Synopsis and Plot Summary

A group of people who have gathered for their love of others are members of a non-governmental rescue organization. Luo Ben is a lawyer while Zhang Yann is a doctor. This is a story of finding mutual salvation through repeated encounters with various disasters.

A devastating earthquake has occurred in Xichuan. Lawyer Luo Ben (Luo Yunxi) has gone to the disaster-stricken area to look for his younger sister Luo Yuan (Yang Anqi). It's there that he comes into contact with the rescue unit under the leadership of Captain Qingshan. Luo Ben also encounters Zhan Yan (Janice Wu) with whom he's had bad blood with in the past. However, he soon changes his mind about her as he comes to admire her selflessness and brilliance as a doctor.

Luo Ben bears witness to the people's sense of camaraderie in the face of adversity and becomes deeply inspired by the volunteer efforts. Luo Ben along with Xiong Fei (Xu Shaoying), Zhou Mingming (Li Mingde) and Ding Dingding (Li Tingting) are the new recruits to the team. They survive Captain Qingshan's "training from hell" and put their lives on the line in every rescue and disaster relief operation that pits them against earthquakes, fires, floods and typhoons. At the end of the day, they finally grow into an elite rescue unit.
