[Fireworks of My Heart]

[Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi]

[Episode 15]

Yan, have a date cake.

What are you looking at?

About last time, is there no follow-up?

What "last time"?

I told you.

The girl was roaring drunk so it wasn't for real.

- Miao, have a bun, okay? - Yeah, eat the bun.

I warned you but you wouldn't listen and went looking for her.

Now, look. You got dumped again.

Girl.

That's in the past. Why bring it up?

I'm obliged to, because that woman is crazy.

Why can't I mention it?

Yan, I'm begging you. You've got to stop looking for her.

What's so great about her?

She's the most obnoxious and cold-hearted person I've ever met.

Heartless.

Just shut up.

Miao.

That's enough.

Why are you so against her?

She isn't like what you said.

Yeah, right.

She's the most fragile and timid person I know.

That woman?

She wishes to go wild, to let loose, to be free.

She refuses to submit.

She pretends to be strong, but in fact, her innermost being is weak.

A character like hers is the most useless.

Seems like it's most useful to you.

She has you wrapped around her little finger.

I don't know if there's any use.

Whatever it is, I just think she's not for you.

Oh, I remember that Li Meng from the detachment.

I think that lady is pretty good.

I think so, too.

Uncle, Aunt. I'm off.

- Yan! - Take care.

Not even food can seal your mouth.

Sit down.

Goodness. Please watch what you say.

Why do you keep saying stuff that hurts Yan?

That's right. You need to learn how to read the air.

Eat the fritter you like. I bought it just for you.

Eat your food.

Yan!

Yan.

Aunt.

Wait up. You didn't have any soy milk just now.

Take this.

It's okay. You didn't have to pack it for me.

What Miao said just now, I hope you didn't take it to heart.

It's okay.

But regarding this matter,

I think it's better to accept reality and move on.

Take it easy.

After all, there's too much bad blood between our families.

But our family history is unrelated to her.

It relates to you though.

Did you forget all the things you went through?

You can't expect us to pretend like it never happened.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

Are you dead set on reconciling with her?

A lot of things are not always under our control.

It's complicated. To her, and to me.

I'll just go with the flow.

Alright, you go back.

Don't be too harsh on yourself.

Remember to drink the soy milk.

- I will. - It has a short shelf life.

Captain Song, going back to the station?

Get in.

If I remember correctly, you don't live around here. Are you passing by?

I heard there's a nice cake shop in the area. So I came by to buy it.

Later, take some to the station.

It's okay. I don't really like sweet stuff.

It's not only for you. It's for the whole team.

Okay.

Do you still like her?

What a surprise.

You're actually the masochistic type.

I mean, you're too low for her taste. So why bother?

Who gave her the right to belittle you and be dismissive of a good person like yourself?

You should show her.

There are many equally great ladies who like you.

Li Meng.

Watch it.

You're treading a thin line.

You really annoy me.

I mean, you're a good character, with good looks and everything. But?

You hang yourself on one tree.

That's enough from you.

I thank you for your concern.

Anyway,

whatever happens to my relationship with my ex-girlfriend

is not up for others to meddle in.

Got that?

Fine, I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't say these things.

It's rude.

I couldn't help myself.

Have I told you? You and I are impossible.

So what if you have?

Are you dictating what I should do?

You ask why I do this to myself. Then why are you doing this?

It's easy for you to criticize others.

You like her, you don't like me.

I can't do anything about it.

But can't you at least find someone who treats you better?

At least, let me feel convinced.

I'm trying to convince myself.

Who can give me a reasonable answer?

[Emergency Department]

Miss Jia, why can't I continue to stay here?

Because the hospital is a place for sick people.

Then I want to be sick a long time.

Don't be silly. You can't always be sick.

Later, a lady from the Women's Association will take you to the orphanage.

There will be lots of other children.

And the teacher will teach you to read and write.

I have no money.

They're going to kick me out.

You don't need money for it.

Is that true, Miss Qin?

Yes, that's right.

Then are you going to go play with me?

I will.

Pinky promise.

You make a pinky promise, you keep it all your life.

