[Episode 24]

Mom, the doctor has already explained very clearly just now.

As long as they insert a nasogastric tube, my Dad can survive for another half year.

Mom, no matter what, we don't want to give up treatment for Dad.

I understand how you both feel.

The one who is lying there is your Dad who is also my husband.

Of course, I also don't want to see him die.

I know that you've endured hardship to take care of myDad all these years.

Don't worry! From now on, Little Jie and I will come back often whenever we have time.

We'll take care of him together.

You know that we've already transferred to countless hospitals.

So many doctors and specialists have examined him.

They all said that Dad's illness cannot be cured.

You booth love your dad and can't bear to see him go.

However, when speaking of the term "filial piety," isn't the word "obedience" part of it?

- As things are now, why should we make him stay alive to suffer? - Mom.

Why can't you think for Dad's sake?

Mom, it isn't that we aren't filial!

It isn't that we insist on making Dad suffer.

If the doctor had said that Dad was at the point of death and could no longer be saved,

we would've accepted that.

- But he still has half of a year. - What will the half of a year be like?

What quality of life will it be?

- Mom! - No more talking!

Come this way with Mom. Let's go!

Mom, why did you drag us back here?

What do you want us to see?

- How did Dad's hand become like this? - Be gentle!

What kind of hospital is this?

- I'm going to ask them. - Little Jie.

Be quiet! This is the hospital.

Show a little of your good upbringing, won't you?

The doctors have already done their best.

They can't find anywhere to insert the needle.

Look at his ankle! It's already pricked like that.

For these 10 years, he's had minor and major illnesses continuously.

He's also taken medications and getting injections endlessly.

That's why his body already can't handle the load.

After he got Alzheimer's,

you two haven't been home much and, therefore, don't understand much.

You can't imagine the kind of suffering he's been through.

He has repeatedly told me that,

if he ever gets a terminal illness,

he absolutely didn't want me to cooperate with the doctor to save him.

That kind of treatment will only result into living senselessly,

meaningless.

Look at his face!

Pain is written all over it.

Even though he already lost the ability to speak over 600 days ago,

I can still hear his heart crying out:

Let me go!

I beg the two of you.

Don't let Dad suffer anymore!

Mom,

this matter involves Dad's life.

It's really difficult for us to decide.

Please give us a little more time to think it over.

I'm struggling in my heart, too.

During this period of time, I hope we can maintain the basic treatment.

Can it be done?

Dad, you've suffered.

Given Dad's current situation,

what do we do?

I don't know.

Let me think!

Think it over again.

Old Dad, what are you doing here?

You should just keep sleeping, I'm looking for something.

You are making so many noises, I can't sleep.

When you had your birthday last year, I gave you a neck pillow.

- Where is it now? - It's in that storage box.

I've put all the birthday gifts from you in there.

Old Dad, why are you taking that?

- You haven't used it, have you? - No.

You claimed that you specifically bought it for me in Germany.

Do you think I don't know that you pretended and bought it at the airport?

You even bought such a large one that I can't use it.

That's why it's called Heaven's will.

What Heaven's will? What Heaven's will?

You can't use it anyway since it's too large.

Then I'll use it first.

Old Dad, it should be my decision whether to use it.

You must have my permission to take it.

What's this about yours or mine?

- I bought it for you. - You gave it to me, so it's mine now.

Everything in this house is mine, including you.

Hurry and sleep!

Sleep!

Really!

What's given out as a gift, how can it be taken back?

ECG review was done for the patient.

There are no typical myocardial ischemic changes.

Cardiac enzymes (biomarkers) are also normal, so I plan to have him do the Thoracoabdominal CT.

Where are you going?

What's the matter, Dr. Bai?

Little Guang asked me to give this to you.

He wants to thank you for taking him to the amusement park.

Little Guang? How does he know that my neck isn't well?

This rascal has been close with Xu Yi Ran lately.

Maybe Xu Yi Ran told him.

Try it to see if it fits!

The size is just right.

Little Guang is quite thoughtful.

- Thank him for me. - Sure!

I'll go back to my work then.

Thanks.

Dr. Bai... What's going on with him?

Who knows if he's gone crazy.

Dr. Xiao, let's do lunch.

You bought a neck pillow?

- Is it good? - It's quite comfortable.

My neck has been feeling sore, too.

Where did you buy it? I'll also get one.

- Little Guang gave it to me. - What a caring young man!

He knows how to please a girl at such a young age. Watch out when he grows up!

Why do I think that this neck pillow isn't from Little Guang?

