[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 5]

This island is quite beautiful.

The Qiao family came to this island

from Fujian more than 100 years ago.

If it weren't for the capabilities and perseverance of their family members,

they wouldn't have been able to survive on this multiracial colony.

It's delicious, right?

Is there still a place for forbearance nowadays?

Forbearance is their family teaching.

They have to forbear to sustain such a big family business.

Besides, Xiang Wan is already the chief of Qiao Tribe.

Someone like you

who makes his home anywhere will never understand something like this.

What I don't understand

is your wedding of the century.

Shouldn't it be full of flowers

with peacocks and elephants?

Why didn't it have such an atmosphere?

That was not a wedding. It was an engagement party.

The reason why we have this engagement party is to...

Well, there are still a few months

to three years since Xiang Wan's father passed away.

We are still mourning so we didn't want anything extravagant.

So traditional.

Biological researcher, Kelly Liang,

married into a traditional family to support her husband and raise children.

That's so unlike you.

Do you understand me so well?

Fine. You are right.

Did you see many pristine tropical rainforests

around the mountains on your way here?

Almost every famous Chinese herbs in South East Asia can survive here.

Have you heard about the number of witches in South East Asia?

Don't worry. I didn't poison you.

These witches are herbalists.

They also possess many secret herb formulas

that had been lost for many years.

So, we've established

Qiao's Tropical Plant Extraction Research Institute.

We research extracting

useful substances in plants that can be used to make medicine.

High-tech plant extraction.

Amazing.

Have you gotten any results?

Of course.

But the results we got were all minor.

Me and my research partner, Dr Jones, are currently researching

an anticarcinogen that inhibits the development of cancer.

It'll be successful soon.

You've dug up a diamond mine.

Many large pharmaceutical companies already have an eye on our results.

If we are successful,

both the economic value and study value

are immeasurable.

But the pharmaceutical companies are the ones who make a profit,

not us, researchers.

Come on.

Come on!

Don't you know me well?

Money is not that important to me.

I don't care about money.

The research outcome is more important to me.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Only Thomas can be as crazy as you.

That's the power of love.

You wouldn't understand.

That was why I married him

and moved here.

It's been almost five years.

I believe we'll definitely be successful.

This curry is so delicious.

You can eat more if you like it.

Auntie Pan is good at cooking.

If you like it, you can eat here every day.

Why don't you just move to the Qiao family?

There are many guest rooms here. I'll get someone to clean it.

That Friendship Hospital of yours has neither water nor electricity.

It's not a good place to stay.

China doctors are human beings too.

We already have good benefits.

Besides,

you should know my habits.

I'm not someone who wants stability.

That means you won't be staying here for a long time.

I'll leave once the transport resumes.

I'm relieved to see you so happy.

No way.

Here, give me.

This is your favourite, right?

No.

No.

I remember Parma Ham is your favourite so I got someone to make it for you.

You didn't change at all.

Finish everything.

Xiang Wan is out socialising every day.

I can't finish it since I'm alone anyway.

C'est la vie.

Dr Zhou.

Regarding Little Four's operation yesterday,

I want to apologise to you for my lack of composure.

I'll accept it.

Thanks for everything that you've done for Little Four.

I even cursed at you. Sorry.

It must be tough for you to be scolded by someone you like recently.

Someone I like?

Who do I like?

Me.

Although we've not been working together for a long time,

I've been observing you.

You are the type of person who is serious in a relationship, right?

So, I think I have to tell you this.

We have different opinions so our execution will be different.

Take yesterday as an example.

We were all doing it for Little Four's sake

but our executions were different so we had an argument.

That means we need more time to get to know each other.

I'm suggesting...

I want to tell you to control yourself.

Don't be so invested in me.

Sometimes,

I can't even control myself.

I understand.

You mean that you think I like you?

Weren't you jealous yesterday when I asked Yu Qian out for a ride?

-Jealous? -Yes, you even broke my rearview mirror.

It's all right.

Dr Lee.

I need to tell you solemnly.

First, I hate motorcycles.

