(Gen Z)

(Episode 37)

Try it and tell me how you feel.

I'm not well-versed in this field. I cannot tell if it's good or bad.

It doesn't matter if you can't tell whether the tea is good or bad.

However, you need to be able to differentiate between right and wrong.

Do you have something to tell me?

No.

Is there something you want to tell me?

What do you want to hear, Mr Ren?

What are

people made up of?

Good and bad.

That's right.

Yin and Yang.

In fact, throughout our lives,

we may have many evil thoughts.

Even in marriage,

there may be countless times when we want to kill the other person.

But when you turn around to grab a gun, you suddenly notice

a rose

on the windowsill.

You decide to pick it

and give it to the other person.

Mr Ren, forgive my ignorance.

I don't understand.

If a person has a conscience,

I believe they won't go too far astray.

If you have something you want

to say to me today,

say it

now.

I'll bear the responsibility for you.

If you think you haven't deviated from the right path,

you can leave.

-Mr Ren... -Think before you speak.

Every word you say

will have consequences.

Think it through.

I have nothing to say.

Your teacher, Wu Shan Dao,

copied a poem for me

when I was established the class.

It's right over there.

Open it

and read it out.

Good and evil are manifested

in our actions.

Through these actions, we distinguish between the petty and the noble.

A noble person seeks to amend their misguided plans without causing harm,

while one who remains lost and unrepentant becomes a petty person.

A good medicine proves its efficacy in treating illnesses,

just as an unblemished jade is cherished for its purity.

To become an exemplary individual, one must strive for refinement.

How can one not seek redemption after making mistakes?

It's a good poem.

A good one.

"Admonitions for My Son" by Shao Yong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Mr Ren,

I made mistakes.

Goodbye.

Thank you, doctor.

-Thank you, doctor. -Go and get some rest.

-Okay. -Go on.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hello, Mr He.

(Miracle Doctor, I need help.)

What's wrong? Take it easy.

Tell me what happened.

These past few days have been really strange.

Many of my patients here have caught a cold.

I've been giving them the same medication I usually prescribe for flu.

But it doesn't seem to be effective. Especially Uncle Niu,

he's been coughing for several days and doesn't seem to be getting better.

Just now, he even had trouble breathing. I'm really worried.

Calm down. What are Uncle Niu's symptoms?

What medications did you prescribe for him?

It's really weird.

Some people have a cold, some are coughing, some have a fever,

and some say they can't taste anything when they eat.

(I prescribed)

(powder of honeysuckle and forsythia,)

ginseng toxin-vanquishing powder and various herbal soups here,

but none of them seem to work.

(What should I do?)

Can you come over?

I'm really desperate.

Mr He.

Tao Zi, why are you here?

Grandma caught a cold in the provincial capital.

Dad took her to the hospital there.

The queue was so long that people were even lining up on the street.

(We couldn't even get a registration number.)

Dad told me to hurry back and find you.

I see. Ask Mrs He to go with you.

Go get her now. Hurry up.

Okay.

Miracle Doctor,

can you come here to provide consultations?

(I'm overwhelmed here. And it's untreatable.)

You are the most respected doctor here.

Everyone trusts you.

If you come, half of the patients will recover.

Okay, Mr He.

Don't worry. I'll pack my things.

I will be there as soon as I can.

Okay. There are too many patients here.

Can your girlfriend come along?

She has something to attend to.

I'll go alone.

(Okay. Please come as soon as you can. Thank you.)

What's going on?

This is the Year of the Metal Rat. The Five Elements and Six Qi

indicate an excessive presence of metal energy.

There might be a major epidemic.

Ask Xin Zheng and the others

to prepare more medicine.

Do you have any idea how serious this is?

Say something!

Mr Ren, I know I was wrong.

Mr Wu said to me before,

"Li Quan,

you have to go back to the apprentice class.

You can't forget your original aspiration."

I've been asking myself.

I said,

"Zhao Li Quan,

what is your original aspiration?"

I want to become a doctor.

I want to provide

a better life for my family.

But I can't go back anymore.

Forget about being a doctor,

you're not even being a decent human being!

If I report you now,

you'll be put behind bars immediately, you know?

For the rest of your life, you will carry

the guilt of corruption, bribery,

and abuse of power.

Your parents and your relatives

will be ashamed because of you.

Mr Ren,

you have to help me.

