Mr Liu,

it is normal and very positive

for young people to pursue their dreams.

But if you want to hide

and obtain this certificate
just because of that,

I don't think it's worth it.

Look at

how hard he's practising dancing now,

there's a good chance he will win
awards, and even become a champion.

Once this kind of thing is uncovered,

so many eyes will be on him,

criticizing him.

It will be too late to regret it then.

You know what will happen?
It will ruin his public image.

It's very serious.

Liu,

Tou Tou made a very good point.

Tou Tou,

I'm really impressed.

Liu, sit down.

Let's do what Tou Tou said, okay?

I know you have helped me a lot.

I will find another way to repay you,

but I can't do

what you asked of me today.

Because this concerns
your child's entire life.

We need to proceed with caution.

Don't you think so?

You are right, Professor.

I will listen to you.

What about me?

I said a lot just now.

I...

You were right too.

Let's be clear.

You chose this path,

so you'd better see it through the end.

Don't worry about it, Dad.

Well, I guess it's settled then.

I heard that Ms Dong is practising
in your clinic.

You know that I have issues
with my neck and lumbar spine.

Could you please introduce me to her?

It's my duty to help.

-Okay.
-I'll take you there right now.

-Thank you.
-All right.

He's really worrying.

Yes, yes,

but we can't just leave him be.

You're wearing so many clothes.

Aren't you feeling uncomfortably hot?

-So old-fashioned.
-What did you say?

Little brat.

You are so smug.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Anyone there?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

My baby...

-Your water broke.
-My baby...

You're going into labour.

Hold on. You need to relax.
Come, come.

Stretch your legs out. Relax.

Listen to me, do as I say.

I'm here. You will be fine.

It's you!

Oh, my God!

I can't believe I would even run
into a jinx like you in the cemetery.

Don't touch me!

(Qibo Medical Centre)

When I ignored you,

you flourished.

Now that I'm taking such
meticulous care of you every day.

Yet how did you end up
looking like this?

Did you see my phone?

-Pardon me?
-My phone?

I didn't see it.

Master.

What's the matter?

Jian Xi is here.

Cursing me now won't help you, you know?

Your baby is
the most important thing now.

You hear me? It's your baby.

Trust me.

I'm a doctor.

Straighten your legs.

Oh, God.

I'm not going to die here, am I?

You won't die. You're just giving birth.

Our whole family

is going to die in your hands.

-Come.
-No...

You mustn't get agitated.

You have to conserve your strength,
you hear me?

You have to conserve your strength
to push, okay?

I'm calling an ambulance
for you now, okay?

Hang in there, you hear me?

No.

Even if you call an ambulance,

we're deep in the mountains,

by the time the ambulance arrives,
I'll be dead already.

Touch wood. You won't die.

Hang in there.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Is this the first aid centre?

I'm at Mushan Cemetery.

I'm on a path.

A woman is going into labour here.

Can you guys come now?

Don't leave.

Don't go. Save my baby.

-I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving.
-Save my baby!

Hold on. I need to find a landmark.

Hello? There is no landmark here.

Can you come right now?

It's an emergency.

Okay, okay.

What's wrong?

I'm feeling...

I'm feeling...

I'm feeling that he's coming out.

Hang on.

He's coming out.

Here. Sit here.

Relax.

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Chen Hui, hang in there. Chen Hui!

I can't.

I'm here. Don't worry.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

Jian Xi,

why have you lost so much weight?

Didn't she take the medicine
prescribed last time?

She did.

It has no effect at all.

Now she eats even less.

Lately, she won't even
take a bite of food.

Could her injury have caused
some other illness?

How about this? You guys go out first.

I'd like a moment alone with Jian Xi.

Professor Ren,

what's wrong with Jian Xi?

Is it serious?

I think

she's fine.

How can she be fine?

She won't even

eat now.

Just tell me the truth.

I can handle it.

You need to trust Professor Ren.

If he says it's nothing serious,

then there shouldn't be any problem.

Let's step outside for a moment, okay?

Plus,

Jian Xi will feel nervous

with you here.

Come.

Come.

Let me read your pulse.

Mr Ren. Mr Ren.

Please pick up the phone, Mr Ren!

Oh, no.

My battery is running out.

Chen Hui, where is your phone?
Give me your phone.

Forget about me.

Tear it open for me.