Second, I don't like to go on rides.

Who takes a ride with you is none of my business.

-Why do you hate motorcycles? -Why should I tell you?

The only thing that I can tell you

is that I don't like you at all.

Not even a bit?

You don't believe me?

Fine.

Take this money,

buy all the cooling oil you can get and spread it all over your body.

Spread a thick layer.

I'm sure you will wake up.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

You like her?

-You like her? -It's her who likes me.

Nonsense.

You have good taste, kid.

Keep it up.

The debate about whether

a surgeon is a good boyfriend starts now.

Let's start with Matron Ye from the affirmative team.

Surgeons are the best boyfriends.

Surgeons are highly educated, strong, clever and good with their hands.

Surgeons have to be strong and healthy.

They have max boyfriend power.

They are also good with their hands.

Look at Dr Liao.

The surgical suture he did was perfect.

With a boyfriend like him,

he can do embroideries and also cut wood.

He can even harvest some meat out of a fly.

If he meets a robber on the streets,

he can even rip the robber's arms.

He is very mighty.

Since there are a lot of emergencies,

he doesn't have to spend a lot on fashion.

Just jeans and t-shirts will do.

He can get on the bed once he removes them.

Don't stare at me like that.

I meant the bed in the operation theatre.

Another important point,

surgeons have almost zero chance of having an affair.

That's because they don't have a fixed working hour.

They will always be working no matter others are working or not.

In conclusion, if I have a daughter,

I'll definitely ask her to get a surgeon as his boyfriend.

Handsome and reliable.

How reassuring is that?

-Great speech, Sis Hong. -Great speech indeed.

If I'm Dr Zhou, I'll get Dr Liao as my boyfriend.

Wu!

You're straying from the topic.

Yes, well, what Sis Hong said was very good.

I was convinced by her.

Negative team.

Begin.

Getting a surgeon as a boyfriend is not good.

Why?

They look strong but they are too busy.

It's true. That's not a job of a normal human being.

I've seen surgeons working day and night since I came to Yaohe Hospital.

They are always on call.

Besides,

an operation is usually so long that they have to stand

for more than ten hours.

Even their toes have transformed.

Do you remember Fang from Liao Yu's department?

He is in his early fifties

yet he has varicose veins on his calves.

So, surgeons are not good boyfriends.

Sounds rude but it's reasonable.

I've won!

Well, tell me.

Hearing him say that makes me realise

how hard we work as medical personnel.

We have to care about our career and family

yet the patients still couldn't understand our hardships.

Isn't that...

Am I straying away from the topic again?

No, Wu. You are right. Great speech.

According to what I've just said,

can Dr Liao get a wife in the future?

Sis Hong.

So, who won just now?

-Sis Hong! -Wu!

Wu has to win. Wu, you are great. It's true.

What are you talking about?

Yes, what are you talking about?

No, that's...

Let me get you two some water.

This pattern...

-This... -Who are you gossiping about?

No, we don't gossip.

-We are talking about work. -We are not gossiping about you two.

Us?

Wu, where's the water? Hurry up, I'm so thirsty!

They are very thirsty, where's the water?

Look.

-Take a look. -Okay.

Oh my god!

-Take a look. -No.

Yes, I understand.

My father has told me.

I've placed it at the most obvious spot.

Yes. Got it.

Eat.

Wu.

There used to be luncheon meats

but there's only preserved vegetables now?

-What's wrong? -What's that smell?

-Is that the preserved vegetables? -No, it's not.

That's not right.

-There's no smell. -You've cooked the preserved vegetables?

No.

Mr Qiao is sending us meat tonight.

Isn't it a waste to cook it now?

What's that smell then?

What is it?

No.

Cong, you smell.

-It's true. You smell. -Impossible.

I'm sure.

I'm such a hygienic person.

I have the breath of a flower.

How could I smell?

Sis Hong, smell me. I think I smell too.

Do we all smell?

I'm sure all of us smell.

It's been seven days since we last took a bath

when we came here from Beijing.