It's probably from Bai Zhu.

- Why? - Just think!

Little Guang is a kid, so how would he know that Dr. Xiao's neck isn't well?

Also, Bai Zhu looked so excited just now.

Didn't you saw it, too?

- This neck pillow must be a gift from him. - Seem right!

Dr. Bai did look quite excited just now.

But why does Dr. Bai give Dr. Xiao a neck pillow?

I'm going to make the rounds.

Aren't you going to have lunch?

The two of us go.

[Emergency] [EICU]

Teacher Lin!

Teacher Lin, I've made some tremella pear soup.

Have some while it's hot.

I don't have an appetite.

You look so pale.

Why don't you go home and get some rest?

No.

Shi Lei needs me.

It won't work if you keep on doing this.

Watch him for me, I'm going to the restroom.

Are you all right? Is everything okay?

- I'm fine, just... a little dizzy. - Let me help you up.

Let me check you out.

You're too tired, so I'm giving you some glucose.

Just rest here, and you'll be fine.

Dr. Xiao, please sit.

I also haven't seen Shi Lei smile at me for a long time.

We've been together 40 years.

During these 40 years, we've sacrificed for

and protected each other.

We always bring the warmest smiles to each other.

We always share everything about life and work with each other.

Our conversation never ends.

Even if we had small moments of unhappiness,

they also became a kind of embellishment.

Did we splurge too much in the past?

Did we use up all our happiness?

I wonder if their children have come to a decision.

What decision can there be? It's a kind of blasphemy toward the elderly's wishes.

How is it a blasphemy?

I also don't think they're respecting lives, do they?

You don't know Lin Ruo Yun and Li Shi Lei's love story.

It's as romantic as a TV drama.

That moment will forever be branded in my mind.

Shi Lei and I met by accident.

It was a unexpected fate.

I travelled to Shanghai by myself, but got acute appendicitis.

Shi Lei was my attending physician.

I was a fish out of water, my heart was full of fear and worry.

When I met Shi Lei for the first time, I felt like

he was a long time close friend.

As a doctor,

his professionalism and sense of responsibility,

his patience and care,

when I fell into the abyss,

he was that beam of light.

He saved me from danger.

Later on, we talked a lot.

We increasingly felt like soulmates.

He could read my mind.

He knows me the best.

She's holding him hostage in the name of love.

Why are you so agitated?

No wonder every day

she goes on about the wind, earth, sky, clouds, rain etc.

It's a self-imposed isolation.

She's too immersed in her own world.

Then... how about afterwards?

They rushed to marry after one encounter by chance?

You don't understand what love is.

She and Li Shi Lei are true love.

- I don't believe it. - I do!

Anyway, later on, Lin Ruo Yun moved to Shanghai.

Li Shi Lei used his own skill and capability

to become a very excellent internal medicine doctor.

They fell deeper in love from their respect and dependence on each other.

Didn't Li Shi Lei get pneumonia later on?

Their children were busy with their jobs, so Lin Ruo Yun took care of him every day.

She fed him medicine every day!

Lin Ruo Yun increasingly felt that she couldn't leave him.

She increasingly felt that he was very valuable.

Starting from when we met,

Shi Lei has always wholeheartedly taken care of me.

He protected me from everything, and let me feel no regrets.

I saw it all and remember it all.

Even though we had two children later,

and we no longer had any alone time,

our love to each other never changed.

Their eldest son Li Song was born in their second year of marriage.

They had a daughter in the fourth year, named... Li Jie.

They had children, but their otherworldly love

were still able to maintain.

Lin Ruo Yun also admired western education philosophy, so she let her children be free.

She's also a teacher, so she had summer and winter breaks every year.

So every year she and her husband went on two trips!

In her own words,

"While we are young, we have to travel every corner of this world together."

Shi Lei loved to give me flowers very much.

Every year on my birthday,

I would receive his specially chosen fresh flowers.

Several hundreds of them.

The blooming red roses

filled the entire house.

On the contrary, he often forgot our children's birthdays.

He liked to take me to travel.

Together, we strolled along the golden beach in Australia.

Together, we went to Hokkaido to see the snow.

We admired the flowers by the roadside,

the fresh green on the trees,

the murmur of the flowing waters.

The broad landscape and the setting sun on the edge of the world.

Because life is limited,

we treasure each other very much.

We rarely fought.

We rarely separated.

During those 40 years,

we fell even more deeply in love with each other.

We never wavered in the passing of time.

But now...

the person who knows me the best,

is getting further from me with every passing day.

He's leaving me in his forgetting way.

