[Shine On Me]

[Adapted from Gu Man's novel,

Shine On Me]

[Episode 20]

Zhuang,

I think I see that guy who's chasing

your student's cousin.

He looks so slick out there.

Seems like a total pro.

Chasing who?

The one chasing your student's cousin.

Kevin, you just said...?

Look!

See?

I can slide down slowly after all.

I guess I do have some talent.

I'll just ski properly

so I don't get in anyone's way.

Kevin, watch out!

Kevin.

Kevin.

Buddy.

Buddy.

- Are you alright, buddy?

- Don't touch him.

Kevin.

Need a hand?

Mr. Lin,

this is my colleague.

He just got hit.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hello?

My friend had an accident

about halfway

down the black runs.

He's unconscious.

We need emergency backup, immediately!

He's coming to.

One person injured.

Copy that. Thanks.

Ski patrol is on the way.

Kevin,

how are you holding up?

What am I doing here?

I was trying a trick and wiped out.

And I plowed right into you.

We'll see if you're okay.

This is all on me, I promise.

It's all a blur.

Are you following me?

Yeah, I hear you.

Just stay put.

Wait until the paramedics get here.

We need to keep an eye on him.

How's it going?

You doing okay?

I think...

It's just...

I'm feeling woozy a bit.

Why are you talking like that?

I just threw up.

My throat feels kind of funky.

Let's get you

to the infirmary.

It's right

by the ski center.

It's really close.

Let's just have a doctor check you out.

I'd suggest

going straight to the hospital

and getting a CT scan,

just to rule out anything serious.

Isn't that a bit overkill?

I'd listen to him if I were you.

He's a neurosurgeon.

No,

I...

Call an ambulance.

Let's get to the nearest hospital.

There's an ambulance

right here on the slopes.

There's a medical station

about 15 kilometers out.

Are they equipped for a CT scan?

You'd have to head

to the county hospital for that.

Then the county hospital it is.

He has impaired speech,

retrograde amnesia,

and projectile vomiting.

It's likely triggered

a traumatic brain hemorrhage.

Every second counts.

Is it that bad?

Then let's get him to a hospital, now!

I don't want a death on my hands.

Come on.

Buddy,

I just heard you're a neurosurgeon?

I used to be.

I've moved on to other things now.

Still, you're a pro.

Look, I'm really sorry to ask this,

but I'm worried something might happen

on the way

that we can't handle.

Could you come with us

to the hospital?

Sure.

Thanks. In that case,

hop on the back of my bike.

We'll head down together.

And you...

Thanks, Mr. Lin.

I'll make my own way to the hospital.

It's the least I could do.

Don't mention it.

Did that guy take a fall?

The medics are here.

What happened?

- No idea.

- That guy wiped out.

That looks like a nasty hit.

Is he okay?

Easy.

Cover him up.

Come on.

Dr. Liu,

he is

a neurosurgeon

and he's agreed to come with us.

He's the one who flagged

the brain hemorrhage.

Thank goodness.

I usually just handle fractures.

Sorry for the trouble.

Not at all.

Do you have Mannitol on board?

Yes.

Any ice and towels?

You'll need to wrap them

and prop them under his head.

Yeah.

The infirmary has them.

I'll go grab them.

Give me the helmet.

Okay.

Let's get in the van.

Come on.

Nothing serious

is going to happen, right?

We're even more worried than you are.

We're in a rush, no time for paperwork.

Once we're at the hospital,

we'll register the details

to determine liability.

It's all on me.

Wait!

There's

the friend of the guy I hit.

Quick!

Put your things in the van.

Let's get moving!

I've done everything I can.

He should be fine.

Yeah.

You did a great job.

[Xiguang]

Sorry,

the subscriber you are dialing

is powered off.

Please try again later.

[Mom]

Hello?

Hey, Mom.

Any later

and you would've missed me.

Mr. Luo and I

were just about to hit the hot springs.

You two have a good time.

I ran into someone

with a traumatic brain hemorrhage

while skiing.

I'm going to follow them

to the county hospital

to check on him.

I might be back a bit late.

That sounds serious.

Is it life-threatening?

The patient is unconscious.

We'll know more

once the CT scan results

are in.

I understand.

Lives come first.

Go ahead.