We've been so busy

and we sweat because of the weather.

It would be weird if we don't smell.

Exactly.

Look at me.

I'm tanned and my hair is so messy.

I think my mother will cry if she sees me.

Who said he is not afraid of hard work and exhaustion

and wants to become a young example at the motivational meeting?

I'm not afraid of hard work and exhaustion but I'm afraid of having no water to bath.

Cong.

That's nothing.

Do you know

how many days I've not taken a bath when I was on a journey

on a long-distance freighter?

More than 20 days in the summer.

That smell is really...

Wu, stop it. That's so disgusting. I can't even eat my meals.

Stop it.

Cong.

We all smell. Come.

I'll smell you while you smell me.

We'll get used to it soon.

-No one wants to smell you. -Come here.

Don't run! Come back!

That's...

This is...

Is there electricity?

Yes, there's electricity! Let me see if there's water.

Is this for real?

There's water!

There's water.

Hurry and take a bath!

-Hurry up! -Hurry and take a bath!

Liao Yu.

-Hurry up! -Should you be running faster than me?

There's finally water.

Xiao Cong, do you want to die?

All right.

Come.

-Come on! -You're here?

-Xiao Cong, have some. -Wait, don't do that. It's too slippery.

Gosh, the men have gone mad.

Sis Hong.

The earthquake baby is so cute.

I want to give him a name.

You're a cultured person. You can give him a name.

Let me think about it.

He has a round face,

big eyes

and a sweet smile.

What about Little Potato?

No, it's not sweet enough.

Little Glutinous Rice Ball?

Just name him Little Fishball. Why is every name a type of food?

Isn't it a trend to use foods as a nickname now?

Let's think about it.

Let's call him

Little bun.

Little Bun?

Little Soup Dumpling.

His shining eyes are like the crystal cube in a soup dumpling.

That's a good name.

There are soup and meat inside. There's no need to worry about food.

This is an auspicious name.

Little Soup Dumpling.

Cong.

It's so noisy.

Cong, just hang it!

How is it?

-Liao Yu, don't sit there. -Dr Zhou.

-Jump! -Come, let's do it together.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Liao.

Quick, stand up.

-Move around. -Aren't you tired?

Let's look at Cong!

Hurry up! Cong, quick!

Breaking, let's go!

Let's have a battle!

-Sis Hong, I'm going to cook. -Skinny.

Have fun, I'll cook.

Thanks, Wu.

-Tell me who is the winner later! -Sure!

Drive.

-Turn. -Turn.

Turn and reverse.

Go forward.

Do the kite!

Isn't this Dr Qiao?

Dr Qiao looks good without the white coat.

Yu Qian looks good in traditional costume.

Dr Qiao, let me help you.

I've never seen him treating a girl so well.

All of you are here.

You look really pretty in this.

Thank you.

Dr Qiao.

Let me do it.

You're using this again.

-This is the last one. Just take a break. -Thank you.

-Nice weather today. -Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is DJ Cong!

Drop the beat! Come on!

Xiao Cong, do more actions!

Today's sky is so pretty.

[Medical team members, please come to the conference room.]

[Medical team members, please come to the conference room.]

[Medical team members, please come to the conference room.]

This is absurd!

They are so daring!

Doctors are not allowed to endorse

any drug and supplement companies.

You can't do it in the country and definitely not abroad.

Where is Xie Hua? Go and bring him here.

Dr Huo.

I saw Dr Xie at the entrance.

He went out with Dr Li's motorcycle.

What? Why didn't you stop him?

-When was it? -Just now.

-What? -Oh, you too, Zhou Yue.

Weren't you responsible for the rotation?

-Why didn't you watch over him? -I don't know.

Dr Xie even told me that

he will bring me to familiarise myself with the village today.

I didn't know he left without me.

I didn't know something so serious happened too.

This is really serious.

A foreign aid doctor

endorsing a child supplement company.

This is unheard of.

What's the nature of this?

This is a fraud.

This is going against medical ethics.

This is so much more than that.

This is an embarrassment for the doctors of China.