Protect my baby.

Tear it open for me.

The ambulance... When will

the ambulance arrive?

-When?
-An hour.

No, no, 40 minutes.

An hour?

40 minutes.

-40 minutes?
-Yes, yes.

I've also called
the village doctor here.

It's okay. He'll be here soon.
Hang in there.

I'll be dead already.

You won't.

My baby will also be dead already.

We will both die here.

Mr Ren.

No.

I have to go see him.

Tear it open for me.

Take my baby out.

Save him.

If it's a boy,

name him...

Name him Kong Nian Yuan.

If it's a girl, name her Kong Ai Yuan.

-Can you remember it?
-Okay, okay. I got it.

-Can you remember it?
-I got it.

You will be fine, Chen Hui.

Hang in there!

Chen Hui, hang in there!
Don't...

When will the ambulance get here?

You killed my husband.

Why...

Why didn't you save him?

(You must cherish)

(your time here.)

Don't wait until you encounter patients

or unexpected events

and find yourself helpless,

only then you regret for

not having learned

a useful skill here.

I'm the devil. Look at me, Chen Hui.

I'm the devil.

So, you have to hang in there.

You haven't settled
the score with me yet.

You have to come after me, you know?

You have to stay alive.

Do you hear me, Chen Hui?

-Chen Hui?
-Help me.

I'll help you, I will.

Stay with me, Chen Hui.

Chen Hui, hang in there! Chen Hui!

Your pulse is weak,

but it isn't a big issue.

Be honest with me,

have you

stopped eating?

There is no such thing as using tiles
as medicine, is there?

I'll never be able to walk again,

will I?

You've been lying to me,

haven't you?

Chen Hui.

Chen Hui, listen to me,

the ambulance is on its way,

but we can't wait anymore.

I will help you deliver, okay?

Just do as I say.

We will push together.

You and your baby will be fine,

okay? Trust me.

Save my baby.

My baby...

Your baby is in an incorrect position.

He is not head-down.

What should I do?

Save my baby first.

You have to save my baby first.

I... I'm going

to reach in now

and try to...

Try to turn the baby's head downward.

He will be fine. He will be fine, okay?

Trust me. He will be fine.

Hang in there.
I'm about to reach the baby's head.

I reached it.

Hang in there, Chen Hui.

Hang in there.

Can you feel my hand?

-Yes.
-Relax now.

Okay. It's okay now.

Chen Hui,

now listen to my instructions.

I will count to three,

and then you push.

Push with all your strength.

Come on. One, two, three.

Push!

Okay. Try again.

Can you push again?

I can't.

I can't push anymore.

-You can do it, Chen Hui.
-I can't.

You can do it, Chen Hui.
We are almost there.

You have to hang in there, Chen Hui.

Let's try to push again, okay?

Let's try it again.

One, two, three!

Push!

Jian Xi, I'll be honest with you.

I have never encountered

this particular medical case before.

However, there are records
in ancient books

and even in my master's

secret teachings.

If we consider TCM
as an experiential medicine,

it means that there were

successful treatments
for this case in the past.

Your condition is severe.

It will take time to recover.

Look, we all care about you

and support you.

Your mother hasn't given up on trying

every possible treatment for you.

If you give up on yourself,

then there truly is no hope left.

You see, throughout my journey,

I have been following the methods
of the ancient sages

to treat illnesses and save lives.

My faith in them

tells me that

the ancients were right
about many things.

And you...

How about this?

Give me some time.

Give yourself some time.

Let's work hard on this together.

What do you say?

What if it doesn't work?

What if we can't find the tiles?

What if we find the tiles
but it still doesn't work?

Will I be trapped in a wheelchair
for the rest of my life?

Jian Xi, you need to understand

that your life is not just yours alone.

You have your mother,

Professor Song,

and me.

If we try and succeed,

each of us will gain strength

in our hearts.

It would be a shame

to give up without trying,

wouldn't it?

But what if it doesn't work?

If it doesn't work,

whatever you decide to do,

I won't stop you.

Fine.

I'll give it one last try.

If it doesn't work,

whatever I want to do,
you can't stop me.

Okay.

It's a boy.

Look.

-Good job.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Good job.

Thank you.

Chen Hui?

Chen Hui, hang in there.

Don't sleep, Chen Hui.

Chen Hui,

-hang in there.
-Anyone here?