Doctor, my mum is having trouble breathing.

Come, sit down.

- How long has this gone on? - About 40 minutes.

I'll give you a prescription for oxygen therapy first.

Oxygen therapy doesn't work.

It actually exacerbates the condition.

- Does she have any underlying illnesses? - No.

She's been to your hospital many times.

She was given a clean bill of health.

Is this the usual symptom?

Yes. Every time, she'd say that she couldn't breath.

That she's out of breath.

But when we come to the hospital, you guys find nothing wrong with her.

Don't panic.

Turn around.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Has she done a lung CT scan before?

Yes.

From this scan, everything looks fine.

I also didn't find anything unusual when I listened to her lungs.

I think your mother could have psychological hysteria.

That means, physically she's all right, but she believes otherwise.

When you keep giving yourself psychological hints like that,

the body starts to overreact.

It's fine. It's nothing to worry about.

Doctor, at least give her some medication.

She doesn't need medication because she's not sick.

Aside from the breathing difficulty, do you have any other symptoms?

Dr Xu.

This symptom of yours, does it happen often?

- Yes. - It comes and goes.

Get me a clean plastic bag.

Okay.

Relax. Let's try this.

It could work.

Now, now, relax. Hold this.

I think your mother is suffering from hyperventilation.

Due to her hyperventilating, the carbon dioxide level becomes low.

With the bag over her head, it can raise the carbon dioxide level.

Keep monitoring.

Here.

How do you feel?

Much better.

I can catch my breath now.

It's not anything serious.

But I suggest that you go and see a psychiatrist.

A psychiatrist?

- Okay? - Okay. Thank you.

Careful.

Take it easy.

Xu Qin.

For a patient like her,

my diagnosis is one, she's reached menopause.

It's very likely that due to various circumstances in her life or family,

she's feeling a lot of stress and emotional distress.

Do you know what you did wrong?

As doctors, we're not only treating the illness.

We also have to know to read a person.

Calling Mr Jiang. What's the situation?

Eight hikers went up Mount Phoenix and got trapped.

- How long has it been? - They went in yesterday noon.

The alert was sent this morning.

Their GPS device is not working. They only have a contour map.

They entered through the back mountain.

They snuck in without getting official permit.

The weather is bad. It rained the whole night on the mountain.

One of the victims' father called the local rescue team for help.

At last, the rescue team also got trapped inside.

Do we have the exact location?

Only a rough description.

Okay, roger that.

When will that be?

How much longer?

You guys are finally here.

We only got here ourselves. The family members are very anxious.

They want us to head into the mountain right away.

First, we have to be briefed.

At least, we need to know where the victims are.

I know that, but look...

We shouldn't rush in before getting to know the area.

Mr Firefighter, our children have been out of reach for a day.

Lives are at stake. Why aren't you guys doing anything?

How about this?

I'll pay. Is 100,000 yuan enough?

No? I can add 50,000 yuan more.

Or you name a price.

I'm willing to pay however much so long as you go get them.

This has nothing to do with money.

This isn't about money.

Without first understanding the surrounding area,

we'll be acting irresponsible toward the trapped.

Mr Firefighter, my son is a senior-year student.

They all go to famous universities.

They're future talents.

My sister is a freshman.

Your kids are children.

Us firefighters are also someone else's children.

No matter whose child, they should not be put at risk.

Guys, which one of you knows the back mountain terrain?

Yes, me.

I'm a local resident. I know this area.

I'm going to set up the drone.

Actually, after listening to them talking,

my guess is that those kids are not on the back mountain.

The terrain there is complicated. They probably found a stream and followed it.

They could have reached the main mountain.

- Main mountain? - Yes.

There's a boulder on the main mountain, too?

Where's the main mountain?

Right here. Take a look. At this spot.

Tell me if I marked it correctly.

- Is it here? - Yes. There's also a boulder here.

The boulder is named Ji Ming Rock.

We often went there to pick medicinal herbs.

But the herbs became scarce so we stopped going.

There are lots of snakes too. Not many go there now.

