=Episode 23= (Always Believe Life is Worth Living)

How is it? Comfortable, right?

Feels good.

Let's try this one.

You can't just run home and ask your parents for money every time.

Well, we are married and adults.

Be mature, okay?

But we really don't have money, do we?

Without money, we can't offer help.

Can't we just earn money?

We are healthy grown-ups.

And we have jobs.

Though Lin Tuo is ill, he can still draw design sketches and earn money.

Lin Tuo can do it because he has skills.

He can earn money with his skills.

I have no skills or specialties.

Well, neither do you.

We are useless.

Get up, you're useless, not I.

I...

I can live stream, that's my skill.

Can it be used for fundraising?

Why not ask netizens to donate money?

That's not impossible. Come on, massage me.

But we can't be so blunt, right?

You can't just tell them to donate money

to save a child.

Why would strangers donate money to us?

Then do something meaningful.

Something meaningful?

Ye said he contacted the student union.

They can initiate a school donation campaign

with authentic medical cases.

I did organize some previously.

I can send him the ones I have on hand first.

Alright.

Our project is also ready.

Yes, that's right.

What project is it?

We'll be livestreaming the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Xindi has contacted various famous influencers.

They will join our live stream by then.

We've reached an agreement with the platform.

All profits obtained from the Ice Bucket Challenge Charity Sale

will be donated to the foundation for Dong Dong's medical expenses.

There's more, and we've also reached an agreement with the factory to sell

at cost price.

Actually, we went to negotiate with a try-and-see attitude.

But they were so supportive.

This is all we can do.

This is already pretty impressive.

You two will do this together?

He will.

I'll be cheering for him.

Honey, you can do it. Look how strong you are.

Just some cold water, you'll be fine.

No problem, I believe in you. I love you.

Going to the canteen?

Yes.

(Caring for Health)

Hello, who are you looking for?

Sorry, wrong ward.

Dear netizens, my name is Lin Tuo.

I am a patient with ALS.

The fundraising campaign we've launched

is for a three-year-old child named Zhang Dingdong,

the youngest ALS patient in our rehabilitation nursing home.

Dong Dong is unfortunate,

facing doom at such a young age.

But he is also fortunate.

He still has the chance to receive treatment.

So many people

are taking care of him,

helping him grow strong and healthy, defying the odds.

This marks the inaugural event of the Jianyu Mutual Fund,

where we share a core belief in the value of life,

stand united in the battle against disease and death itself,

strive to create this miracle,

and give Dong Dong a second chance.

This is not only Dong Dong's hope,

but also a collective hope for all of us who suffer from ALS. Thank you.

Guys, our Ice Bucket Challenge is about to start.

Be generous and donate, please.

Thank you so much.

Let me show you the ice we have here.

(Public Welfare Action Ice Bucket Challenge) All real ice,

(Public Welfare Action Ice Bucket Challenge) as everyone can see.

Add lots and lots more ice.

Now, let's welcome our challenger, my husband, Chen Guangpu.

Thank you, everyone.

Let me check.

Xiao Hutu will donate 200 yuan for each bucket.

200 yuan. Thank you, Xiao Hutu.

Thank you for your kindness. You'll be blessed!

Then our challenge officially begins.

Go for it, honey!

Come on!

Here it comes!

Let's cut the crap and start.

Go for it, honey!

- Come on! - Come on!

This is the first bucket, guys.

Anymore? Take it away.

I'll continue.

But I hope everyone can give us a gift of love, okay?

Please support us, thank you all.

Here comes the third bucket.

♪Stop backing down♪

♪I think you get it. Time flies♪

♪We can't give in like this♪

♪Crush them. Destroy those empty promises♪

♪Fearlessly, we keep marching forward♪

Go for it, honey!

♪Breakthrough! Break the chains♪

♪Adversity can't bring us down♪

Okay, guys, now it's the last bucket.

It's the eighth bucket.

And then, to express my sincerity,

I'll add all the ice into it.

Give us some gifts of love, okay?

See, I'm all in, thank you.

