(Gen Z)

(Episode 9)

Tian Zhen,

call her family member.

Tell him to bring their child here to see her one last time.

Okay.

Professor Ren!

Holding onto me won't help you.

Master,

I just saw a dead person for the first time in my life.

What are you looking at?

You scared me.

You took the words out of my mouth!

I'm exhausted.

Besides giving patients diagnoses,

I have to stay on my toes because of you.

I'll bring the cops to you

when they're here.

Cheng Ying isn't dead.

Why did you lie to her?

You did great today.

When you first came in,

I thought you would run around,

shouting that she wasn't dead.

Am I that stupid to you?

Although I don't know why you're doing this,

I know we're on the same side.

I have to play my part well.

Don't you think so?

My master was right indeed.

Even a dense person can become intelligent.

That was respectable.

What do you mean by that?

Get me a cup of water.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

Professor Ren,

if they do arrest me,

can I entrust Jian Xi to you?

In my life,

there's no Ding Jian Xi.

She's your daughter.

Okay.

If so,

I'll apologise to them.

I'll kneel

and kowtow to them.

I'll give them all my money.

I'm fine with anything as long as they let me off

and let me take care of Jian Xi.

Why are you expecting them to let you off?

Cheng Ying bumped into your daughter, right?

She's dead, right?

What else can I do?

You're giving them all of your money?

How will you save your daughter by then?

As long as

she's alive,

I'll find a way to save her even if it means that I have to sell

my house, even my kidneys.

Don't do that. Please get up.

Professor Ren,

you're a benevolent person.

You have a benevolent mind and heart.

Can you take me and my daughter in?

I can do anything.

I was once an accountant.

I can work as an admin.

I can even be your janitor.

I'll do anything you ask me to do

as long as you take me and my daughter in.

You'll be imprisoned soon.

How could you work here?

Do you have any relatives?

If you do, you should contact them.

How will I deal with your daughter

after the cops arrest you?

Hurry and make your decision.

What should I do?

I'll be imprisoned soon!

If I die now,

I have no one to entrust my daughter to!

Cheng Ying isn't dead.

Get up.

She's not dead?

She's not dead.

I checked on her just now.

She's alive.

It's just that she's seriously ill.

She's not dead.

Really?

Really.

I get to decide whether she dies or not

when I'm around.

Professor Ren,

I'm begging you.

Please save her

on the account of my daughter.

Alright.

Get up.

Come.

Be careful.

Have some water.

Be careful.

Do you still hate her?

You felt pure joy after experiencing pure sadness.

How do you feel?

Let me ask you something.

Did you ever think about

joining your husband

when he departed from the world?

When one is dead,

nothing will be left.

Your source of hatred and grudge

will be gone.

What if you departed together with him?

What will Jian Xi do then?

Alright. You've already gotten through

the worst moment in your life.

Anger

makes slaves of people.

When you get angry,

you'll become your own slave.

We forgive people

to face

our conscience.

It's not like you've lost everything.

You still have Jian Xi,

right?

Have you found your tile?

Look at you. You have been spending all your energy

on trying to sue people, demanding money

and cursing them out.

What will Jian Xi do then?

I'll look for it.

I must save Jian Xi.

That's why you should spend your energy

on the things that matter.

When you were angry,

you forgot that Jian Xi was by your side.

What if Li Quan didn't save her?

What if the wheelchair fell?

Have you ever thought of the consequences?

Forgiving people means forgiving yourself.

You have to let go.

You must be starving.

Jian Xi hasn't eaten yet.

Yeah.

Jian Xi hasn't eaten yet.

"Aiding with the Best Medicine"

Mr Ren.

Something's up?

Yes.

I hope you can do me a favour.

Thank you for what you did today.

It was my job.

What is it? Tell me.

My parents want

to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival here with me.

Before this, I told them that...

Stop hesitating.

Speak up.

Before this, I told them

that I already found a job.

So,

can you tell them that I'm working here

if you see them?

Can you tell them I'm a staff here?

Why would our medical centre even hire staff in the first place?

I know that's not the case.

But can you tell them that?

You want me to lie to them?

Listen.

I never lie.

And, I will never lie for your sake.

Once you lie, you need to lie ten times

to cover up your first lie.

If you wish to obtain something,

you must strive to obtain it.

Do not rely on expediency.

Understood?

Sorry for being late.

I couldn't recognise you in this outfit.

What kind of outfit is this?

I don't like the smell of kitchen fumes.

Sorry then, Ms Yang.

You haven't ordered any food yet, right?

Listen,

the roasted kidneys here

are amazing.

I... I forgot.

You're a vegetarian.