Okay.

What happened?

Yusen ran into a patient

with a head injury.

He couldn't just leave it,

so he's taking him to the hospital.

Even though

he can't operate anymore,

he still has the heart of a healer.

Isn't that

what makes it all the more painful?

Sorry,

the subscriber you are dialing

is powered off.

Please try again later.

I came across a skier

with a head injury.

Possible intracranial bleed.

I'm riding along to the hospital.

Buddy,

what's your name?

It's Lin.

I've only been transferred here

for a month.

It's Chinese New Year,

and I'm the only one on call

for the ambulance.

Never thought I'd run into

something this serious.

It's a good thing

we have a pro like you here.

The ski patrol said

you're a neurosurgeon?

I am.

So, where do you practice?

Shanghai.

I was at Songshan before.

No kidding! That's impressive.

This is great news.

Our hospital only just opened

its neurosurgery department

last year.

Having you here

really puts my mind at ease.

I've been away from the hospital

for nearly two years now.

I'm not sure how much help I'll be.

No way.

Why is that?

Neurosurgery

is the crown jewel

of the surgical world.

You're a real big shot.

I'm sorry.

Let me check on his condition.

[Tianchi County People's Hospital]

Easy.

Careful.

Move it this way.

Easy.

What have we got?

Male, roughly 30.

Head trauma sustained

in a skiing accident at 1:30 PM.

He presented

with mild retrograde amnesia

and a lucid interval.

Lethargy appeared an hour ago,

followed by rapid LOC.

With nausea and projectile vomiting.

GCS is 8.

Possible epidural hematoma.

Looks massive.

And you are?

Sorry. Force of habit.

He's a neurosurgeon.

He was a huge help on the way here.

[Emergency Room]

Mr. Lin,

how's my colleague doing?

Mr. Zhuang,

he is receiving emergency care.

We'll know more

once the CT scan results

are in.

This is as far as I can take it.

He's in safe hands now.

I...

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Careful.

Is the CT suite

ready?

Yes, we can start the moment he arrives.

Okay.

Any family members here?

We need to get him registered.

I'm his colleague.

Excuse me,

are you a neurosurgeon

from Songshan Hospital?

That's right.

Are you heading out?

No, just stepping out for some air.

I'm staying

until the patient's CT results are in.

That's great.

Our chief would like a word with you.

Mr. Lei.

Alright.

Hello, Dr. Lin.

My name is Lei Wei.

I'm a straight shooter,

so I'll get to the point.

Dr. Liu from the ski resort said

you were a neurosurgeon

at Songshan Hospital.

Two years ago,

I did a fellowship

at Songshan for over a year.

How come I never ran into you?

When exactly were you there?

May before last.

I'd already resigned

due to a hand injury that April.

A hand injury?

Now that you mention it,

that rings a bell.

Please, Dr. Lin, have a seat.

Mr. Liao used to talk

about a surgeon

in neurosurgery

who was incredibly gifted

and had performed

dozens of solo surgeries

at such a young age.

He was poised to become a giant

in the field,

only to have his hands ruined

in a car accident.

Was that you?

Mr. Liao Pingfeng?

I believe he was talking about me.

What a crying shame.

You mean that Mr. Lin

we met back at Shengyuan?

What made you bring him up

all of a sudden?

He was shipped off

to Suzhou Shuangyuan Photovoltaics.

The one you did that research on.

I'm guessing he got pushed out

at Shengyuan.

Word is, he used to be

a very promising neurosurgeon.

What a waste.

Being a doctor is such a sweet gig.

It's thanks to you

that we got the patient here in time.

Once the CT results

are in,

if he's stable enough,

we plan to transfer him

to the municipal hospital.

They have

more expertise over there.

After all, we're just

a county hospital.

We're near the ski resort,

so our orthopedics department

is actually quite strong.

Our neurosurgery department

is only equipped

for emergencies.

That's the right call.

Whatever's best for the patient.

A few years back,

we had

an accident here.

A car wreck.

A severe head trauma.

When they reached

the municipal hospital,

it was too late.

I thought to myself,

if only we had neurosurgery here,

even for basic emergency procedures,

maybe that patient

would have survived.

That's the reason

I went to Songshan for a fellowship

for over a year.