The eighth bucket, the last one.

♪Time is engraved with vows♪

♪All the mean stares♪

♪Fearless is the way I live♪

Alright, our challenge is now over.

Thank you for your love.

Hurry, are you cold, honey?

We got enough gifts?

Absolutely. You are great, you know? You are amazing.

Let's all care for the ALS community.

Care for the ALS community, thank you.

(999 COLD REMEDY)

Honey, how are you? Are you cold?

A little bit.

Come on, honey.

- Drink it. - Thanks, dear.

57,332 yuan, not bad, that's a fair amount.

I think I deserve more.

So many buckets, I thought it'd be at least 100,000 yuan.

50,000 yuan is a lot of money.

I didn't even expect to have this much.

I've never made this much in a single live stream.

Alright, it wasn't a waste of effort.

My husband is quite impressive.

Besides that, what else?

You're cool.

I'm good now.

Are you good now?

But I still need something.

I need a...

What is that?

It's just...

One more please.

Ji Jia has approved your four design proposals.

Huang Xiaolv will let you know the details later.

If you need to make any adjustments, do it as soon as possible.

Your salary will be based on Ji Jia's standard for external designers.

Okay, thank you, Leader.

Why thank me for the fruits of your labor?

No problem, send any good ideas or proposals to me as soon as possible.

Ji Jia has also organized a fundraiser to show their support.

On behalf of Dong Dong, thanks.

No worries.

I'm happy that you can continue designing.

Alright, that's it, you should rest early.

I'll come to see you soon. Give my regards to Que.

Come over for a meal when you have time.

Okay, goodbye.

Bye-bye.

Though only four proposals were approved,

I'm even more thrilled than when I designed the small dining table.

This shows that I'm doing well, I can still design, I can make money.

Come on, you're more than well!

We all raised donations for Dong Dong.

Only you earned money for Dong Dong.

You're the most impressive, come on, here's a reward for you.

We got enough money for Dong Dong! We've succeeded!

We've succeeded!

That's great!

We got enough money for Dong Dong!

That's great!

I'll call Dad.

Honey, our baby is saved!

They have raised the money for us.

Please thank them for me, thank you.

I will.

Thank them for me.

I will.

Take care, honey. I will thank them.

Dear.

Tuo, Que, Guangpu, Lan, thank you.

Yan.

Come on, get up.

Don't do this.

Please don't do this.

Yan, please get up.

Just get up first.

Just get up.

Dong Dong, we are going to Beijing for medical treatment.

We'll ride big horse, isn't it good?

Yan, don't cry, what's the matter?

I'm too happy.

Come here, Dong Dong, you'll ride big horse.

(You'ai Rehabilitation Nursing Home)

Ms. Xu, how come you are here?

Eating so late?

Just finished my work. Ms. Xu, please come in.

Sorry, the room is too small.

- Sit - Okay.

It's alright.

The chair might be a little crooked, be careful.

It's fine. I bought an outfit for Dong Dong.

You shouldn't have.

It's not expensive, take it.

Thank you.

It's all cold now. Won't it upset your stomach?

I'm used to it, haven't had a hot meal in years.

Eat what you have, right?

We tough folks are sturdy.

Not only tough, you've become superwoman.

If only I could be superwoman.

At least a superwoman could save her child.

Only a mother can save her child.

Isn't that what you've always been doing?

To treat Dong Dong's illness, we've run up a lot of debts.

His dad even went to Guangdong to make money.

Believe it or not,

together, his dad and I

only spend 300 yuan a month on living expenses.

I'm staying here in the hospital with Dong Dong.

Our director is a good person. He gave me a job as a janitor,

and got me such a good place to stay.

Otherwise, my child would have been long gone.

Dong Dong's illness has changed the fate of our whole family.

Yes, let alone you,

Tuo's dad and I both work in medical services.

It wasn't until our own son got this illness

that we realized what it means to be helpless.

We're really helpless.

We gave birth to him. We've been working hard to raise him.

And then one day...