Their roasted chives and mushrooms

are great too.

Don't order food for me.

I waited until now

to reject you directly.

The tuition class between us

is over.

Okay? Let's go on our separate ways.

What are you doing?

Return my bag to me.

You can keep this bag

with me first.

I'll return it to you once the tuition class is over.

-You! -Madam!

Give us ten roasted lamb skewers,

ten roasted kidney skewers,

one roasted mushroom skewer and one roasted chives skewer.

-Just like the usual. -Alright.

Didn't I tell you already?

I'm not eating. Don't order anything for me.

I don't take junk food.

I ordered them for myself.

Delicious.

It's a shame that you're not trying them.

Let me tell you this.

I came here today

because I thought it was closer to your hospital.

But it won't happen again.

Yeah, yeah.

But according to my limited life experience,

only bars and roasted skewer stalls

are still open at this hour.

Bars are too loud.

I don't think we can hold our tuition class there.

Can't you change it to another time then?

I'm having tuition classes during my night shifts

so that I can head to the medical centre during my rest days.

Alright.

Let's begin.

You're taking

something this oily and salty at night.

Your lifestyle is so unhealthy.

Just finish your yogurt and be done with your preaching.

You're a doctor, you know?

I study Western medicine.

However, I'm giving you tuition regarding TCM.

TCM focuses on wellness.

Focusing on one's wellness should be prioritized above treating illnesses.

So, according to your TCM theories,

at this time, you should leave your phone in the living room

and lie on the bed, right?

You're staying up to teach me about TCM.

I can only repay you

with such a method.

For this chapter,

we focus on

the relationship between one's nature, heart, and body.

According to Mr Ren,

even if we do retain our fitness,

we're only 10% there.

The other 40% comes from

the health of one's mentality.

And, the one leading our health is the health of our nature.

Look.

I'm right, aren't I?

TCM and Western medicine are finally coming together.

One's diet isn't important at all.

If I do die early, it must be due to a lack of sexual activities.

That wasn't what I was referring to.

It means disposition

and spirituality.

It's an element that's above one's heart.

It's the inner core of life.

According to Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic,

somatic and spiritual harmony are of utmost importance.

A healthy body

requires a fit physical body

and a healthy state of mind.

We should be tranquil

and have a sound mind.

That's what I meant by nature.

Our teacher said this during our class.

Language represents the evolution of thoughts.

What were you thinking about?

I'm just here to give you a tuition.

Fine. Seems like you're done with studying anyway.

-It's over. -You're angry now?

You're a lawyer, right?

You're studying TCM too.

Being emotional is detrimental to us.

You cannot be emotional when you're in the court.

When it comes to studying TCM,

we need to be indifferent when we're happy, angry, sad, or joyful.

Only then, we can retain our hearts.

What do you think? I did do my homework.

I'm not angry.

I just want to head back and take my beauty sleep.

Alright.

I apologise to you sincerely.

You're both a great teacher and a great student.

It was tough for you to teach me.

I'm sorry.

I'm not a good student.

If I were one, I wouldn't need to study TCM.

But why?

I learned many things in the past.

I excelled in all of them.

But even now, I still don't understand

the meaning of life.

In the past, I strove to improve myself

to make my mother happy.

I worked hard to make money

so that I could sustain her life.

But after her passing,

I suddenly realised

that making money and improving myself

were pointless.

Do you know something?

Some time ago,

the opposing lawyer of a lawsuit

fell unconscious in front of me.

He died just like that.

After that, I thought about all the law articles I learned.

Why did I learn them in the first place?

Mr Ren was right.

Even if you're knowledgeable, that doesn't mean you're cultured.

We transform people through culture.

Forget about transforming other people.

I can't even transform myself.

You're transforming me right now.

I'm not that capable.

You're a stubborn soul.

You're taking junk food in the middle of the night.

I have a good nature.

I'm broad-minded.

I don't take things too seriously.

That's the root of good health.

Broad-minded, huh?

Explain why you came to cause trouble for our class

and got into a fight with a patient's family member.

Why do you know all of my secrets?

How did you know that I was a spy?

It wasn't a secret at all.

Mr Ren knew it from the day you joined us.

You were scrolling your phone during class.

And, you kept causing arguments.

I'll be honest with you.

I only came here to give you tuition

because of Mr Ren.

If not, do you think

I'll waste my time with you here?

Mr Ren knew about it?

Of course.

If so, why did he still send you here?

Mr Ren

has placed himself and his lesson

on a microscope for you to see.

Western medicine focuses on the patient's illness

while TCM focuses on the sick person.

You can cause an argument

and create trouble all you want.

But Mr Ren intends

to cure you of your rowdy nature.