Please help me.

I have learned my lesson.

Mr Ren, please help me.

Please help me.

I have learned my lesson, Mr Ren.

I have learned my lesson.

Turn yourself in.

You had the courage to commit those acts.

You should also have the courage to admit them.

Be responsible for your actions.

Please give me another chance.

Help me.

Help me.

If my parents and my village find out about this, I'll be ruined.

How will I live then?

I beg you,

please help me.

Help me.

You are responsible

for your own actions.

If you turn yourself in now,

you will get a lenient sentence.

If I report you,

the punishment will be even harsher.

Now that I know about what you did,

I can't pretend I don't know.

How about this?

Why don't you knock me out

until I lose my memory too?

This way, only you, the heavens, and the earth will know,

and no one else.

Mr Ren, please don't say that.

I won't do it again.

I won't do it again.

I'm sorry.

You know,

I'm helping you.

After you turn yourself in,

I will bring you food.

Li Quan,

do you hate me?

Master,

I don't hate you.

I'm grateful to you.

This has been weighing on my heart for a long time,

like a big rock.

It feels so much better to finally tell someone.

That's good to hear.

Go and turn yourself in.

I will visit you.

Go.

-Mr Ren. -(He left.)

I saw it.

Follow him.

(Got it.)

Hello?

(Mr Ren,)

(he didn't enter the police station.)

Where is he going?

I don't know.

Keep following him.

What happened?

He jumped into the river.

I saved him.

Leave us.

You have the courage to kill yourself.

Why don't you have the determination to change and start afresh?

Mr Ren,

I'm ashamed.

It's too late for me go back.

The scoundrel you used to be

is already dead in the river.

From now on, sitting in front of me

is a completely transformed person,

ready to start anew.

Can you do it?

Yes.

Are you sure it's just 300,000 yuan?

Yes.

I will lend you the money.

Take the money

and pay him back.

This way, you can start anew

with ease.

Do you know

how hard it is to cultivate a talent?

They have to go through various tests.

Some people fail in their tests.

That's why everyone

should have a mentor to keep them company

on their journey.

If someone falls behind,

they can lend them a helping hand

and keep moving forward.

I hope

you would take this as a lesson,

learn from your mistakes,

and strive for greater goodness.

Thank you, Mr Ren.

Starting from tomorrow,

you'll return to work at the medical centre.

You'll receive a basic salary.

You will start

as a herb collector.

Forget about being a doctor for now.

You need to understand the spirit of craftsmanship

before you can think about other things.

I will work hard.

Tian Zhen is now...

We will see if we can add another bed in the room.

There are many herbs in there.

You will work in the medical centre during the day,

at night,

you will organise the herb.

That is learning too.

I have a place to stay now.

I just rented a room.

I've paid three months' rent.

Why are you still hesitating then?

There's something I've been unable to understand.

I'd like to ask you.

Go on.

You taught us that,

"Given enough honesty, there will be intelligence;

given enough intelligence, there will be honesty."

Honesty is the foremost principle in being a person.

I've been your student for quite a long time.

I've been observing your actions and behaviour for a long time,

but I still can't figure it out.

What is it?

Your relationship with Tou Tou

is not what people think it is, right?

I am a mortal.

And being a mortal,

I am bound to be lost at times.

Because I have experienced the hardships of mortals,

I can understand your mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Throughout our life,

we are constantly refining ourselves,

striving to improve.

It is important to understand ourselves,

reflect on ourselves,

and then improve ourselves.

Thank you for your guidance.

(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)

Hello, Grandson. What's up?

Tou Tou,

I'm returning to the village to provide free consultations.

Why? What happened?

The flu has been rampant lately.

Mr He asked me to go and help out, to take a look.

When will you be back then?

If everything goes well, three to five days.

But if there are any unforeseen circumstances,

it might take ten days to two weeks.

(Remember to switch shifts with Yang Xiao Hong.)

I've also asked Wu Yu for a favour.

He will join the rotation team. He's reliable.

I got it.

Tou Tou,

do you remember my grandpa's old house, the one I told you about?

(I cleaned it up.)

The key is in the water meter box at the door.

If you ever feel tired

and don't feel like going home, you can stay there.

(Don't always trouble Xing Xing.)

Okay.

(Well, if there's nothing else,)

(I have to go.)

Hang on.

Stay safe.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Come, come.