Dr Huo.

Sorry for interrupting. I have something to say.

I went out to buy groceries two days ago.

The locals were looking at me strangely.

Yes.

Uncle Wen also talked to me in a strange way this morning.

I think that

Dr Xie

doesn't need to do that.

-Right? -I think there's a hidden plot.

I think it's weird that this leaflet appeared suddenly.

Look.

Just look at this picture.

He is looking at the camera. Do you think it was a candid shot?

He is obviously posing for it!

Fine, even if it's a scheme, isn't he leaving in two days?

Do they have to do this to him?

Besides,

if something like that happened, he should be reporting to the team,

the embassy and the leader of the hospital in China immediately.

Why did he run away like that?

We must find him. I'm worried that something might happen.

Anyone of you knows where he went?

No one knows where he is right now.

He left in a hurry.

I'll call the leader to report this.

Also, skipping the meeting twice will get him two serious demerits!

Buy!

Where's your father?

-He's not here. -He's not here?

Tell me. How many times have I come here?

It was you every time. Is he avoiding me on purpose?

Why do you still ask if you know that?

Because of what happened to you,

my father has offended the An family. They came here looking for him every day.

My father is not avoiding you.

He is avoiding them.

Where are you going?

Can he avoid me for life?

Explain this to me.

Get your father to give me an explanation if you can't.

Why did my photo appear in this advertisement?

Just ask him when he's back.

I don't know.

What do you mean? When is your father coming...

Boss, do you have any papayas?

Yes, Dr Liu.

I've reported this to the embassy.

I'll ask Xie Hua about it

when he comes back.

[How's the situation with Dr Feng?]

Dr Feng said

he doesn't believe Xie Hua will do something like that.

[Regarding ESLove,]

[it is a locally produced drink in Zal Island.]

[It is a local children's favourite.]

Stores and malls around Friendship Hospital sell them.

But this situation

never occurred in the past.

You have to handle this situation calmly.

Don't simply get angry with that temper of yours.

Yes, I understand.

I'll do my best to improve.

This incident

will definitely cause a problem.

Give a heavy punishment if it's true!

[If that's not the case,]

[all of you need to be extra careful.]

[Besides doing your work,]

[don't get involved in their business.]

You don't have to take commands when you're out on the battlefield.

You have to

[do your own analysis sometimes.]

[This is also why I've assigned you to become the team leader.]

Yes.

Step back.

I think

it's placenta previa.

It's also placenta accreta.

Relax.

No way.

Are you mistaken?

I'll make sure to torture you if you are mistaken!

Yes.

My opinion is the same as the West District Hospital's.

It is placenta previa and placenta accreta.

Tell me.

What should we do now?

Placenta accreta is an unusual situation

where it grows too deeply into the uterine wall.

During birth, it can't...

I'm asking you what to do instead of giving me a textbook explanation!

This is a high-risk operation. With the medical conditions of Zal Island,

an experienced doctor is needed to carry out the operation.

Besides, Miss has asked for a female doctor to carry out her operation.

But last week, our director, Dr Sherry, has...

Enough!

Are you telling me that she is the only one on this darn island

who could save my daughter?

If you don't allow patients to enter the main building,

call some doctors at least, okay?

No.

This is so lawless.

You will be doomed

if you keep this up.

Sir, forget them. You have a serious cough.

I'll bring you in for sputum excretion. Let's go.

What happened?

An Wan Hao.

-What happened? -Mr Qiao.

Sir.

-Why are we chased out? -I need to see a doctor.

We need to see a doctor.

-Mr Qiao is here. -Mr Qiao.

No.

There's another way.

Use a helicopter.

Send a doctor from Main Island with a helicopter.

Get Anna to the Main Island otherwise.

-It's too late, Mr An. -Why?

Uncle An.

What brings you here?

-Xiang Wan, it's not me, it's Anna. -What happened to Anna?

Anna...

I can't explain it! Ask her!

The patient is in her 30th week of pregnancy. The due date is ten days later.