I'm getting on in years.

Dr. Lin,

do you think I'm overreaching?

Of course not.

Medicine is a field

that requires

constant mastery.

Hello?

Mr. Lei,

Medical Affairs has contacted

the municipal hospital.

They said there was

a massive pile-up downtown

this afternoon.

Their ORs

are already running at full capacity.

Oh no.

It's not that we can't do

the surgery here.

I...

I'm just worried our lack of experience

might compromise

the patient's prognosis.

Mr. Lei,

the CT results

are in.

Dr. Lin, please take a look as well.

It doesn't matter whether they can

take him anymore.

The hemorrhage is over 70cc.

There's no time for a transfer.

Surgery is mandatory.

Yes.

We're backed into a corner.

Without immediate surgery,

even if he pulls through,

the long-term outlook is grim.

Is the family here?

I'm his colleague.

I can't reach his family

at the moment.

Then have Medical Affairs sign off

on emergency treatment.

Everyone, get ready, now.

A hematoma evacuation

is a routine procedure.

Mr. Lei, don't be too worried.

I know.

During my fellowship at Songshan,

I performed a few myself,

and they went well.

But that environment

makes you feel secure.

Performing it on my own turf

just makes me extra on edge.

Mr. Lei,

the Director said he couldn't reach you.

He'll be joining you

for the surgery shortly.

Alright.

Dr. Lin,

I have a huge favor to ask.

Go ahead.

I'd like you to stay and provide backup.

I will do everything I can

to save him.

But if anything unexpected

happens during the procedure,

I'd like to rely on your expertise

for guidance.

This might involve

some personal risk for you.

Mr. Lei,

I understand.

I wouldn't call it "guidance,"

but with a life on the line,

it is my duty,

and I won't back down.

Here are my qualification certificate

and my medical license.

Please verify them,

for the record.

[Medical License]

[Operation in Progress]

Lesion involves

the parasellar cavernous sinus,

Meckel's cave,

and the petroclival region,

extending inferiorly

into the posterior fossa,

reaching the level

of the jugular foramen.

We'll proceed with a combined supra-

and infratentorial approach.

The tumor shows severe adhesion

to normal brain tissue

and cranial nerves.

Margins are poorly defined.

Sharp dissection required throughout.

We need to define the extent

of the tentorial resection

and any nerve displacement.

Midline shift

is 16 millimeters.

After the evacuation,

we can replace the bone flap.

I don't recommend a craniectomy.

It's better for the patient's

post-op quality of life.

OK.

[Operating Room]

[Operation in Progress]

Zhuang Xu.

How's Kevin doing?

Traumatic brain hemorrhage.

He's in surgery right now.

He's going to be okay, right?

That sounds terrifying.

How did it happen?

Someone collided with him.

Since we got him into surgery in time,

he should pull through.

Where's the person responsible?

He paid the deposit

and went out to grab some food.

Has Kevin's family been notified?

Do any of you know his family?

I've already checked with HR.

They said

they'll get in touch with them

as soon as possible.

I'm just too good.

It died from the cold.

I'll stay a bit longer.

I'll head back as soon as it gets dark.

Hello, I'll take these.

That'll be 170.

Do you want to charge

your phone a bit longer?

It should be enough.

Thanks.

It's back on.

Thanks.

Jiang Rui.

How much for two bottles?

Three.

Perfect.

How thoughtful of you.

Can't play favorites.

I thought

you'd stay on the slopes

until the very last second.

Can't believe you came down early.

I came down for a bathroom break.

Don't say it so loud,

okay?

When did you get down?

My battery was low,

and the cold on the mountain

just killed it.

I lost track of time,

so I headed down around 4 PM.

I picked up some souvenirs for friends.

Where's Lin?

He should be down soon.

He's never late.

See?

That's why you can't count on men.

Aren't you a man?

I'm still a boy.

It's different.

Something must have held him up.

I'll send him a text.

[Lin]

Still on the mountain?

[Lin Yusen]

Sorry,

the subscriber you dialed

is not available at the moment.

Why isn't he picking up his phone?

He's probably still out on the runs

and didn't hear it.

That's not like him.

Shuai has the worst luck,

taking a spill like that.

He'll be stuck in bed

for the rest of the trip.

