[Fireworks of My Heart]

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

[Episode 25]

Salute!

Thank you for everything, firefighters.

[Unselfishly dedicate to the people, charge ahead in earthquake relief]

[Natural disasters are ruthless, there is love in the world]

[Thank you for your help. You've worked hard, firefighters]

[Thank you]

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

[Unselfishly dedicate to the people, charge ahead in earthquake relief]

[How is your injury?]

[Much better. You should rest well too]

[I've had a good rest]

[What are you up to? Not working?]

[I'm on leave]

[Want to meet up?]

[Yes]

Come out then.

- Did you wait a long time? - Just got here.

What are you smiling at?

Nothing.

Where are we going?

Let's watch a movie.

Okay.

Where?

Qifeng Road.

Okay.

What now?

"Okay, okay." Like a dummy.

Let's take the subway today. The road's jammed.

Okay.

"Okay, okay." Like a dummy.

My card is not working.

What is it?

This place is a perfect interpretation of a maths problem.

What problem?

Two parallel lines can intersect.

At a certain time,

in a certain place,

on a certain point.

That's false proposition.

The only reason why they can intersect is because they were never parallel lines.

Song Yan.

After coming back from the rescue operation, I've come to a realization.

Before, whenever I thought of you,

thought about us,

I'd recall the 10 years we had missed out on.

But now, I wonder if our lives are just like these tracks.

They come together or split apart. There are meetings and goodbyes.

So there's no need to brood over what we've missed.

All that matters is we cherish each other's company

when we meet again.

Am I being fickle-minded?

Dr Xu.

Aren't you being too emotional about your first time on the subway?

Let's go.

- Hello. One popcorn. - Hi there.

All right.

Anything to drink?

Coke.

- Two cokes. - Sure. Please wait.

Sausage, spicy strips, potato chips.

I don't really eat snacks nowadays.

What about this?

I don't like chocolates as much too.

Please scan the code to pay.

Okay. Enjoy the movie.

Here you go.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Do you want it?

You eat.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

Okay.

- Sorry about that. - It's okay.

- We'll take note about this. - Right.

Please enjoy the movie.

Occupational disease.

Was the fire escape route blocked?

Yeah.

What happened at the start of the movie?

I wasn't watching.

You didn't watch?

Then what were you doing?

Just now,

I was looking at what you were doing.

We're here.

Go in.

Do you want to go up?

We didn't have dinner.

You can go after we eat.

Can you cook?

Aside from rice, what else do you have at home?

There's a supermarket nearby.

It has everything you need.

Let's go.

Pork belly.

You used to love this.

Marbled meat?

Your taste really changed a lot.

Let's see what you like and don't like now.

After so long, what changed and what didn't?

Let me figure out once and for all.

Oh, I no longer eat spicy food.

What about you? What's changed?

I can eat spicy now.

Is it good?

Very good.

I remember you didn't cook before.

And you were not as neat and tidy.

You've changed a lot.

I still don't cook that often.

My uncle and aunt sometimes go on long trips.

So I cook for Zhai Miao.

I've changed a lot too.

I've become boring.

Boring and dull.

Have some tea.

I boiled water.

Don't you think it's a little late?

What's too late?

We watched the movie.

We had dinner.

What happens after we have tea?

It's getting late.

I should go.

Do you still like me?

Yes.

I changed my mind.

Let's be together.

I don't need anything from you.

You don't have to promise to stand by me.

After going through so much, we still like each other.

After a near-death experience, we've also learned to cherish each other more.

So let's be together.

Our feelings are mutual, and our jobs are closely related.

It would be the best if we had our own family.

We should be together now.

It's okay to be together.

Today.

Let's be together.

Those words

aren't something you'd normally say.

Do you

really like me that much?

Yes.

I still like you.

I like you a lot.

Even though your personality,

taste and hobbies have all changed over the years.

Maybe after a week of being together, we'd be sick of each other.

But right now,

I want us to be together.

Call me after you think about it.

Okay.

Let's get married.

Today.

Right this moment.

Let's be together.

When did he start acting like that?

He's been like this since coming back from Wangxiang.

At first, we thought he had a fight with his girlfriend.

But later we noticed that he'd often get up in the middle of the night and sat alone outside.

Till the sun came up.

Aside from Ge,

is anyone else acting strange?

Strange? I'd count Tang Jie as one.

He's been having trouble sleeping. And he keeps mumbling to himself.

"If I was a little quicker, the little boy could've been saved."

What about Jiang Yi?

Jiang is doing all right.

Just that he's more lethargic lately.

