People respect soldiers who dedicate their lives to the cause of national defense. However, what many people fail to realize is that there is another group of people who also devote themselves to defending our country.

These people are the army wives, or in Chinese, Jun Sao, which refers to women who marry men serving in the army.

As their husbands serve in the army, many of the army wives live separately from their other halves, having to deal with all the problems they encounter in the home alone.
