[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 32]

I said, it sounds not profitable, right?

No, it's not like that.

You just have to compress

the research and development cycle.

If it's finished in a short period of time,

you can gather enough clinical trials.

You will get the quick approval for

production and listing.

And as soon as you get listed,

this will generate huge profits.

Compress? How?

I'm sure we have something to do.

Kelly, would you mind looking after Daniel?

Okay, sure.

You guys go, no problem.

Dr Jones. Come with me, please.

All right.

All right. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Dr Jones

is little weird.

But he's very good at what he's doing.

Yeah.

People always say that

our Leader Huo

is good at singing Peking opera.

-No. -Let's welcome Leader Huo

to sing us a part. What do you think?

Yes! That's a good idea!

Please welcome Leader Huo to sing us a part.

-I'll sing a part, then. -Sing us a part.

I'll brace myself for it using a drink.

Sure, go ahead!

♫ This letter comes at the right time ♫

Yes!

Yes! Here!

Yes. Here!

Here, Leader Huo.

You're awesome!

I worship you.

You're really amazing, Leader Huo.

Here, Leader Huo.

That's simply amazing.

All right!

[Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached.]

♫ What a bright moon ♫

[Friendship Hospital]

It's raining.

Zal Island is full of poisonous mosquitoes during autumn.

This is the incense coil from my research institute.

Not only can it repel mosquitoes,

but also refresh one's mind.

It smells real nice.

I remember you used to steal from our family pharmacy.

And that's how we met.

Back then, our family tried to survive on that small pharmacy.

I think there's this one time when a few hooligans got into a fight.

And you stole from our pharmacy

to bandage those hooligans.

They're all my best buddies.

Do you still remember this?

You even took them to my place and stole drinks.

Try it.

Here.

Did we steal a very expensive one?

We found it very pricey at that time.

On second thought, I think it's just 100-plus bucks.

When we were young,

we were carefree.

We then became friends.

And it's because I befriended you and that group of hooligans

that no one in the school dared bully me.

Exactly.

And then we became best friends.

And you courted your best friend.

There's something

I've been meaning to ask you.

I remember...

I remember Auntie had always been healthy.

Why did she suddenly pass away?

Avian flu type J.

Two weeks.

Just two weeks.

And she's gone.

Sorry.

Before she passed away, she even asked me

where you were.

I didn't know how to answer her.

Those are probably the hardest days in my life.

And Xiang Wan was there for me.

That's why

I decided

to spend

my whole life with him.

At that time,

I also made up my mind.

I swore to myself.

That I would make up for it.

That's why I want to make this new medicine center happen.

Not only that,

I also want to...

[Zhou Yue]

[Hello.]

[You finally picked up your phone.]

Hello, Dr Zhou. I'm Kelly Liang.

Ms Liang?

Tian Cheng is at my place. We've just had the reunion dinner.

And now we're drinking and talking.

How can I help you?

Can you get him to answer the phone?

I told you so.

Tian Cheng is romantic and casual. And you do things by the book.

You're not suitable for each other.

Also, didn't Tian Cheng ask to break up with you?

Ask him to talk to me.

He didn't want to do it so he asked me to be his messenger.

I think it's a very clear answer, isn't it?

What? Was I being too cruel?

No.

In fact, it's the best answer for a woman.

It's for her own sake.

I agree.

Here.

Let's celebrate your freedom.

Zhou Yue.

It's me.

I was wondering why the lights are still on in the office.

It turns out that you're here.

I came to read because I can't fall asleep.

What are you up to?

Well, I can't sleep, too.

So, I'm here looking through the data.

You're waiting for Director Li, aren't you?

No.

Zhou Yue.

Maybe he's really caught up in something.

Give him some time.

Let him solve it by himself.

I'll stop waiting for him.

There's no need for me to do that.

-I'm heading back to the bedroom. -Sure.

Are there no patients today still?

No.

And I'm bored to death.

Well, we can take some time off.

So,

are people still gossiping about me?

No.

Sis Hong.

Yes.

Then what do you do?

Take a few days off and avoid people?

What's the use of taking a leave? I won't do that.