Dr. Xiao,

do you also think I am a cruel heartless woman?

I can tell that you really love him a lot.

Thank you, Dr. Xiao.

Thank you for listening to me.

Rest well!

What a shame! No matter how romantic the love may be,

it must face the torture of death.

Why do you know so much about her love story?

Are you her family?

Lin Ruo Yun shared her love story with Li Shi Lei online.

I happened to see it online.

Happened to?

I think you paid a lot of attention to it.

Head Nurse, are you criticizing me again?

We are nurses, not a gossip tabloid.

Just think! If we discuss a patient's private life behind their back,

- is that proper? - No.

- Did you forget about the lesson last time? - I didn't forget.

Poor girl, hurry and eat!

Remember it!

- Mom. - Mom.

- What are you doing? - Inserting the nasogastric tube.

Mom, we've made a decision about Dad.

I don't agree!

Dr. Tang, I'm Li Shi Lei's doctor.

You should have reported to me about it when some of the family members demanded the nasogastric intubation.

You made decisions on your own, if something happens, who will take responsibility?

I thought that they're the patient's children.

The patient's wife didn't agree.

The family hasn't reached a consensus, either.

As doctors, how can we make our own decision like this?

Dr. Tang, we should separate our own preferences

from our doctor's identity.

Dr. Xiao, I know I was wrong.

Dr. Xiao, what should we do now?

Let's wait for the family to come to a decision!

You've been together for several decades.

You understand him very well.

My dad isn't someone who gives up easily.

Whether it's his work or his body,

as long as he still has a sliver of hope, he wouldn't give up.

For the past couple of days, we visited many doctors.

We finally came to this decision.

Your decision is just to use these cold tubes to torture him?

Mom, our differences don't seem to be

about whether Dad should be intubated,

but it's more about whether he deserves to persist to stay alive.

How will he live?

What kind of quality of life will it be?

Didn't the doctor already say?

A big area of his brain tissue is already dead.

His heart and organ have begun to fail, indicating his life is reaching the end.

We're all educated people, can't we respect science?

Didn't the doctor also say that he still has half of a year's time?

Not to mention half a year,

even if he is going to die tomorrow,

we should still stay with him to pass today well.

We absolutely won't give up.

I won't give up, either.

Mom, all these years, it's been hard for you to take care of Dad.

Starting today, Little Jie and I will take care of him.

You can go home and rest well.

I'm really sorry! If the family members can't reach a consensus,

I can't insert a nasogastric tube into a patient, either.

Please understand!

All right. I'll contact another hospital.

I hope that you will cooperate in the transfer to another hospital.

As a doctor, I don't recommend transferring the patient to another hospital now.

It's because the patient's body is very fragile now.

Even a slight mishap can be life-threatening.

If you think that I'm exaggerating the dangers and don't trust me,

you can go to other hospitals and consult with their doctors.

Doctor, you're the same like my mom.

You both are thinking that we're tormenting our dad, aren't you?

What you want to do and what Auntie Lin wants to do, I don't see any right and wrong.

It's just that you express love in different ways.

As for whether the patient should have a nasogastric tube,

your family members should discuss again.

I'll respect your wish.

Then I'll get back to work first.

How is it? What did she say?

Older Brother, let's change the hospital for Dad.

Hello, Director Zhang! This is Li Song.

I'd like to consult with you again about my dad's condition.

- Hello? - Dr. Xiao, this is Lin Ruo Yun.

I'd like to meet with you.

I'm sorry about the nasogastric tube.

I don't blame you.

I just didn't expect that, during the last moments of his life,

he would suffer so much.

Facing all these, I'm also helpless.

This is the most painful thing to me.

I understand! To you all,

the passing of the patient is an unbearable weight in life.

They simply made a choice that's different from yours.

So you shouldn't blame yourself, either.

I know that there isn't a right or wrong with the two different ideas.

They hope that Shi Lei will stay alive.

I just don't want him to sink into a desperation where life is worse than death.

Moreover, I promised Shi Lei in the past

that I wouldn't let him suffer in pain during his final moments.

For Shi Lei, I must be brave, and I must persist.

Dr. Xiao, if during this process,

there is any impact to you or to your hospital,

I can only say sorry here in advance.

Dean Song and Director Zhang said the same thing.

Neither one recommends transferring our dad out of the hospital.

- Older Brother, look! - What?

- Everyone, don't record! - Stay quiet for a while. Stay quiet for a while.

If you have any questions, you can go to our hospital's patient communication room.

- They will give you answers. - Everyone, stay quiet!