It was just some superficial scratches.

When I took him to the infirmary,

I heard there was a major accident

on the black runs today.

The ambulance took someone

straight to the county hospital.

So serious?

No way.

Lin is actually a solid skier.

Even the pros get

into trouble sometimes.

Besides, he is a total accident magnet.

And he's still not picking up.

I can't sit here.

Let's head over to the infirmary

and ask around.

Excuse me.

Could you tell us how

to get to the infirmary?

Just keep going straight

and take a left.

Thanks.

Xiguang, slow down.

Can I help you with something?

Hi.

We were wondering

if a patient by the name of Lin

was brought in today?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Told you you were overthinking it.

I heard someone was sent

to the county hospital.

He wasn't named Lin either, right?

I'm not really sure about that.

I was swamped at the time

and only caught a glimpse.

The patient had a suspected brain bleed,

so he wasn't treated here.

Yeah, they called 120

up on the mountain.

An ambulance took him

straight to the county hospital.

Did he leave any information?

It was critical.

Our staff

accompanied him to the hospital.

So we don't have any records.

Are you a relative?

I can't reach my friend,

so I came to check.

What did the injured person look like?

He was quite tall,

wearing a black ski suit.

Like I said, I only caught a glimpse

before I had to

attend to other patients.

Their skis are still here, though.

Wait, which hospital

was he taken to?

Tianchi County People's Hospital.

Maybe it wasn't Lin who got hurt.

There were

so many pairs of skis over there.

He might've dropped

his phone somewhere,

and that's why

we can't get ahold of him.

Right.

I'll call my mom.

Hey, Mom.

You have Ms. Sheng's

number, right?

Could you give her

a call and ask

where Lin Yusen is?

Okay, I'll wait.

Don't worry.

I'm sure Lin is fine.

He's going to be okay.

Mom.

I tried calling,

but no one's picking up.

No oozing. Nicely done.

We're ready to close.

[Tianchi County People's Hospital]

[Operating Room]

[Operation in Progress]

- Doctor.

- Doctor.

The surgery was a complete success.

The hematoma has been largely evacuated,

and the bleeding point

has been localized and controlled.

That's wonderful news.

Thank you so much, Doctor.

It's what we do.

- Thank you, Doctor.

- Thank you, Doctor.

The patient

hasn't regained consciousness yet.

He'll be moved

to the ICU shortly

for observation and monitoring.

If he wakes up

within the next 24 hours,

he'll be completely out of the woods.

Got it. Thank you.

That's great. Thank you so much, Doctor.

We really appreciate it.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Man, thank goodness

he made it out alive.

So, what's the next step?

Well, regarding that,

there's something I need to address.

♪Light cast upon the glass♪

♪The way ahead fades from sight♪

♪Yet as always, unchanged♪

♪The ice within my heart melts away♪

♪How could I ever let go?♪

You're okay?

I thought something had happened to you.

Jiang Rui and I heard

someone got hurt on the black runs

and was brought here.

And we just couldn't get through to you.

Wait, why are you in scrubs?

You came all the way here

looking for me?

We kept calling and you never picked up.

Then we saw your board

at the infirmary.

You scared the life out of us.

We thought something terrible

had happened.

Thank goodness you're okay.

But why are you even here?

What on earth is going on?

It's okay.

Dr. Lin.

Please, stop thanking me.

Truth is,

we owe it all to Dr. Lin.

He's the one

who immediately had the ski patrol

call for an ambulance

and get the patient to the hospital.

He bought the patient

that precious "golden hour."

He also provided crucial guidance

during the surgery.

Oh, right,

he's a doctor from Shanghai, too.

You performed the procedure.

I just provided some suggestions.

Thank you.

Why are you here?

The patient is my colleague.

It's you?

Wait, aren't you Zhuang's student

and his cousin?

So, Dr. Lin

is your friend?

Small world.

Thank you so much

for saving our colleague.

Once Kevin's recovered,

we'll come to thank you in person.

That won't be necessary.

His recovery is all that matters.

So

you just brought the patient here

and you're fine?

Yeah.

That's a relief.

Mr. Lei, Dr. Lin,

you should go and get changed.

Dr. Lin,

I heard

your phone ringing

while I was in the locker room earlier.