The terrain is even trickier there.

It'd be a problem if they were there.

Got it.

Everyone, please calm down.

- Captain. - Gather around.

I'll brief you on the situation.

Here's the thing.

Look here. There are two similar boulders in this area.

The description given by the hikers previously could be wrong.

That led the civilian rescue team to Ying Zui Rock on the back mountain.

According to the local resident, there's a Ji Ming Rock on the main mountain.

This area is more remote and steeper.

It's much more attractive for adventurous hikers.

Take a look.

I flew the drone around the zone, but did not find anything.

I think the previous rescue team failed to find them

because they took the wrong route from the start.

Thank goodness we didn't rush up the mountain just now.

Otherwise, we would've been trapped.

Everyone, prepare your gear. Get ready to go.

Yes, sir.

If we locate the civilian rescue team first,

we'll meet up with you later.

Stay safe. Keep in contact.

Got it.

- Let's go. - Go.

Go!

[Emergency Department]

Have you eaten?

Yes.

I'm going to the dry cleaners.

I'll go with you.

Are you still angry with me?

No.

I should apologise to you as well.

For what?

It was your birthday, but I still argued with you.

It ruined your birthday.

We weren't arguing.

We were discussing.

Do you want to continue the discussion?

No, thanks.

After every discussion, there's a week-long silent treatment.

I can't stand it.

Let's go.

I'll go with you.

This way. Watch your footing.

Anyone there?

Respond if you hear us!

We are firefighters!

- Anyone? - Anyone there?

- Anyone there? - Anyone there?

Anyone there?

Song Yan, it's still a long ways away.

We've been trekking for three plus hours. Let's take a break.

Anyone there?

Take a 2-minute break where you are.

Hand me the GPS.

Do these two roads lead to the main mountain?

- Which one is faster? - This route is easier. But it's winding.

This route is more difficult, but shorter.

Getting to them is our priority. Take the shorter route.

Okay. This way, then.

- Let's go! - Yes, sir.

Let's go!

Go.

Anyone there?

Anyone there?

We are firefighters!

Anyone there?

Watch where you're going.

Anyone there?

We are firefighters!

Respond if you hear us.

- Careful. - Anyone?

We are firefighters!

Anyone there?

We are firefighters!

Anyone there?

- Anyone there? - Give me a hand.

- Watch your step. - Be careful.

- Anyone? - Anyone there?

Quiet!

Help.

- Help! - Help!

We're over here!

Over here!

We're here!

That way.

- Let's go. - Careful, it's slippery.

Watch your step.

- Tread carefully. - Watch your step.

How are things?

Same old, same old.

Mum wants me to join Guo Kun.

What is your plan then?

No plans.

I'll just put it off as long as I can.

That's what you get for being brilliant. Your investment company is doing so well.

Are you being sarcastic?

Not at all.

But honestly,

I really admire you for being able to excel at something you don't like.

If it were me, I'd probably wreck it on purpose.

I guess I'm a perfectionist in some ways.

Whatever projects I get, I always want them to be perfect.

I don't like bad outcomes.

I think you're just too soft-hearted.

You don't like seeing Dad and Mum disappointed.

You're the same.

Yan Chen.

If there was a time machine,

would you want to go back to the past, or to the future?

Which stage of your life do you want to visit the most?

The past maybe.

Back to when you first came to our family.

What about you?

I'll go to the future then.

I'd like to see what we've become 10 years later.

Careful. It's all right.

Hang in there. We'll get you out.

It hurts. I can't take it.

Ouch...

It hurts.

Come in, Command Center.

This is Shili Tai Fire and Rescue.

We've found all the missing hikers.

We've found all the missing hikers.

Over.

Roger that.

Come in, Command Center. I am Li Bin of Wufang Fire Station.

We have found the missing civilian rescue team. We are on the way down.

Command Center copy.

Hello?

Dr Xu. This is Song Yan.

I'm listening.

I have a lady here with a broken leg. The slightest touch induces pain.

Here's the thing. The temperature is dropping.