Just soldier on?

Yes, I must soldier on.

Well, I've got an idea.

Do you remember I used to be

the head nurse of Health Department?

In the pregnancy school of Health Department,

we taught pregnant women prenatal and postnatal yoga,

as well as various pregnancy ball exercises.

And they're very well-received.

Do you remember?

Yes, I think so.

We can start a pregnancy school here.

I can ask for help from the experienced nurses,

like Huang Shu Hui and Pusha.

I'll teach them first.

And then they can teach pregnant ladies on the island for free.

And there's a rule.

If they make an appointment with you,

they can be the first one to sign up for it.

What do you think about this idea?

What are you doing?

That's so brilliant of you, Sis Hong.

About the beds,

will you tell on me again?

I will.

Not to tell on you.

I'll tell our leader that

you contribute a lot of good ideas.

You lass.

[Friendship Hospital]

What a beautiful sunset.

It's beautiful because Sis Hong is here.

Because you're Sis Hong.

Rest assured.

You're a good doctor.

Many patients need you.

Thank you, Sis Hong.

[Restaurant]

Now, let's work on two types of stretching.

First of all, spread our feet apart as wide as the shoulders.

Then,

slowly lift the balls above our heads.

Breathe in and lift them above our heads.

Breathe out and slowly move to the right-hand side.

Stretch our left muscles.

Hold your breath for three times.

Then, slowly move back to the center.

Slowly.

Let's get out first.

Hold your breath for three times.

Hello.

May I know who are you?

You teach so well.

We would like to learn it, too.

No problem. Here, come on in.

Dr Zhou, may I see you

for prenatal checkup?

Of course.

Let's do a checkup first and see if you're suitable for exercising, okay?

Sure.

Thank you.

Slowly.

Thank you.

Careful.

Watch your step.

Stretch our left muscles.

Breathe.

Breathe in. Hold your breath for three times.

Three, two, one.

When we talk about prenatal care,

we hope that every family

can give birth to a healthy baby.

For example, premarital exam,

preconception checkup,

quit smoking and drinking while pregnant,

and avoid marriage within blood relations.

They are the first steps to prenatal care.

Now, let's talk about postnatal care.

For instance, vaccination, health care,

send your kid to school at the right age,

and etc.

Dr Zhou.

Do you not know how to give birth?

Then who are you to teach us how to give birth?

Exactly.

She can't even do it.

I'm worried.

I'm worried.

She can't even give birth.

Please be quiet.

Indeed.

I've had a car accident when I was small.

And that's why

my pelvis is broken.

It's indeed a situation

that affects a woman's fertility.

But many years have passed.

Based on the physical examination,

I came to the conclusion

that my fertility

is normal.

What is a pelvis?

Pelvis?

Take a look at this image.

The pelvis

is the bone located at this part of buttocks.

This part.

It's used to support a fetus.

But you just mentioned that yours is all broken.

Then can you support a baby?

Exactly, it's all broken.

How can we know...

It goes back to the issue of prenatal care.

For example, we need to do a premarital exam

before getting married.

And a preconception checkup

to ensure that both husband and wife's bodies are suitable

for giving birth to a healthy baby.

That's the condition of it.

So, as for my situation,

if I were to get married and give birth,

I would have to get routine checkups.

Don't you find that inauspicious?

You're a doctor that deliver babies.

But you're not married and don't give birth.

People won't find you convincing.

Indeed.

Right?

Let me tell you a story.

In China,

there are two well-known O&G doctors.

One is Dr Lin Qiao Zhi.

And another one is Dr Liang Yi Wen.

Dr Lin Qiao Zhi remained unmarried for her whole life.

But she delivered more than 50,000 babies.

We call her Mother of Million Babies.

As for Dr Liang Yi Wen,

she was a doctor for sixty-plus years.

And she'd treated many infertile patients.

These two female doctors were childless themselves.

But they'd deliver many healthy babies

for countless families.

And no one found them inauspicious.

On the contrary, many families were thankful for them.

All right, that's all for today.

And I would like to tell you about this.

I brought these handbooks of O&G

all the way from China.