Madam,

get me another bottle of yogurt.

-Okay. -Get me a sugar-free yogurt.

Coming.

What are you doing here? Did you tail me?

You...

You know how to ride skateboards?

I know plenty of things.

Ren Tian Zhen.

This is pretty cool.

I want to learn this too.

You want to learn how to ride skateboards?

Yeah.

-Really? -Yeah.

But I don't feel like teaching you.

If you don't teach me,

I'll tell your parents

and grandparents

that you're playing with something as dangerous as this.

It's very dangerous.

It's lethal and dangerous.

I'll tell them right away.

Are you a primary school student?

You want to complain to your teacher now?

Go ahead then. You'll be exposed for joining me too.

That's fine.

I'm parentless anyway.

No one is keeping me in check.

But it's different for someone else.

You're their beloved baby.

Your grandparents will surely nag you

after they find out.

You have to stand there and endure their nagging

without talking back.

If Meng Meng sees that,

-Stop! -as a man...

Stop.

I'll teach you.

But you have to swear.

Only you and I know about this.

Never tell a single soul about this.

I swear I'll never tell a single soul.

If you break your promise,

may you starve for the rest of your life.

That's pretty brutal.

I promise. When will you teach me?

Meng Meng's medicine is ready, right?

What medicine?

Oh no!

Remember to teach me next time!

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Hello, Madam.

-Hello. -Madam,

I'm here to pick up my parcel.

I'm Xiao Ming from Dorm 312.

312, Xiao Ming.

312, Xiao Ming.

Here.

-Thank you, Madam. -You're welcome.

Hello, Madam.

Hello.

What's the matter?

I guess

we have another power outage.

What's going on?

What's going on?

The power tripped again?

We have another power outage?

Sorry about that.

Open the door!

Hide! Hurry up!

Why did the power trip again?

Coming.

Coming.

You must've used something that you were not supposed to.

I knew it.

Didn't I say that you couldn't bring this here?

You were actually cooking dumplings here?

Sorry, Madam. I was starving.

I won't do it again.

I'll never do it again.

-Okay? -How many times have I told you?

Yes, Madam.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Madam.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

You were chased out?

Where are you staying then?

I found a cheap place online.

One day costs around 30 to 40 yuan.

Can you take a bath there?

Take a bath?

I'm lucky enough to find a place to stay.

It's easy for you to make remarks when you're on the sideline.

I'll find a place for you.

See?

When you want to sleep, just bring this bed to the storeroom.

This is inappropriate.

What's inappropriate about it?

I'll be here for you if you get into trouble.

Besides, you're truly stubborn.

If I were you, I would try to be a medical assistant here

and survive first.

You and I are different.

Say, if I do work in this medical centre

like my other seniors,

even if I do get my own consultation office after ten years,

do you think people will seek my service after that?

In this industry,

value comes with age.

You're different.

You had a silver-spoon upbringing.

You grew up in an esteemed family.

No matter which mentor you get,

they're the cream of the crop.

But me?

I can only say this for myself.

If one of the mentors takes a liking to me,

and if I learn under him,

maybe I can be independent after five years.

Tell me then.

What will I do

if I don't depend on the medical centre?

Free opportunities for people to learn under a mentor

were created for people like me, you know?

These are the keys to the medical centre.

Just remember

to bring the bed back and hide it here

before work hours.

Got it.

You don't intend to thank me?

Thank you so much.

You're too courteous.

Why did you transfer money to me again?

I made some pocket money when I joined Grandpa

in his consultations.

Of course I need to share good things with my buddy.

Your grandfather actually split the money with you?

Nope. It's all mine.

We had a promise.

He'll work for me as long as

I'm willing to join him in his consultations.

If so, I won't stand on ceremony then.

There's no need to stand on ceremony.

Mr Ren.

What are you two doing here?

We're here on cleaning duties.

So, you don't need tools for that?

We'll get them at once.

-Mr Wu. -Mr Wu.

Kid.

How did it go?

You must've received the invitation by now.

I received it yesterday.

Fellow Zhang will be the honorary chairman this year.

You will be our main speaker.

I still want Huang Wei to be our speaker.

You should give the younger generations a chance.

Which student do you intend to bring with you?

Tian Zhen, Li Quan,

and Sun Tou Tou.

Sun Tou Tou?

Do you think someone will take her in?

Were you referring to Sun Tou Tou?

Sun Tou Tou

is the successor of the Jiang family's acupuncture sect after all.

She already assumed her position.

She has to go there no matter what.

I'm just worried that she might bring disgrace to TCM Acupuncture.

This is TCM Acupuncture's first appearance.