We have to get her down the mountain. How should we do it?

Is it an open or closed fracture?

- Open fracture. - Do you have bandages and splints?

We do.

Jun Ping, first aid kit.

Here.

First, apply compression to the wound to stop the bleeding.

Then secure with a splint after bandaging to transport her.

The spot where the splint touches the body should be well padded.

The two joints above and below the fracture have to be secured.

This is to limit movement.

Fix the proximal end of the fracture first, then the distal end.

Keep her two legs together, with a thick padding in between.

Bandage it using the figure-of-eight method.

Make sure the toes are exposed.

Pay attention to the blood circulation at all times.

If the toes become numb, turn purplish, or become cold to the touch,

you'll have to readjust.

Got it. Thanks, Dr Xu.

Stay safe, Captain Song.

It's okay. Bear with it.

- Don't touch me. - Bear with it.

It's all right. Don't worry.

Bear with it. It's okay.

It's okay. Relax.

It's getting colder.

We have to finish bandaging and get you down the mountain.

If hypothermia sets in, everyone here will be in danger.

Here, cover with this.

Try and keep warm.

Be gentle.

Was that Song Yan?

Is he really that great?

You didn't see him for ten years.

Did it not occur to you that people could change?

Time could only change things that weren't firm enough to begin with.

- Qin Qin. - Yan Chen.

I know you'll say that there's no future for us.

But that doesn't have anything to do with how I feel.

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have said that the other day.

But did you stop to think?

Everything I said are things you have to face one day.

When the time comes, then what?

I'm scared of contradictions and confrontations.

I'm also afraid of picking up the pieces.

It's easiest for me to walk away.

But I no longer want to be a runaway soldier.

I won't be able to face myself then.

I know. With my current abilities,

I'm unable to resolve a lot of things.

But I have to face these inevitable consequences head-on.

Be careful. It's slippery.

It's slippery!

Watch your footing.

Slowly.

Careful. Come, I'll get it.

It hurts.

Don't worry. Hold onto the safety rope.

You will be fine.

Hang in there. We're almost there.

- Hang in there. Almost there. - Hang in there.

- Just a little more. - Slowly.

We're almost at the bottom.

Jun Ping!

Watch it, careful.

Jun Ping!

Captain!

Mr Jiang!

I'm okay!

Jun Ping, are you all right? What's the situation?

My foot is stuck.

I can't get it out.

Safety rope.

Safety rope!

Here.

Keep still. Let me take a look.

Song Yan, what's the situation?

Don't move.

He's stuck.

Can you guys hurry up?

I'm in so much pain.

I can't take it.

Hurry up!

It hurts.

Hey. It's too cold.

And we have injured members.

Can't you take the injured members out first?

Jiang Yu!

Take them out first.

Come back with a crowbar.

Okay, got it.

What else do you need down there?

Any water?

Water, who has water?

- Water, anyone? - We don't have any.

We drank it all. There's no more.

Everyone's out of water.

We'll split up.

I'll lead them down the mountain and bring back what you need.

Hang in there!

Okay.

Stay safe!

Can you hang on?

[How is the situation?]

[Are you injured? Have you gone back?]

[Song Yan]

Good day. The number you've dialled cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

There's no news. Have they found them?

Yeah, why are the firefighters taking so long?

Everyone, please remain calm.

The firefighters have gone in. We'll hear from them soon.

Keep calm.

Have something warm to eat.

- Have some water. - No, I'll pass.

It's cold at night. Take an extra with you.

Okay.

Have some water.

I think I see someone.

- Is it them? - There's lights.

Is it them?

They're back.

Hey, come quick!

They're out! Come quick!

- Hurry up! - Watch your step.

Everyone, remain calm. Please make way.

Excuse us. Please make way.

Make way.

Quickly, to the hospital.

Careful.

Dad!

Dad, I was so scared!

Wait a minute. Mr Jiang, that's...

Thank goodness you're okay.

Where is Song Yan?

One of our team members got stuck in a ravine. He's still up there with him.

What are we waiting for then? Bin, grab the crowbar.