Where are you?

Anyone here?

Anyone here?

We are here!

-There is someone there.
-We are here!

(Ling Lan)

Professor Ren,

you are right.

As long as we have faith,

we can create miracle.

The other day,

I saw a news report on TV.

It was about a paralysed patient
with high-level spinal cord injury

who managed to stand up

thanks to a massage technique.

Jian Xi,

you have to believe in me,

believe in Professor Ren.

I mean,

there are so many methods in this world,

right?

Even if the tiles don't work,

that's okay.

As long as there is...

There is even just
a glimmer of possibility,

I will put in my utmost effort.

You will stand up.

Mr Ren.

Mr Ren, hurry.

It's Ms Yang's call.

What's so urgent?

She has called you many times.

Hello?

Hello?

Master...

Master, I've learned it.

What?

I've learned the lesson of life.

I've learned, Master.

Thank you.

Jian Xi,

I hope

that you would have faith like we do.

Let's work together

to fight against

the illness.

We can't let it defeat us.

Ms Yang and Chen Hui

sure have an interesting relationship.

Speaking of which,

Yang Xiao Hong's operation

stepped on the line today.

You have to lecture her.

They called me
after they arrived at the hospital.

I have already reprimanded them.

It's not allowed

to perform medical procedures

without a professional present.

Even though it was an accident,
there won't be a next time.

It will never happen again
in this lifetime.

Life truly is a miracle.

Are you donating this set too?

Yes.

These...

We bought this with money.

It cost quite a bit.

Can't we keep them for our grandson?

In pursuit of knowledge,
every day something is added.

In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.

I'm dropping more and more

for the sake of Tao now.

I'm donating these books to students

who are pursuing knowledge.

Isn't it a great thing?

Yes.

Then, why is it always me

who suffers while you drop things?

You want to donate these,

and I'm the one who is
helping you pack them up.

When you were pursuing knowledge,

I was the one who carried your
books back and organized them for you.

That's why people say

the most profound embodiment
of Yin and Yang

can be witnessed
within a married couple.

Once I achieve enlightenment,

I'll take you to ascend to heaven.

Do you think I'm just an ordinary being?

You're even worse than
an ordinary being.

You never listen.

No, no.

You are different from
an ordinary being.

I listen to you.

Scram.

Give it to me.

-Did I injure you?
-You broke my arm.

Stop acting.

All right now.

Stop sighing.

This is life.

Seasons change,

it's the norm.

If people listen to you,
then there would be no one working.

Do you know

how many things need to be done
during the Spring Festival?

Spring cleaning takes two to three days,

preparing food and shopping
takes three to five days.

We need to to prepare gifts
and red envelopes

for relatives and children.

We also need to visit
teachers and friends.

Speaking of which,

what are you going to do

about the girls

for this year's Spring Festival?

Your son has talked about that.

He said Meng Meng's parents

are planning to take her abroad

to visit museums

and amusement parks.

Tou Tou

doesn't have parents or a home,

so her master

is her family.

Let's consider

Tou Tou as our second child.

The problem is I can't.

Tou Tou has been doing well lately.

She used to cause trouble for you,

but now she is helping you
with the chores.

Yes, I admit that

she has made
significant progress recently,

but she had accumulated
too many negative points before.

Even with great progress,

she hasn't fully redeemed herself yet.

It's only you

who can consider everyone as one family.

I don't have that kind of mindset.

I fight alone

and do the work by myself.

I really wish one day

I could let go of all responsibilities,

relax,

take leave,

and have some rest.

All right,

you can take time off
this Spring Festival.

I'll take care of everything.

You?

Did the sun rise from...

The west today?

Don't move.

Don't move. Just stay there.

Ling Lan?

How did you fall?

I'm fine. Mum, I'm greeting you.

Be careful.
The steps are covered in water.

Come, slowly.

Are you okay?

Move around.

My butt hurts.

I'm fine, I'm okay.

-Unbelievable.
-Fortunately, I cultivate everyday.

Turns out that
it was all for this moment.

Did you order Xin Zheng
to mop the floor?

-I didn't.
-You just brought trouble to yourself.

Xin Zheng, put the mop down.

Go and read in the study.

No, Mum.

He rarely takes the initiative
to do household chores.

Mr Ren,

keep up the good work.

