Set in the Kinmen island, often regarded as Taiwan’s most dangerous military base because it’s geographically close to China, Paradise in Service follows the adventure of a young man who serves in the military from 1969 to 1972, in preparation for a war that could erupt anytime. Through an unlucky lottery draw result, twenty-something Pao from Southern Taiwan has to serve the military in the remote and perilous Kinmen. Moreover, he is assigned to the Sea Dragon (ARB), a unit noted for the toughest physical training. It never occurs to Pao, however, that the greatest challenge in his military service lies not in the Sea Dragon but in Unit 831, a special task he is later appointed to. In this peculiar assignment, Pao vows to keep his virginity against all odds.  Close