Alright.

I'll go change first.

Wait for a second, okay?

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you, Doctor.

Kevin is okay.

I guess

that's the silver lining in all of this.

Right.

Exactly.

As long as he's okay.

Xiguang,

told you you were overthinking it.

But those skis

really freaked me out.

But man, Lin

looked so cool just now.

He was

a completely different person

in those scrubs.

He used to be

a top-tier neurosurgeon, after all.

Then why the career change?

Performing surgery is so cool.

Still, he should have

at least called you.

Right, your phone was dead.

[Missed Call]

[Xiguang (15)]

[Xiguang: Still on the mountain?]

[Call canceled]

[Lin]

Jiang Rui.

How long did it take us

to get here?

The driver didn't take the highway,

so about 50 minutes.

Why?

Mom?

Xiguang,

Lin's mom called back.

She said Lin ran into someone

who was injured.

He suspected it was a brain bleed

and feared the worst for him,

so he accompanied them to the hospital.

I see.

Mom.

Do you know exactly when Ms. Sheng

found out about this?

I didn't ask.

But

she said she's been

at the hot springs

getting a massage all afternoon,

which is why she missed my calls.

Then she must have known

before she went to the spa.

Is something wrong?

Nothing.

Jiang Rui and I

will be back a bit later.

Let's go wait outside.

They went outside to wait for you.

Okay. Thanks.

Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin, wait.

I've got

Mr. Liao on the line.

Why don't you say a few words to him?

Okay.

Here.

Mr. Liao.

This wasn't

how I expected to hear from you.

Yusen,

my offer is still on the table.

I believe

it's what your teacher

would have wanted.

Are you sure you won't reconsider?

Look,

there's still so much you can offer.

Just because you can no longer operate

doesn't mean

you have to leave the hospital.

You still have the experience

and knowledge.

You can't let

all those years of training go to waste.

If I can't perform surgery,

then I'm

just replaceable.

[Tianchi County People's Hospital]

Lin, finally, you're out.

I don't know why, but Xiguang

insisted on waiting out

here in the cold.

Let's find somewhere

to eat.

I'm starving.

I'm craving the snow hut hot pot.

Okay.

There's a hot pot place

right across the street.

Let's head over and talk there.

Fine by me. As long as it's warm.

Wait a second.

I have something to ask you.

It took Jiang Rui and me

about 50 minutes

to get here by cab.

An ambulance would be faster.

Let's say 30 minutes, tops.

That means in all that time,

even while you were helping the patient,

you still had a moment

to leave me a message on WeChat,

didn't you?

Then why couldn't you

send me

a quick text?

Even if my phone was off,

I would've seen it

the moment I turned it back on.

I'm sorry.

I've been running around looking for you

like a complete idiot.

I didn't think

you'd come looking for me.

Why wouldn't you?

What's the point of an apology?

When it really mattered,

I didn't even cross your mind.

And you claim to like me?

I don't think

you like me at all.

You knew I'd be worried,

and yet you didn't even bother to text.

No, wait.

You didn't even think

I'd be worried about you.

Lin, you're dead meat.

It's my first time seeing Xiguang

this angry.

This time, I'm telling the truth.

Mom.

You're back.

What happened?

What's going on with her?

I'm heading back after this.

And those count

as your paycheck for today.

Don't go saying I owe you anything.

Wait, is this thing

made of gold or something?

What? Got a problem with that?

The firework itself might be cheap,

but I'm out here

braving minus twenty-degree weather

just to light it with you.

That's gotta be worth something, right?

Definitely.

Well? Are you happy or not?

I am.

That's all that matters.

Sir, please turn around.

Xiguang,

your "deluxe dinner" is served.

Come and get it.

Hey, don't give me that look.

Instant noodles are better than nothing.

You're the one who ran back here

in such a rage.

We could've at least had a proper meal

back in the county.

Was I not supposed to get mad?

You were.

But you didn't have to

get that worked up.

Well, I don't know.

But,

if I had been the one

who didn't inform you in time,

you'd probably have just smacked me

and been done with it.

At least you wouldn't feel this wronged.

Wronged?

Yeah.

Your eyes were all red,

as if you were about to cry

from pure frustration.

Xiguang,

you're really quite tough

on Lin.