They're written by the Chinese O&G doctors,

and contain a lot of O&G knowledge.

They can help you in your daily life.

You may pass them around.

Let's take a look.

You may pass it around.

Pass it around.

I'm wondering if it looks like this in the womb.

So, you've read the report?

Does it matter anymore?

I never thought about it. I didn't know about all this.

That's a very good and professional lecture.

Indeed.

But did you realise that she doesn't care at all?

Maybe it's really not a big deal.

Are you guys coming?

Of course we are.

Herbal tea and dried fruit will be served.

I'm not going. My mother-in-law is very superstitious.

You made it through it.

Who am I?

I am Zhou Yue.

It's because you're Zhou Yue that I thought you couldn't make it.

I never thought that

you'd talk about your personal life in front of so many people.

You've gotten over it.

I'm different now.

I've come around to it.

I dared not face it back then.

But on second thought,

it's not a big deal.

But will they come again?

I have no idea.

But since I've verified the rumour,

at least people will stop being suspicious.

That's a good mindset.

I'm the new Zhou Yue.

Let's go.

It's too hot.

Why is it still hot when the Mid-Autumn Festival is already over?

This is a tropical island.

It's hot during Chinese New Year, not to mention Mid-Autumn Festival.

You're right.

If it's hot during the New Year,

let's all swim in the sea.

We'll celebrate it wearing swimsuits. What do you think?

You don't have to wait until then. You can do that now.

It's cold and nice here.

I'll do it, then.

[Attention everyone!]

What's going on?

[The village office is negotiating with Qiao Group]

[with regard to requisitioning the land of our village]

[for the purpose of constructing Qiao's new medicine center and Charity Hospital.]

[Announcement]

[The relevant approval procedures]

[for the requisition plan have been completed.]

[All the villagers within the scope of requisition]

[can move to the newly built residential building]

[in the West District.]

A demolition?

I didn't know that.

Of course it's good to move to a new place.

-We're leaving this broken house. -That's right.

It leaks when it rains.

Exactly.

Listen up!

Let's move together.

It's great to move into the building together, right?

That's right.

Great, my foot!

Look at yourself in the mirror!

Only the upper class lives in a building.

And none of you looks like a high-class person!

Have you lost your senses?

Qiao You Zhi, who are you scolding?

I'm scolding you.

Qiao.

Your wife always calls you a good-for-nothing.

If you don't move, she will divorce you. Right?

That's right!

She will divorce you.

Don't regret it.

Fine, you just go ahead and move.

You all have lost your senses!

No one can save you!

-You go ahead and move! -Move! She'll divorce you!

You know nothing!

And you insist on not moving.

It's such a good offer.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's head home and get ready.

Sure, let's go.

We're moving!

What are we doing here in Linshui Village?

Come with me and you'll know it.

Our new medicine center will be built here.

What about the village?

They'll move.

Xiang Wan says,

the villagers here have been living a hard life for generations as farmers.

So, if we offer them some money,

they'll be very happy.

And it'll make things easy for us.

Charity Hospital will be built there.

Hey.

Qiao.

Hey.

Director Li.

Can you ask Mr Qiao not to acquire our lands?

Why?

What's so bad about accepting our money and moving to a better place?

Ms Liang.

This village has been around since my grandfather's generation.

Although it's a bit shabby,

it's clean and quiet.

What's so good about moving to the West District?

It's noisy there.

And we need to pay for water, electricity, gas, and our children's education.

The money is not enough for all those things.

Mr Qiao, you can't just think about yourself.

You need to think about your child.

Only by moving to the West District

can your child receive better education

and have a better future.

If you really care about your village,

you should also think about your next generation and the one after that.

Ms Liang, cut it out.

Let me tell you.

In order to have a future, we must stay alive first.

I'm not capable.

I rear some pigs and plant some vegetables.

And I run a motorbike stall.

But I'm very happy.

But what can I do if I move out?

If I can't rear pigs or plant vegetables,

how can my family survive?

Even though I'm not capable,

I haven't lost my senses.

When those villagers found out about the relocation,

they got so excited as if gold was falling from the sky.