Due to the recent earthquake, she experienced shock

and had a serious stomachache this morning.

She was examined by two West District Hospital doctors.

The result is placenta previa and placenta accreta.

Mr An came here to me because he was worried.

My assessment is the same as the two doctors.

The water is breaking and we need to do a C-section.

This is a high-risk operation that might cause excessive bleeding.

How much are we talking about?

It might exceed

more than half of your daughter's blood.

In China,

we have a lot of clinical experience

in handling placenta previa and placenta accreta.

For example,

we can use 3D Colour Doppler Imaging to create a rendering

to analyse how deep

has the placenta grown into the uterine wall

and its area.

We can also calculate an unusual placenta's newborn blood

to determine the blood loss during the operation.

Besides that, we can also

use MRI to observe the back of the uterus

to see if the unusual placenta will affect other organisations.

Jane.

It hurts!

I'm going to die!

Breathe.

Push. Push harder.

Jane.

Breathe.

Deep breathe.

Keep breathing. Push harder!

Unfortunately, medical equipment is insufficient in Friendship Hospital.

We only have a rather old B-scan machine at the moment

and also

my hands.

You'll have to

leave the rest to fate.

Leave the rest to fate?

What do you mean?

I'm telling you.

If you can't save Anna, I'll chop your hands off!

What?

Xiang Wan, order them to save Anna immediately!

I want all of them to die along with Anna if they can't save her!

Mr An!

Mr An.

Miss Anna said

she only wants this female doctor to carry out her operation.

Dr Zhou is right.

We can only depend on her hands in this extreme situation.

We also have to carry out the operation immediately.

You can rest assured about Dr Zhou's clinical experience.

On this island and even the rest of the Republic of Maribor Island,

Dr Zhou

is the only

female O&G doctor.

She's also the only one experienced enough to save your daughter and your grandson.

Please respect her.

Just tell me what you're going to do!

Matron Ye, prepare for the operation.

Yes.

Dr Ge, check the blood bank.

See how much blood is left that matches Anna's blood.

We still lack a lot.

Get it from the West District Hospital then!

They might not have enough over at the West District Hospital.

Demand for West District Hospital's blood plasma is also really intense.

Even if you take the entire stock, it still might not be enough.

What else can we do?

Uncle An,

perhaps you can call the Governor personally and ask him to supply us,

we can go pick up what they have with our helicopters.

I won't call him.

I hung up on him when he called me to donate money yesterday.

It'd be funny

if he doesn't ignore me.

If you send him the donation later and get Xiang Wan to put in some good words,

perhaps the Governor will forgive you.

That depends on whether the life of your grandson or your money is more important.

Okay, I'll call him.

Also, Mr An.

Please get them out.

This is a hospital. They will interrupt our work.

It's for your daughter's own good.

Fine!

-Dr Huo, I'll prepare for the operation. -Sure.

Jane.

Harder. Push harder!

Jane, I love you.

Dr Qiao.

The circumference of the baby's head is too big.

I don't think it works.

Stay here. I'll call for help.

Jane, relax!

Jane, I love you.

Where's Dr Zhou?

A pregnant woman is experiencing dystocia. It is too much to handle for the midwife.

She is Dr Zhou's patient. She needs Dr Zhou.

-What? -She went to the operation theatre.

Really?

Stop!

What did you say? Why is there another pregnant woman?

I said no.

Send her to another hospital.

Dr Zhou can only attend to my daughter.

There's another patient experiencing dystocia. We are solving the problem.

Uncle An!

Do the other women's lives mean nothing besides Anna?

Dr Zhou was supposed to help this patient delivers her child.

You were the one who took Dr Zhou away. Give her back!

How dare a little girl talk to me like that!

Mr An, please calm down.

Go.

All of you...

Huo Xiang!

Dr Zhou. Jane has uterine inertia and the fetal heart is weak.

Prepare for the operation. We'll do both together.

What do you mean?

Why did another pregnant woman appear?

Is her family more wealthy than mine?

You think the lives

of my daughter and my grandson are child's play because of her?