Madam, why did you move here?

There are too many patients.

When they heard you were coming,

they all came to us.

The village

vacated the ancestral hall for us.

Madam,

my grandfather said this year is a year of epidemic.

I brought some herb sachets. They must be hung up promptly.

I also brought some herbal medicine soup.

Make sure everyone in the village to take it in a timely manner.

Okay, okay.

Come on. Come with me.

Here, this way.

Easy.

Mr He.

-You're here. -I'm here.

Your liver is not good.

-How's your rest been lately? -Not very good.

Don't overexert yourself.

Mr He, allow me.

Dr Ren will take a look at you.

-Hello, Dr Ren. -Hello.

Sit here.

-What's your surname? -Ye.

How old are you?

41.

Let's see.

Please open your mouth. Let me see your tongue.

Okay.

A few more to go.

Hurry.

How's your sleep been?

Not really good.

Please open your mouth. Let me see your tongue.

Wider.

Grandpa,

I have a bad feeling about this.

Everyone's tongue coating is very white and greasy.

The level of greasiness is alarming.

The Right Cun is slippery.

I have prescribed many medications, but there's no improvement.

It's effective,

but the symptoms recur.

The illness is prolonged.

(During the periods of Minor Cold and Major Cold,)

(it is generally the coldest time of the year.)

(As the saying goes, Minor Cold is between)

(the second and third nine-day period,)

(it's so cold that one shivers from head to toe.)

(Minor Cold)

You still don't have a sense of smell?

Yes, I still can't taste anything when eating.

Dr Ren! Dr Ren!

Calm down, Tao Zi.

What's wrong? Is it Grandma again?

No, not Grandma.

It's Uncle Niu.

Go and check on him.

-Okay, I will go check on him now. -Go.

-Let's go. -Okay.

-Collect your medicine outside. -Thank you.

Come, come.

Is it your old ailment?

-How is your blood pressure? -It's okay.

My cough

has gotten better,

but it gets worse at night.

I had a slight fever

when I woke up this morning.

Dr Ren,

I actually felt better earlier.

Maybe...

I... I think

maybe I got a little tired over the past few days.

Besides,

at my age...

It takes longer

for me to recover from a cold.

I'm fine.

No, you are not.

You almost fell down just now.

I felt a little dizzy for a few seconds.

I really am fine.

How are you fine?

Huai told me to take good care of you before he's admitted to the hospital.

If something happens to you, what am I going to say to him?

Who was admitted to the hospital?

My son.

He fell ill after he came back from Wuhan.

He is

in the district hospital now.

What did the hospital say?

The doctor said

he was fine.

A few days of IV drip

will cure him.

How long ago was this?

It has been a few days.

Come here!

Tian Zhen is calling.

Tian Zhen is calling?

Give it to me.

Tian Zhen,

(how have you been doing?)

(Chinese New Year is approaching. You should come home soon.)

(Tian Zhen.)

Mum, let me talk to Grandpa. I have something urgent to ask him.

I'm here. Yes?

(Grandpa, here's the thing.)

(I can't go home for now.)

I have never seen such a complex situation before,

so I need your help to sort it out.

Do you remember what the situation was like during the SARS outbreak?

Your parents took the lead at that time.

Come. Ling Lan, you talk to him.

(Tell me about the situation.)

Mum, my patients' high fever isn't going down.

I tried using a combination of Maxing Shigan soup

(and modified Xiaochaihu decoction,)

(but it only provides temporary relief. The illness is prolonged.)

(Even in the early stages, it comes on aggressively.)

(I've advised two patients to go directly to the general hospital.)

So, I wanted to ask what it was like during SARS.

The illness is now spreading in Wuhan.

I'm getting a bit worried.

You can't handle it alone.

(Come home now.)

Grandpa, they need me here. I can't go home.

You brat,

you never suffered from this before.

(During the SARS outbreak,)

(one of your mum's best friends)

(got infected and died.)

(You are our only grandchild.)

Tian Zhen,

come home.

We will talk about it when you come home.

(Tian Zhen.)

(Tian Zhen,)

give me a day. I will get prepared. I will be there tomorrow afternoon.

Text me the address.

(Okay, Dad.)

He's going too?

Tian Zhen, listen to me.

(Be sure to always wear a mask.)

Also, the prescribed herbal decoction needs to be taken three times a day.

