The Glory of Youth — Season 1, Episode 23: Xia Zhuo and His Parents Across the Mountain

Episode synopsis

Xia Zhuo's parents asked Ouyang Jun how to reach the military camp, wanting to see their son. Ouyang Jun informs them that the Rocket Force camp is highly classified, adding that even the photo Xia Zhuo gave them could land him in serious trouble for revealing the camp's location. Upon hearing this, Xia Zhuo's parents immediately hand the photo over to Ouyang Jun. Ouyang Jun helps repair their car and draws them a map for the return journey. Xia Zhuo and others undergo hypoxic training in the standby hangar. Lü Zheng summoned Xia Zhuo to his office, placed the photo he'd sent his parents before him, and demanded he reflect on his mistake.