Gold doesn't fall from the sky.

Sooner or later, they will run out of money.

And then they will cry.

Speaking of gold,

the wood is our real gold.

We've depended on it for generations.

You're right.

I never expected

Qiao to be the wisest one in this village.

You're living a good life, Qiao.

But you can't deny how backward your place is.

Why was there a polio outbreak here?

It's because you guys are not knowledgeable enough.

You have no scientific knowledge and modern medicine.

That's why Qian Li Cai's children, Shan and Lin,

are permanently disabled.

If you don't change this circumstance...

Kelly.

If you guys don't change this circumstance,

who will be the next victim?

Think about that.

One can't be short-sighted.

He needs to think about the future.

Let me tell you this, Ms Liang.

You are an outsider. And you know nothing.

Qiao, calm down.

How many people refuse to move?

Just some of us.

And the rest are so happy as if they'd found money on the ground.

They can't wait to move out tomorrow.

And whether they will end up in a gold mine or some dung pit,

no one knows.

Qiao,

I'm aware that you're very upset.

But you must believe me.

What we're doing, it's for the sake of this village.

This village will be transformed into a hospital.

And the director of the new hospital is standing right in front of you.

Director Li.

I learned from others

that you resigned from the public hospital

because it didn't pay well.

That's why you decided to join a private hospital for money.

What do you mean by that?

Can't doctors make money?

Kelly.

You said you didn't want to move

because you couldn't make money there, didn't you?

I've been running the motorbike stall for many years.

And I've always thought that motorcycle travellers

want different things than normal people.

Director Li.

I've always thought that you wanted different things.

Oh yeah.

Since you're now the director of a private hospital,

you probably don't have a chance to ride your bike.

I like trikes very much.

If you don't need it,

you can sell it back to me anytime.

I'll offer you the original price.

I won't cut down the price just because it's used.

Deal?

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

I'd like to talk to you.

-Give me a minute. -Okay.

Congratulations

on becoming a director.

Thanks.

I've ever thought about different reasons why you left Friendship Hospital.

For example,

maybe you love to be free and alone.

You're not willing to stay at the same place for too long.

Or it's because of me.

Perhaps there're other reasons.

But

I never thought that you did so for self-interest.

They need me here.

Why do you want to build a hospital here?

We want to

improve medical standards for the East District.

Don't you find it strange?

What's strange about it?

You've acquired this village anyway.

Since we're in the same field,

here's a reminder for you.

A dead chicken?

What's strange about it?

Marek's disease?

No.

I've ever come across Marek's disease cases in some rural area.

And they didn't look like this.

So?

We all know

how important it is to find out the origin of a virus

so as to control its spread.

Although the polio epidemic on Zal Island is already under control,

we have yet to find out its origin.

Its origin is very suspicious.

So was this dead chicken.

Mr Qiao's package was suspicious as well.

With all these suspicious things happening around,

the Qiao Group is going to build a hospital here.

Of course, I still don't know what's going on here.

And I haven't got a clue.

Yet,

I hope you can think twice

before joining the Qiao Group.

Do you know what I find suspicious?

You're an O&G doctor. But you're doing this kind of thing.

You're too full of yourself.

Just take care of your hospital.

Kelly.

Let's go.

What did she say to you?

Well...

She congratulated me on becoming a director.

I'm going to use a restroom.

Wait for me in the car.

[Since we're in the same field,]

[here's a reminder for you.]

A dead chicken?

What's strange about it?

We all know

how important it is to find out the origin of a virus

so as to control its spread.

Its origin is very suspicious.

So was this dead chicken.

You're an O&G doctor. But you're doing this kind of thing.

You're too full of yourself.

-Careful. -Okay.

What's wrong?

The dead chicken was right here.

A dead chicken?

Did the heavy rain wash it away?

It's impossible for the rain to wash it away.

There wasn't even a flood.

Are we at the wrong spot?

That's impossible.

We came from this way just now. And then we walked over here.

It's beneath the tree.

Yes, it's right here.

The photo was taken here.

Sis Yue.

This place is haunted.

Cut it out!