He just sleeps when he's not on duty.

I read their questionnaires.

PTSD.

What SD?

PTSD.

Post-traumatic stress disorder.

I've experienced it before.

I was traumatized

during a mission.

For a period of time, I wasn't able to relax.

I went to a doctor and was told there was no solution.

I could only rely on the company of people around me.

Aside from having company,

only time could heal the condition.

I hope the rest of the team members

will spend more time with them.

What are you doing?

Look.

It's snowing.

Uncle's courtyard must be looking beautiful.

Open the door wide and you'll see a thick layer of snow.

Everything is covered in white.

Do you like old, traditional houses?

Like your house?

The kind that is for single family.

Yes, I do.

I said it the first time I visited Mr Zhai's house.

I really adored old houses that had a little courtyard.

Don't remember it, huh?

Get ready for work. You'll be late.

After I leave for work, will you be bored by yourself?

I won't.

I'll rest at home in the morning.

In the afternoon, I'm going to meet a friend...

I mean, a colleague.

Is it a friend or colleague?

Both.

Who is it? Do I know that person?

You do. It's Li Meng.

Oh.

Does she like you?

Who?

Li Meng.

I don't think so.

Then, do you like her?

What do you think?

When do you get off work?

Let's have dinner.

Hard to say.

I may have emergency surgeries tonight.

I'll be late off work. You don't have to wait for me.

Alright then. I won't disturb you.

Call me when you're off work.

Okay.

[Yanbei Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station]

Ge, let's go eat.

Yeah, let's eat. There's cured meat on the menu today.

I'll pass. I'm not hungry.

Ge.

What's the matter?

I'm fine.

If anything is wrong, don't keep it to yourself.

Let it out.

You'll feel better if you talk about it.

[Yanbei Firefighting Detachment] When rookie firefighters take part

in their first big-scale relief operation,

there's a high change they would end up with PTSD.

Nowadays, such issues have become a main focus in our line of work.

It should be reported to the management so that counselling can be arranged.

Let's wrap this relief operation up properly.

[Speaker podium] Does anyone have any questions?

Go ahead.

What are some of the treatments for PTSD?

Can we help firefighters improve

their emotional capacity to cope with it through normal training?

How do we improve mental resilience so that they can deal with more complex situations?

For the time being, ways to treat PTSD include

drug therapy and psychological intervention.

Based on the firefighters' situation, we can review data from past rescue operations.

Brief them on the possible difficulties and dangers of a major relief operation.

This can help rookies to adjust their mental state timely and accurately,

and thus increase their resilience.

Anyone else has questions?

Go on.

I...

No more question.

Okay.

Let's take a break for 10 minutes.

We'll resume later.

[Commendation Ceremony]

Good work, everyone.

In the recent rescue operation,

our hospital's medical team did an amazing job.

They managed to conduct 38 major surgeries, 79 minor surgeries,

and 438 instances treating the wounded.

The local residents only had good things to say.

During the operation, some individuals really shone.

They showed excellent medical skills and great compassion.

They put the people's well-being first at all times.

Such medical practitioners are role models for all of us here.

They deserve commendation from the hospital and community.

Now, I'd like to invite one of the stand-outs,

who was also chosen by the media

as one of the ten most inspiring individuals of the disaster.

Dr Xu Qin from the Emergency Department.

Let's hear it.

Actually, I only did what I was supposed to do.

I too, was saved.

When I found out that the woman had already died, I left the scene.

It was the firefighter who found her that noticed she was pregnant.

So he stopped me.

Thanks to his alert,

I was able to save the baby.

At the same time,

I was spared from making a critical error.

At that moment,

I realized what I had done wrong all this time.

As a doctor,

it was a serious dereliction of duty on my part.

- It was also... - Dr Xu.

That's enough. You may go.

Dr Xu had exerted herself the past days.

So she's a little emotional.

Anyway, that's what happened.

Together with a firefighter, Dr Xu brought a new life into the world.

A round of applause for them.

[A few comments and suggestions]

[Keep warm and drink plenty of warm water]

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Dr Xu.

I want you to have this.

Keep it as a memento.

During the earthquake relief operation,

I saw a great doctor emerge.

Continue working hard.

I will.

What's up with you?

Did Dr Xu give it to you?

That old man is so biased.

He was awarded this medal by the Health Minister for the aid work he did in Africa.

He wore it every year on Doctors' Day.

Really?

I should wear it on Doctors' Day from now on then.

What a brag.

You better catch up, Dr Yang.

You should humble yourself, Dr Xu.
