xiao about the patrols and was about to sing a song to boost everyone's spirits, Lin Lu Xiao suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, feeling very uncomfortable. Zhao Guo and the others helped him with his gear, but Lin Lu Xiao wanted to push through. However, in the end, he couldn't hold on and returned to the station, where he developed a fever.
After taking medicine, Lin Lu Xiao slept through the entire day in a daze and only woke up when it was dark. He wanted to get some hot water but overheard everyone discussing him. Wang Ben and the others believed that Lin Lu Xiao was crazy for leaving a good city and coming to their remote mountain valley. They thought he was weak and suggested that Zhao Guo shouldn't assign any work to Lin Lu Xiao.
Feeling unhappy about everyone's evaluation of him, Lin Lu Xiao ran back to the dormitory and continued reading the diary. After Li Xue Jun and Nan Yue Ru got married, they were separated, and they relied on writing diaries every day to express their longing for each other. Lin Lu Xiao saw the names of Li Xue Jun and Nan Yue Ru and suddenly realized that Li Xue Jun might be related to Nan Chu. He wanted to send a message to Nan Chu, but he hesitated and put down his phone.
The next morning, Zhao Guo gathered the team to head into the mountains to inspect a potentially flammable area. When the team was about to leave, Lin Lu Xiao insisted on joining them and got on the vehicle with everyone else.
It's a highly captivating drama that caught the attention of someone like me who hadn't been following any dramas for years. The scenes are incredibly realistic, and it provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by firefighters and fire safety knowledge.
The concluding mini theater segment is also praiseworthy as it helps us gain fire safety knowledge and teaches us how to handle such situations calmly in real life. In short, I highly recommend everyone to watch it.
I haven't read the original novel, but I know that they made a lot of changes to the plot and character development. From my initial impression, it seems like an amazing firefighting drama.
From the main cast to the supporting roles, and even the actors with fewer lines, you can tell that they meticulously crafted the storyline. I've watched some behind-the-scenes footage, and it feels very authentic.
They truly put in the effort to portray various aspects of firefighting. The fire scenes are incredibly realistic. Although I initially liked Huang Jing Yu and was drawn to the drama because of him, the storyline itself is super captivating.
So far, I haven't found any flaws, and I've already finished watching episodes three and four. I will definitely recommend this fantastic drama to my friends. I want to add that the acting of the lead actor is stunning.
His gaze is steady, and his delivery of lines is solid! Absolutely fantastic.