How can it be haunted? It's broad daylight.

Besides,

why would a ghost take a dead chicken?

Well, Sis Yue, there are so many chickens in the village.

Why would you want a dead one?

I find it rather strange.

There was such a heavy downpour just now.

And someone was here.

And he just so happened to be here.

He then saw the dead chicken

before taking it away.

It's truly strange.

I find you quite strange.

Let's go.

What took you so long?

I only managed to find one after asking several families.

It's already 8:30.

It's getting late. I have to head back now.

Because you're so engrossed in the novel.

I haven't even finished the first volume.

And you're already reading the second volume.

I'm used to it.

I've been a fast reader since I was young.

There's a buzzword that describes you.

It's called a grind.

What grind?

I'm just a bookworm.

Don't humble yourself.

Even smart people like Daniel and Zhou Yue

find you deeply admirable.

That says a lot about your brilliance.

Since you're so brilliant,

were you very reluctant to guide a dull girl like me?

You're not dull.

I think you're quite suited to be a doctor.

But you're lack of mental capacity

and in need of training.

Are you angry over what I said?

No.

In fact, I did some self-reflection.

And I want to thank you for scolding me last time.

Don't bring that up.

About what happened...

Actually, I'm the kind of person

that says what's on my mind.

So, I end up offending people all the time.

If you ever come across any of my shortcomings,

you must let me know.

Why are you so anxious?

We're not having a reflection session here.

Well...

Dr Qiao,

what's your future plan?

Do you plan to be a doctor forever?

How about you, Dr Liao?

When did you decide to become a doctor?

Me?

I'll tell you. But don't laugh at me.

Actually, it's because of a TV series.

A TV series?

Yeah.

Besides playing sports and reading,

I love watching TV series.

I remember I was ten something back then.

Zhou Yue got into a car accident.

Dr Zhou got into a car accident?

And that's a very serious one.

And she stayed in the hospital for quite some time.

We're neighbours who grew up together.

And we're very close.

So, she asked me to send her books and foods.

My mom happened to rent the videotape of a series.

And I still remember its name.

It's called Healing Hands.

I watched that TV series, too.

It's that Hong Kong drama, right?

Yes.

And then?

And I found the way doctors look after

and attend to their patients

really cool.

And I thought

it'd be great if I could take care of Zhou Yue like that.

I see, you used to like Dr Zhou.

I didn't like her.

It's just some childhood thought.

We're not attracted to each other.

Even though everyone thinks we make a good match,

we see each other only as brother and sister.

We're family.

And because I was obsessed with the idea of becoming a doctor

that I started reading a lot of medical books.

After Zhou Yue left the hospital,

she too became obsessed with the idea of becoming a doctor.

We got admitted into med school.

And I ended up becoming a surgeon.

Don't you find that funny?

I became a doctor because of a TV series.

Not at all.

I wanted to be a veterinarian because I'm an animal lover.

But Daddy said no to it.

I got mad and went to study medicine abroad.

But on second thought,

maybe Daddy was right.

Perhaps I'm really not suited to be a doctor.

Why did you say so?

I think you're quite suited to be one.

The key is

to have confidence in yourself and be able to work under pressure.

Dr Qiao.

You don't have to see me off.

You're still recovering from the leg injury.

What if you sprain it again?

I'm no longer a doctor.

But you're still calling me Dr Qiao.

Call me Cindy.

What? Is it too hard to pronounce my name?

Or do you think it doesn't sound good?

No.

Cindy.

All right, quickly get some rest.

Since I'm no longer a doctor,

we're not colleagues anymore.

Can we hang out in another way?

I don't find that appropriate.

I mean, as friends.

That won't do, too?

Goodnight, Dr Liao.

Goodnight.

Thomas!

Thomas!

What are you doing here? It's late.

You know what time it is?

It's midnight. Your man here in your house at midnight.

Have you no shame?

Thomas, you talk like Dad.

But you're not Dad.

Don't be so serious.

You had the responsibility

to be mindful of your behaviour when Dad was alive.

And you have that responsibility still.

You're the only daughter of the Qiao family.

So what is Kelly?