- Please stay quiet. - Quiet, please!

Please stay quiet.

- We don't have a resolution now. - What's going on?

Lin Ruo Yun is criticizing her son and daughter to the media, and the news is trending now.

- Isn't she stirring up the crowd? - You're impacting our patients.

We can't work when you're here.

About whether inserting the nasogastric tube into a patient,

you've handled the matter very well.

A doctor cannot intercede into a conflict.

We can only give guidance toward a resolution.

Whether the family chooses to continue active treatments,

or let nature take its course, we must be beyond reproach.

As doctors, we can only respect the patient

and the family's wishes, and give them our greatest help.

Often times, when a person heads toward death,

the process is often painful and long.

However, the family believes in rescuing as much as possible.

Therefore, to a certain degree, this kind of behavior

actually prolongs the patient's suffering.

Sometimes, it's really difficult to make a choice.

The most powerlessness in life isn't about being able to choose life and death.

If the patient's family members can't reach a consensus after a long time,

I'll go to talk with them.

What do you think?

I don't want your work to be affected.

Go on!

Mom, you want to adhere to your promise to our dad.

We understand.

Furthermore, you want to reminiscne your love with our dad, we don't disagree.

What we can't accept is that our family's private affairs

are put online by you to be exposed to the public.

When I see those netizens who don't know the truth but

keep clicking likes, forwarding, criticizing, and blaming,

it's like they are telling us, "Why don't you tell your father to hurry up and die,

but let your parents suffer this kind of pain?"

I feel it's so ludicrous. Don't you see?

They aren't talking about other people but our father.

Mom, you exposed our family affairs to let everyone else see

and let them judge.

Is this what you call "love?"

Mom, you've endured hardship in taking care of Dad.

We've seen it with our own eyes.

For Dad's health, Little Jie and I

have also run around everywhere and getting exhausted.

You have a love that's between children and parents.

What we have is the love between a couple. It's different.

That's why we should stand by and watch our dad die?

Mom, why do you have to fight us until you win?

I never wanted to fight with you to win.

I only want to tell you, if you insist on inserting him with the nasogastric tube,

I'll talk to the media and accept interviews.

As long as I have a last breath, I won't allow you to do this.

- Do you have to do this? - Yes.

I wonder how their discussion is going?

I really can't stand such stubborn people

who still won't listen to people's advice.

- Isn't it tiring? - Don't criticize other people like that.

You also have no idea what they've been through in life.

You're judging people with your own morals again.

Furthermore, they've been together for 40 years.

They must have real feelings for each other.

Even if they have real feelings,

it's not something that only involves the two of them now.

Since they have children,

they should try to understand

and respect the next generation's beliefs and ideas.

When there is disagreement with the children, she tells the outside world about the family affairs.

Isn't this kind of love too selfish?

What's the matter?

I just think you're especially cute.

- What's happened with our dad? - Acute heart failure.

They're rescuing him now.

- Doctor? - The patient is basically stabilized for now.

Have the family members decided?

Mom, are you going to watch Dad die?

Mom, say something!

Mom, can you really bear losing him?

Insert the tube then.

Insert the nasogastric tube. Insert it!

I want to stay with him by myself for a while.

Can I?

Thanks!

A year ago, when I held your hand,

you could still respond to me.

In the future, I could never get this kind of response again.

"Death is the worst eternal hardship." (TN: reference to a poem from the Qing Dynasty)

I never expected that your life and death

would repeatedly rip my heart apart.

I'm sorry!

My last try has failed.

I cannot do anything for you anymore.

I can't shout for you, nor plead for you.

I hope it's like what the doctor said,

you no longer have me in your mind.

But, in my mind,

you're forever there.

Good bye, Shi Lei.

In the next life, wait for me!

- Mom. - Mom.

[Emergency Intensive Care Unit]

This is a list of Shi Lei's daily needed items and precautions.

Thank you both of you.

Mom, all these years, you've been taking care of our dad.

You've worked hard.

From now on, Little Jie and I will take care of him.

You can go home and rest well.

If anything happens in the hospital, I'll tell you immediately.

I hope you'll be able to take care of Shi Lei just like I did.

Mom, don't worry!

Taking care of this kind of patient

is a lot more difficult than you imagine.

You may even collapse.

You must remember to rest.

These are sleeping pills.

They should be helpful to you.

Mom, don't worry!

[Doctor Consultation Room 2]

It's finally quiet after so much turbulence.

To a certain degree, it's a good thing.

"Good thing?"

Think about it! It was the patient's own family affair.