If you can

occasionally help with household chores,

I don't mind falling a few more times.

Don't say that.

I'm really fine.
It's just that my butt hurts.

-Stop talking nonsense.
-By the way,

I mean,

do you see

the mop bucket in the yard?

Yes. It's right there.

Right. You need to put this mop

on that bucket.

And press it like this.

Drain the water first

-Yes, yes.
-before you mop the floor.

-Are you sure you are okay?
-Yes, yes.

Look. Look.

You are jumping? Stop it.

I really am fine.

Thank you.

I have been

to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage.

When Du Fu wrote

"The wind howled in rage
in the eighth month during autumn,

blowing off the thatch on my roof",

he was hiding in that shed
writing poetry

while his wife was pressing thatch

on the roof with a wooden stick.

Looks like those
astonishing achievements in history

are often created by those
who don't do physical labour.

And now, history has

astonishingly reappeared.

My first pupil,

you were born with such great talent,

and it's not meant for menial tasks
like mopping the floor.

-What's wrong?
-Who did this?

What's wrong, Mum?

These are two different fillings.

Who mixed them together?

-What's wrong, Mum?
-This...

Did you do this?

Yes.

Mum, here's what happened.
When I entered the kitchen just now,

there were bowls all over the place.

It looked messy,

so I decided to mix them together.

You know,

Tian Zhen doesn't eat shrimp.

I have to make dumplings

with two different fillings.

Mum,

it's not like he's allergic to shrimp.

I think this is good.

-You see...
-No, it isn't.

I spent the whole morning

to make them.

Why not let men take care
of the external affairs,

while the women
handle the domestic ones?

You had to ask him to mop the floor
and do these chores.

Xin Zheng,

go and read a book.

You,

go and mop the floor.

Yes, Mum.

-Don't be mad, Mum.
-Just go.

Go. Give me the gloves. Give them to me.

What should I do now?

(As Serene and Elegant As An Orchid)

I'm wiping stuff.

No need to raise your legs.

Why do you keep sighing?

Did you hurt your thoracic spine?

Want me to examine you?

I'm fine.

No need.

If you really don't want to do it,
I will do it.

You can instruct me

on the side.

Please don't.

If I let you do the chores,

it's going to cause
an earthquake in our house.

Then, let Tian Zhen and Tou Tou
do it when they come home.

They are studying.

We mustn't disturb them.

You see,

you are sighing again.

No wonder they say

the way of a noble man

starts with the handling of a marriage.

Looks like you are about to
drop some wisdom, my wife.

You see,

a person

either becomes a monk

or gets married,

especially women.

You see,

in marriage

and in being a bride,

the character "woman"
is always present, right?

Tell me more. What do you mean?

What I mean is,

look at me,

I can take care of external matters

and manage the household.

I'm such an outstanding person.

If I didn't have a marriage

to challenge me,

then my life

would have been uneventful.

No, that wouldn't be enjoyable at all.

That's why

I have you

and our son.

You make me unwilling
to let go or move on.

I can't get angry
or upset easily either.

You see, you see,

God really goes

to great lengths to help me improve.

You're the one
who creates problems for yourself.

What did our son and I do to offend you?

Take cleaning for example.

What's the difference

between cleaning once a year

and cleaning every day?

As there is nothing from the first,

where does the dust itself collect?

Mr Ren,

you have a mind free from dust,

so you see no dust.

I can't do it.

I don't have your
level of enlightenment.

You can put on socks

and fall asleep immediately.

I really want to ask you.

How do you do it?

When you meditate,

your mind is free from distractions.

When I meditate, my mind
is filled with distractions.

You see,

daily necessities,

prescription inspection,

our parents and child,

food and clothing.

Sometimes, I wonder

how a person's heart

can hold so many things.

It's remarkable.

A person won't have to think

about anything when he dies.

Is that how you want
to keep this conversation going?

So, according to what you're saying,

the only thing I can
look forward to is death, huh?

Mind your tongue.

Tian Zhen,

your dad will foot the bill
for this year's Spring Festival goods.

Okay!

Yes!

Tou Tou, come.

See what you want to buy.

Since your dad is paying,

can we double the snacks?

Of course.

I will order them.

Tou Tou,

is this enough?

I think it's just about enough.

We can buy the rest in the supermarket.

Okay. I'm going to show this to my mum.