I'll ask your dad to bring some more over.

Even those who haven't fallen ill should drink it as well.

Got it?

Got it, Mum. I will.

I have to go now.

What kind of mother are you?

What if it really is SARS?

The SARS outbreak was so severe back then.

Didn't you also send your own daughter to the front line?

Tian Zhen is a doctor.

This is when his skills should be put to use.

This is odd.

I could bear

to let my daughter go,

yet I can't bear to let my grandson go.

Look after the medical centre.

It's difficult for us to know

when this disease will reach Jiangzhou.

Take stock of the masks.

Easy.

Those who have a fever, separate them with other patients.

Here.

I have already placed

a large order for anti-epidemic medicines.

Put it here.

Anything else?

No, just these few little bags.

If there is a major outbreak,

our medical centre will immediately prepare the medicine

and distribute it for free.

I want all the patients and their families to have access to it.

-Professor Ren... -Hold on, let me think.

What else is there?

Why do you insist on leaving overnight?

It would be much better to bring a student with you tomorrow morning.

You can take turns driving on the way.

No need. It should be fine.

I can just use GPS.

Okay, go home.

Okay.

-Okay. -Take care.

-I'm leaving. -Drive slowly.

Be careful.

Professor Ren,

I'm so glad you came.

Where is Tian Zhen?

Tian Zhen took Uncle Niu to the county town.

I'm worried he can't make it.

Uncle Niu's condition is critical.

Why did he seek treatment so late?

It's not Tian Zhen's fault.

It's mainly Uncle Niu's fault.

He's reluctant to spend money.

He's a really good doctor.

It's not easy to invite him.

The password is six zeroes.

The money inside is enough.

Get someone to send this card to him.

Look at him.

He's so cool.

He is a famous doctor, a great doctor.

Of course he's cool.

-I will go take a look. -Okay.

It's Xin Zheng.

Master.

(Xin Zheng.)

I wrote a prescription

based on the situation.

I've sent it to you.

What do you think about it?

I've looked at it.

The dosage of Ephedra sinica

is a bit too high.

If the dosage is too high,

it will affect sleep.

Only with proper rest

(can the patient recover quickly)

(and self-heal.)

Got it, Master. I'll keep it in mind.

How's the medical centre?

How is Ling Lan?

(We are doing good.)

Don't worry.

At your age,

you still have to help out in the medical centre.

Don't say that.

Take care of yourself.

Okay, I will.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Bye.

Dad, Dad.

Something happened.

What is it?

Uncle Niu's son has passed away.

Drink slowly.

How did it happen?

He went to the provincial capital on his own,

but the hospital there was already overcrowded.

He was still fine when he arrived there.

But while waiting, he suddenly collapsed and never woke up again.

What is the situation in the hospital?

I asked my classmate.

It's a mess.

They lack manpower and protection.

Many doctors have been infected.

Tian Zhen,

Grandpa

has written a prescription

for this illness.

I will forward it to you later.

Okay.

This is a small place.

The disease won't spread here for now.

You will stay here.

Where are you going, Dad?

I'm going to the provincial capital.

Hello, Kai.

(Please give your order.)

I want to make a call.

Call Luo Yong Xin.

(Calling Luo Yong Xin)

-Hello. -(Mr Luo.)

(This is Ren Xin Zheng.)

Ren,

we are facing a problem here.

I know.

Mr Luo,

I'm on my way to Wuhan.

How is the situation over there?

(Not good. Don't come here.)

Listen, many of our colleagues

in the surgical department have been infected.

Internal medicine department?

It's the same.

(Medical supplies are scarce.)

(The higher-ups are already coordinating support.)

(Wuhan)

(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)

(Tian Zhen) (Are you okay?)

(Hang in there!)

(All the best to you!)

Is everything okay there?

Everything's fine, right?

By the way, can you help me ask

about

today's treatment plan?

He hasn't been replying my messages.

It's already dark.

Why haven't we started the acupuncture treatment yet?

Master hasn't replied me yet.

I still don't know today's treatment plan.

What plan?

Isn't just inserting the needle to the same spot?

Just do the treatment.

You need to stop depending on him.

I'll teach you. Just do it.

That's not a good idea.

Child,

my legs may be disabled,

but my brain is not.

You should know that your master and I are fellow disciples.

Okay.

Then let me ask you,

how did you fall?