This is not child's play.

Not every doctor can deliver a baby.

Only an O&G doctor can deliver a baby.

They are specialised.

But, Dr Zhou is the only O&G doctor we have here.

-I don't care. Get someone else to do it. -Dad!

Where have you been? You are so late!

I was late because I was busy.

How is Anna?

How is she?

They are going to

send another pregnant woman into the same operation theatre

to deliver the baby together with your wife!

Why?

There she is!

You can't go in.

Why?

Let my wife do the operation first. No one else can enter.

Sir, please calm down.

-This is a hospital. -No way!

What are you doing?

Dr Zhou, why did you come out? My daughter is still inside!

Go in!

They don't allow us to push her in.

They don't allow it?

-Don't go in! -You...

Mr An.

Your daughter is not the only life out there.

You can let me do both operations at once

or shoot me right here, right now. The choice is yours.

You...

Let's go.

-Get ready for the operation. -Yes.

-You... -Don't fire your gun accidentally!

You...

Father.

Who are you?

How dare you talk back to us!

I'm a doctor here.

You're a doctor here?

Yes.

He is also our friend besides being a doctor here.

He is here especially to participate in our wedding.

Roy. Put away that gun.

Great.

A doctor and a friend.

Well played.

I suspect that

he is not a doctor at Friendship Hospital.

He has no right to become a doctor here.

This kid

is treating patients illegally which goes against the local law.

Take him to the police station!

Arrest him!

Hold it!

According to Zal Island's law,

in the case of a disaster,

a certified doctor from any countries

can participate in a rescue.

Dr Li did not break the law.

According to the law?

The law states about the scene of the rescue.

This is not where the earthquake occurred.

He has no right to become a doctor here!

The hospital is also a part of the earthquake.

It is a place where the rescue takes place.

Uncle An.

That's unreasonable of you.

Xiang Wan and I joined the rescue too.

We aren't doctors here.

Are you going to take us to the police station as well?

Kelly, who are you siding with?

Do you believe I can accuse anyone of breaking the law on this island?

Well, don't forget. We have a Governor.

Relax.

Why is it so noisy out there?

Her husband and father are causing chaos out there with guns.

Guns?

Forget about them. Focus on our jobs. Hurry.

-Cindy! -I'll leave her to you, Sis Hong.

-Anna! -I don't want to labour with anyone else.

-It's okay. -Why is there another woman?

Don't worry. Both of you will be okay.

No!

I won't!

Daddy!

-Roy! -Don't move.

Don't forget.

There's still a governor.

Xiang Wan can vouch for Daniel to become a doctor here.

The Qiao family vouches for him?

The Qiao family is qualified to vouch for me, right?

Right?

Of course.

The regulation of Zal Island's health department states that

licensed doctors from countries with diplomatic relationship

can become a doctor here as long as a qualified local resident

vouches for him

with a bond.

Yes.

So, are you

purposely opposing me now?

Uncle An,

we will definitely not oppose you purposely.

You are our senior.

But you don't know that

we have a friend with a strange temper over here.

We've promised to vouch for him.

If we go back on our promise now,

he might sue us at the police station.

I'll sue you. I'll even sue you to the Governor.

That's too much.

Don't move.

No!

Listen, Anna.

Stay still and you will see a pretty baby soon.

Okay?

No, Cindy!

Relax.

Oh my god. Dr Zhou.

We will try our best to help you.

You can trust us, okay?

Okay.

Try to relax.

Dr Ge, how's the situation?

The patient index is normal.

-Sis Hong, how's your situation? -She broke water at 9:18 a.m..

She couldn't deliver because the baby is too big.

It's shoulder dystocia.

It's an emergency over here. Should you come and have a look?

-Dr Qiao, help me out. -Okay.

You have to help me.

Please!

Don't worry. Wait a moment.

-Cindy! -It's okay, relax.

Here, follow me.

Lift.

-Breathe in. -Dr Zhou.

I'm so tired.

No way.

We have to do a C-section.

Both of their lives will be in danger otherwise.