But now, because the disagreement between the children and their mother is put up online,

it's become a social topic that many people pay attention to.

China has entered the era of aging society.

Therefore, their case is actually quite representative.

Just like them, who face the difficulty in choosing,

there are actually many patients and families that need society's support.

On the internet, there is a series of discussions based on their case,

such as how to take care of Alzheimer patients,

also how to face the unavoidable death, etc.

Therefore, this troubled family

ultimately brought us positive meaning and value.

When I hear you out, it actually is a good thing.

What are you thinking?

I heard that the matter with Lin Ruo Yun and her husband is resolved.

The family members reached a consensus and agreed to insert the nasogastric tube.

Speaking of which, if it were in the past,

I would've fought with the son and daughter to no end.

I already said, I've been unconsciously brainwashed by you.

"To live is still better than to die." (TN: reference to a 2003 Chinese documentary)

That's what many people believe in.

But a small group of people are like Lin Ruo Yun.

They choose to face the reality.

There is no right or wrong on this kind of thing.

See? This is what she wrote on her Weibo account.

So many people fight back and forth without a conclusion.

So, you should quit struggling with it.

[Emergency] [EICU]

Tang Hua's mother has found quite a few people for her matchmaking.

There were two people who even ran into each other. So awkward!

No matter how anxious her mom is, she shouldn't do it like this.

I think she's so anxious that she can't be very thoughtful.

But, in my opinion, Auntie won't stop that easily.

Who knows how many suitors will keep coming over?

You're deliberately telling those people to nauseate me, aren't you?

If they keep coming over on this nonsense,

I'll terminate our mother-daughter relationship.

- Tang Hua! - Don't fool around in front of me! I'm so annoyed.

I know you're annoyed, so I have a solution for you to quit getting annoyed.

You have a solution? What solution can you come up with?

The reason why your mother is doing so much, the reason is very simple.

She simply wants you to find a boyfriend quickly.

If you satisfy her wish, won't she stop keeping up with this trouble?

I just knew I couldn't get any help from you.

If I had a boyfriend, how would I be in so much trouble?

What I mean, you can...

find a fake boyfriend.

Find a fake boyfriend? Get lost!

When I was in college, I was in the drama club, my acting skill was pretty good.

If I find a boyfriend like you,

my mom will jump into the Huangpu River.

What's the matter making you look so down?

I think, you haven't looked happy all morning.

Last night, my mom talked to me for half a night.

I'm so dazed today that I almost made a big mistake.

If she continues like this, I don't know what I'll do.

This can't be.

I think she's just like this occasionally.

She's getting old, so I'm sure she can't continue without sleeping every night.

You really look down on my mom.

When my mom was young, she was a night owl.

Now that she's retired, she has plenty of time to catch up her sleep during the day.

She's preparing to fight a protracted war with me.

If this goes on, I'll go crazy first.

I think, why don't you consider Chen Zhi's idea?

- In his dream! - I didn't say you have to go for Chen Zhi.

There are other men in our department.

Who do you think can suit me?

What are you chatting about, you two beauties?

You're acting so secretive.

Dr. Xu!

I see that you've been working too hard.

Drink some cola to get energized.

Mainly, there's something that your help is needed.

I won't shirk from duty. Just say it!

Is there anything in our department you want me to move?

Xu Yi Ran, I want you to be my boyfriend.

This sip of cola is really energizing me.

- Really? - Fake.

Fake boyfriend. Okay?

I really sympathize with you on this problem, but I'm afraid I can't help you.

Why not, Dr. Xu? You wanted me to be your fake fiancee last time, I even helped you.

You hit it right on the nail.

Think about it!

Just a few days ago, I playacted in front of your mom

saying Lin Zhi is my fiancee.

However, merely two days have passed, I'm now Tang Hua's boyfriend.

Wouldn't your mom get a broom to sweep me out the door?

Why did I forget about this?

You can cheat for a moment but not forever.

I advise you to find a real boyfriend. It just might be easier than finding a fake one.

I can't worry about the forever.

All I want is to take care of the moment now.

Actually, if you really want a fake one, there is someone quite suitable.

Do you mean Chen Zhi?

Even as a fake one, I still don't want him; whenever I see him, I get annoyed.

Being annoyed is something else.

First of all, Chen Zhi is definitely willing to help you.

If you tell him to go east, he would never go west.

I still won't choose him.

Then you can only choose between Mama Lu and Bai Zhu.

You'd better just kill me.

I can't help you then.

Chen Zhi, I'll give you a chance.

Be my fake boyfriend!