Just look at her primitive behaviour.

What do you think people will say about you

and TCM Acupuncture?

That's their business.

It's her business whether she can become

a worthy successor or not.

It's my business

whether I bring her there or not.

We all have our parts to do.

You're making it too simple here.

You can afford to take it lightly since you don't have any position.

Now, I'm attending the forum

as the academy's principal.

But you?

You're trying to link my academy

with your so-called students,

which have complicated backgrounds.

What do you think people will say about our industry as a whole?

Besides, you shouldn't forget.

I'm holding on to this position for your sake.

You have to consider my feelings.

That's your business.

But...

I'm sure it's everyone's business to maintain our reputation, right?

Reputation, huh?

Meng Meng,

sesame seeds

are good for injuries and deficiencies. It also nourishes the five viscera.

Try it.

It's nice, right?

This is for Wu Jun.

He has to get twice the dosage.

Ms Xia?

So,

Jian Xi's follow-up visit

is in two days, right?

What are you guys doing here today?

Not only will we come today,

but we'll also come here every day.

What do you mean?

Ms Xia, listen.

Sometimes, you need to let go.

Calm down.

I'm not here to stir up trouble.

I'm here to help.

I told Professor Ren

that I worked as an accountant before.

From today onward,

I will work as a volunteer here.

Today's my first day of work.

Really?

I never heard about that.

Weren't you here too back then?

If so, have you stopped looking for the tiles?

Of course not.

I've already hired someone to inquire about them for me.

I'll depart immediately once I receive any news.

By then, I will leave Jian Xi...

-No problem. -Meng Meng.

Meng Meng.

Meng Meng.

It'll be fine. Go now.

Come here.

Meng Meng.

Meng Meng, come here.

I'm not here to fight today.

I must've scared you guys back then.

Not at all.

Not at all.

Go now. It'll be fine.

I'm not here to fight.

Everything's fine.

Don't be scared.

Zhu Xia, you're here?

Dr Song.

Who's afraid?

Listen.

That's right.

This ledger contains this month's records.

Take it.

Take a close look.

Yes. Meng Meng loves to draw.

Familiarize yourself with our accounts.

I'll leave this to you then.

Now that I'm here, you don't need to worry.

Jian Xi.

Dr Song.

Say,

she did change a lot.

This is amazing.

Your master is amazing, right?

He's pretty amazing.

Meng Meng, that looked great.

(Plantable grains)

(lose their effectiveness after this season.)

(This solar term)

(is the time when the South plants grains and the North harvests wheat.)

(Grain in Ear)

TCM is the manifestation of the term "technique and integrity".

However, without integrity, you can't make it far with technique alone.

Even if you have excellent medical skills,

without harmony between nature and men

and a broad philosophical view,

you won't be able to understand

the meaning of "integrity" when it comes to medical skills.

That's the difference between TCM and Western medicine.

In my opinion,

Western medicine will develop into a detailed

and meticulous field.

As for TCM,

it should develop in a broader direction.

For our lesson today,

we'll talk about

the largest disharmony in humans.

What is it?

It's disharmony between humans.

Everyone,

do you know who's the star of

our TCM industrial park?

Who?

It's Ren Xin Zheng.

Professor Ren?

He's pretty famous.

What? Is he here?

We are friends for many years.

Now, he's hosting a class at my place.

He's the representative figure of our industrial park.

He's hosting a class?

We plan to build

a first-class national

TCM talent training centre.

Right now, the projects that occupy most of your land here

aren't in the direction we're investing in.

They lack Internet thinking.

Besides,

building a school

was a great way to develop one's land in the last century.

But to put it bluntly,

it'll take a long time

before we can gain profit from it.

Great minds think alike indeed.

We're implementing Internet thinking.

The class is free.

We attract talents first.

We've invited many renowned figures

to teach here.

Once news of this gets out,

those who wish

to join the TCM industry

have to join us

before they can establish a foothold in the industry.

We can brag about this shamelessly.

This is

a business academy for TCM.

Other business academies

earn hundreds of thousands easily.

But your academy is offering classes for free.

How could you compare yourself to them?

When we're emotional,

when we have hatred in our hearts,

when we're frustrated, what do you think we should do?

Do you think you'll be fine

after getting surgery and taking medicine?

Obviously, that won't work.

What should we do then?

According to the Doctrine of the Mean,

when joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure have not yet arisen,

it is called "moderate".

But guys,

we, humans, aren't

deities in temples.

When we have anger,

we must vent it out.

Here comes the latter part of the saying.

When they arise to their appropriate levels, it is called "harmony".

We already know

that our emotions have deviated from the central path.

