1958年，我军炮击金门，盘距金门的蒋匪军开炮还击，战士王志强（赵汝平 饰）在反击敌运输舰中，全身80%被严重烧伤，生命垂危。英雄的事迹感动了身边每个人，大家自发赶到医院献血，医院领导研究布置抢救方案，通过一段时间的精心护理，王志强终于脱离了生命危险。他醒来的第一句话是“我要到阵地上去”，医护人员被感动的热泪盈眶。由于感染，需要大量植皮，消息传开，要求捐献皮肤的志愿者来了几百人。手治好了，绿脓杆菌又向身体其它方向漫延，如不及时控制，则引发败血症，后果不堪设想。英雄的病痛惊动了北京，总部用飞机送来了急需的药品，也送来了全国人民的关怀......

Lei Feng (December 18, 1940 – August 15, 1962) was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army in the People's Republic of China. After his death, Lei was characterised as a selfless and modest person who was devoted to the Communist Party, Chairman Mao Zedong, and the people of China. In the posthumous "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" campaign, initiated by Mao in 1963, Lei became the symbol of nationwide propaganda; the youth of the country were encouraged to follow his example. After Mao's death, Lei Feng remained a cultural icon symbolizing selflessness, modesty, and dedication; his name entered daily speech and his imagery appeared on t-shirts and memorabilia.