You two, follow me to rescue them.

Pi Pi, Ge Zheng, Da Peng, Jiang Yi.

Here.

Go up and get Captain Song back.

- Captain! - Captain!

Jun Ping!

Captain!

Jun Ping!

- Captain! - Captain!

Jun Ping!

Jun Ping!

Captain!

Captain!

Captain!

Captain!

- Captain! - Captain!

Jun Ping!

- Ambulance! - Quickly!

Get him to the hospital.

Jiang.

Here you go.

Cover yourself.

Here, quick. Drink water.

- Jiang Yi. - Jiang Yi.

Give me a minute.

Eat something.

Eat this.

I'm fine.

Save the food for the hikers and their families.

What hikers and families? They're long gone.

They already left?

They gave the reason of taking the hikers to the hospital.

I say it's so that they could avoid the press and possible punishment.

Who would punish them?

You're not sleeping?

Aren't you tired?

Not too bad.

Do you guys

come across such incidents often?

If we're looking at the frequency, it's been decreasing year by year.

Because the environment is improving.

It really sucks having to deal with such matters.

Are you already complaining over such a small matter?

Objectively, such difficulties are not that bad.

It's the mental pressure

that bothers me.

I told you.

You're too idealistic.

You stayed too long in a glass cover.

Are you attacking me again?

I'm not.

Your performance today was pretty good.

Since we're on the topic, be frank with me.

Do you really think I'm idealistic?

Did you think

I chose this career because I wanted glory?

Or perhaps it was a short-lived passion?

When the passion is gone,

so is the halo.

And there goes my ideals.

Your critique is pretty accurate.

Let me tell you the truth.

I thought long and hard before I made the decision.

Like you said, I did have many options.

But that doesn't mean my choice

isn't as serious and worthy as yours.

I never thought about glory, or wanting to be a hero.

I just purely like this job.

I wish to contribute to it.

You could even say,

I wish to become better day by day.

You know something?

Every time I'm in the shower, and the water splashes on my head,

three things pop into my mind.

I hope to integrate into the team quickly.

I hope to become stronger.

And that I could do more

for the fire station.

I just said all that while you're all quiet.

Say something.

I guess we share

similar thoughts.

I'll take that as a compliment.

[How is the situation? Are you injured? Have you gone back?]

[Don't worry. On the way back]

[Don't worry. On the way back]

[Loyalty to the party, Disciplined] The gifts arrived long ago.

What took you guys so long?

- The traffic was terrible. - Come, let's get the stuff.

Come, you take this one.

- Okay. - I'll take that.

The flowers are lovely.

- Thanks. - Let's go.

Thank you, sir.

- Hello. - Hello.

We're here to visit Liu Jun Ping.

Okay, please hold on.

Hey, we're here to see you.

- Ping. - Hello, Squad Leader.

- Squad Leader. - All of you came.

Hi, Squad Leader.

You guys didn't have to buy gifts.

Buy? You're thinking too much.

These are gifts from enthusiastic citizens.

Jun Ping, you better recover quickly.

Just now, a few young ladies were outside hoping to see you.

- Seriously? - Yes.

Then, shouldn't I look more presentable?

Don't do that.

Captain said that your main job right now is to rest and recuperate.

Too big of a crowd gets in the way of your recovery.

So they were turned away.

They left?

The girls left, but they left the fruits and flowers behind.

Here you go, Squad Leader.

Are we leaving the fruits?

Too much fruit brings heat.

Wait, you're not giving me the fruits?

Take them away.

- You're really taking it? - Yes, we are.

You should...

At least leave some that doesn't cause heat.

Doesn't cause heat?

- Have an apple, Squad Leader. - Apples don't cause heat.

- Orange for good luck. - A bit of oranges is okay.

Squad Leader, the rest all cause heat.

Indeed. Lychees are the worst.

Enough, you guys. Scram.

Thanks, Squad Leader.

Keep the flowers. They're beautiful.

Thanks, Yang.

Thanks.

Eat it slowly. Take it easy.

They're gone.

So are the fruits.