What should we do when it has already harmed our bodies?

There's still a way

we can regulate our bodies.

Next, we'll talk about

how to regulate our unstable emotions.

The Chinese culture relies on practice.

Integrity needs practice.

Morality needs to be instilled.

If language does not transform one,

there will be no culture.

So, what do we transform?

What do we transform?

Guys, what do we transform?

We transform our negative emotions.

If someone has negative emotions,

you must transform them with your actions.

Avoiding and procrastinating

will harm your body severely.

I think there's an issue

with your mindset.

I agree with Mr Liu.

We have to attract traffic first.

After that,

you can continue with the Internet thinking.

We'll earn money from the surrounding businesses.

The trading of herbs,

online prescriptions,

and the recommendation between TCM and Western medicine,

all of these will make huge money.

The largest benefit of this academy

is that

it'll produce batches and batches of new talents.

That's right.

This is a great concept.

If we organise it,

it'll be a complete proposal.

The most valuable assets in the TCM industry

-are its people. -That's right.

As long as he's here,

your industrial park

will thrive.

That's right.

There's one more important point.

We cannot talk about the profit model first.

Only small projects

talk about their profit model at the start.

We have to talk about visions and dreams.

Just like Elon Musk.

He talked about migrating to Mars after he assumed his position.

A world without borders.

He made all those tycoons

excited.

When it comes to talking about dreams,

Mr Liu, you're not the right fit.

Think about it.

When you stand here,

people will definitely think

that the culture of your enterprise

only focuses on profit,

not dreams.

Professor Ren is a great fit.

If he comes to talk about his dreams,

everyone in the world will be convinced.

What about this?

We have a peer advisory board meeting next month.

You can invite Professor Ren

to tell us

about the vision of TCM development.

As for the rest, we'll package them.

This feels especially out of place.

It's decided then.

Let's go.

Hello, Professor Ren?

Today was supposed to be your follow-up visit.

I'm already done with my class.

Why haven't you arrived yet?

Actually, I was there.

(I was at the classroom's door.)

(I heard your lesson about emotion.)

(I was suddenly enlightened.)

(It feels like all of my troubles has been lifted.)

I feel like I'm cured.

Congratulations then.

Thank you, Professor Ren.

Grandson!

I'm here!

Where's the skateboard?

Wait, where's the skateboard?

You brought nothing?

What? Are we here to eat?

Today,

you shall acknowledge me as your master first.

What's wrong with you guys?

Why do you guys like

such ceremonies so much?

Do you like it that much

when people address you as Master?

You're so childish.

If you wish to travel the pugilist world,

you must get a famous master.

Since I've already agreed to teach you,

we need to make this official.

If not, what if you...

If I do embarrass myself out there,

I won't rat you out, okay?

Deal.

Deal.

Alright.

You're so troublesome.

What are you doing?

We have to be particular with the ceremony.

Look.

This is an excellent wine that my grandfather has kept for a long time.

It's definitely good.

What do you think?

Don't you think I'm nice?

I'm sure this has a huge kick then.

Of course.

You can stop craving for it.

Go ahead.

Rebecca.

Rebecca,

I don't think it's appropriate

for us to just drink yogurt

without ordering any food here.

Can you please focus?

My time is expensive.

You kept playing with those threads.

How can I focus like this?

I'm done.

Does this shirt cost tens of thousands as well

when it looks this cheap?

I ordered this from Taobao.

It's meant for people to wear to food stalls.

It costs 55 yuan

from top to bottom. And, it's disposable.

By the way,

it's 80 yuan if you include

this disposable bottle as well.

What? You use Taobao too?

I had no choice. You forced me to do it.

That's pretty good.

Share the link with me later.

By the way, I have something to tell you.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a public holiday.

Our tuition class

will be suspended for the time being.

But why?

Are you going on a trip?

I'm going to join the TCM forum.

But your name wasn't included

in the name list.

Besides, people won't invite

half-baked physicians like us.

This time,

I'm going there because the organiser invited me.

What gives? Why didn't he invite me then?

The organiser is an

old client of mine.

I'm going there to visit him mainly.

I'm just joining the forum since I'll be there anyway.

I think you're just going there to join the forum.

Take me with you.

A spy like me

needs to head to the enemy's nest to eradicate them once and for all.

Take me with you.

You're a renowned figure.

You need to have a servant beside you.

Besides,

the mountain path is rugged and uneven.

I checked the schedule too.

We have to gather mugwort

in the mountains before dawn on the second day.

I'm sure you'll depart at night.

What if you encounter a bear

or a robber? It'll be dangerous.

Most importantly,

it's a long journey.

You need a second driver somehow.