I'll tidy up the place first.
Then, I'll clean the study, too.

Then, we'll go together.

Okay.

I will get going first. Hurry up.

I don't understand.

You don't understand what?

Why are you lying to Jian Xi?

Why?

I saw it.

There isn't any

miraculous remedy
or folk remedy in this notebook.

It's just a notebook
for keeping accounts.

Why are you lying to them?

Their lives are miserable enough.

Integrity is what the way
of nature requires.

Acting with integrity is the way
to achieve self-refinement.

Weren't these your words?

One should not lie,

especially someone studying TCM.

Wasn't that also what you said?

Yet you are lying

to people now.

Why?

Tell me, why?

Why are you lying to Jian Xi?

You're killing me here. Tell me already!

Tou Tou,

what is a doctor?

The most important thing for a doctor

is compassion.

(Compassion)

Heaven has the virtue of nurturing life.

I believe that the ancient sages

would not punish me

for wholeheartedly
attending to my patients.

If there were truly
any punishments for me,

as long as it means that

Jian Xi,

her mother,

and Cheng Ying

can escape this calamity,

I would accept it.

Actually, when I told this big lie,

it wasn't just for one person,

but for the lives of a group of people.

Lives, you know?

Doctor.

They call me a doctor.

I should bear

some responsibility for them,

especially since they even

paid for the consultation.

She didn't pay any consultation fee.

It's you who paid them a salary.

Most of them have paid
the consultation fee.

Jian Xi's mother

hasn't even started working yet.

No, that's not
what I want to talk about.

I'm asking you
why you're lying to them.

Tou Tou,

do you know how much Jian Xi weighs now?

No.

She's losing weights.

She probably weighs no more than 40kg.

Apart from her legs
not being able to move,

she is fine in other aspects.

If I were to tell her now

that her illness could not be cured,

I'm sure

she wouldn't want to live anymore.

And if she doesn't want to live,

her mother definitely

won't want to live either.

How would Cheng Ying

live her life then?

Even so,

we can't keep lying to her forever.

Sometimes, I keep pondering

about the purpose of

a doctor's existence.

How much help

can we really provide to patients?

Sometimes, it's just
a lack of faith in oneself.

If we have faith,

everything should turn out fine.

I constantly think to myself,

if I say that I am a good doctor,

I must strive in that direction.

If I say that you are a good doctor

and you don't believe it,

you will definitely
not pursue that path.

Technology is advancing
rapidly these days.

Who knows, in another year

or two,

there might be a breakthrough.

Tou Tou, you don't know this,
but sometimes I think,

if we could implant a chip

into the brain,

if it could

control the limbs...

It would be enough
if it could keep one alive.

Are you a practitioner
of TCM or Western medicine?

How come you are talking about
chips and science?

Regardless of TCM or Western medicine,

we should all have faith.

Whatever power can help people,

as long as it can help people,

we should make use of it

to help the world,

to love.

I understand.

It's not just about understanding,
you should also put it into action.

Can you promise

not to slip up in front of
Jian Xi and her mother?

I... I...

This is challenging for me.

You know me, how can I keep a...

No, no.

About this,

I can't act...

There is a solution.

There is one thing
you can do to help me.

Put one yuan into

my piggy bank.

If you put one yuan into it, I will...

What does that mean?

Why can't you put one yuan into it?

I won't tell them.

I will seal my lips.

Do you trust me?

Trust me.

It's so lively.

What's wrong with you today?
Why do you seem so preoccupied?

We are going shopping,
but you don't seem excited at all.

This isn't like you.

From today onward,

I'm no longer a carefree person.

I have something on my mind.

What's with the drama?

Did you just watch some
dramatic TV show or something?

What's bothering you? Tell me about it.

I can't say.

I made a promise to your dad.

You can't make me tell you.

Okay.

Okay?

Why don't you keep asking me about it?
How can you just give up?

Let me put it this way.

I have no interest in participating
in the succession game.

People die because they know too much.

So, I don't want to know so much.

That's why

you can't become a successor.

It has to be me.

I'm suited for it.

You're too deeply involved in the game.

By the way, I just remembered.

You mentioned before that you wanted

to go bungee jumping
at Feilong Canyon, right?

Well, I heard that place is closed now.

You can't go there anymore.
You'll have to find another place.

No,

it's precisely because of this
that I have to go there.