I really dare not imagine

if Tuo...

But isn't he getting better now?

You're about to leave. Dong Dong is so sweet.

So many people love and help him, he will surely recover.

Thank you.

Keep fighting, Dong Dong is our hope.

Come on, give me a kiss.

(You'ai Rehabilitation Nursing Home)

One more.

Give him a kiss.

One more please.

Come forward.

Thank you all for taking care of us.

Thank you for giving Dong Dong a second chance, thank you.

It's fine. Don't forget me, Dong Dong.

Okay.

Keep it up, Dong Dong. Remember to video call me.

Come back healthy and strong, okay?

Understood.

Understood.

See you later.

- Okay. - See you.

Take care.

- Bye. - Have a safe journey.

Bye.

Safe travels, bye.

Goodbye.

All set.

Auntie, I'll go get some water.

Okay, thanks.

(Ward Five)

Hello, are you here to see Yilan?

I've seen you several times, why don't you go in?

Are you her fiance?

I've heard her mention you. You're Xing Kai, right?

It's not that I haven't tried.

When I first found out Yilan was sick,

I told her no matter how much it cost, I will stay with you to cure it.

I said let's get married.

Yilan wouldn't marry me, she said her illness could not be cured.

She'll be a burden to me if we get married.

One time I came home late from work,

I saw her taking sleeping pills.

I made her throw up and called emergency services.

I just held her tight, waiting for the ambulance.

I was so scared of something like that happening again.

So I quit my job and took care of her around the clock.

But I had to take care of my parents

who are from the countryside and don't have much money.

If I don't work, I won't have money,

and we won't survive.

I couldn't possibly give up on my parents, right?

But no matter what, I've let Yilan down.

Later, when I left, Yilan told me

she could never forgive me in this lifetime.

When I went to see her again, she was so mad.

After that, I didn't dare to see her anymore.

Then why did you come back?

I'm about to get married and move to Shanghai.

I want to see her one last time before I leave.

You're afraid you'll never see her again?

Is there anything I can help you with?

We can't forgive him on her behalf.

But we can help them fulfill this wish.

Even if they can't forgive each other.

Right.

Que, every day, my fear grows,

as does my gratitude to you.

Why are you suddenly saying this?

How many people can truly stand firm in the face of reality?

Did Xing Kai do something wrong?

Just because he didn't give up on his own life?

And how many can truly give up?

If it were up to me,

I wouldn't want you to give up your own life for me.

I would want you to leave me.

But the one making the choice is me.

You have no idea.

It's not that you can't leave me, but that I can't leave you.

What about your own life?

This is my life now.

Coming. Coming.

Mr. An.

Mr. Lin, what a surprise!

Well, I just wanted to have a talk with you.

No problem.

Is it okay?

Of course, feel free to come by anytime.

Come in, please.

Well.

No need to take off your shoes, please come inside.

Take a seat.

Here, I've just whipped up a few random dishes.

- Thanks. - Hope you enjoy.

That's really nice of you.

Dig in.

Come on.

I really didn't expect you to come here, really.

Mr. An, I've wanted to have a good talk with you for a long time.

I never had the chance.

I've also wanted to talk to you.

The problem is, as a driver, I can't reach you...

Not at all. Look.

Big brother, you see...

Big brother? Between the two of us, who is older?

You are. I have asked Que.

You seem to be two years older than me.

I'm a Rat.

Tiger.

I was born in March. What about you?

End of February.

Then maybe we are both Pisces.

Right.

Let's drink to Pisces, cheers.

Come on, let me fill it up for you.

Cheers.

Big brother,

no one knows what they will face in life.

What do you think?

Yes.

We have lived almost half our lives now.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring, right?

Regardless,

we can drink here today, we should thank our lucky stars, cheers.

Come on, I don't thank my lucky stars,

I thank you for raising such a good daughter.

I really do.

You've raised such a good daughter.

Kind, right? She's good to everyone.

It is fair to say that

your daughter gave my son a second chance at life.

Big brother.

To be honest with you,

when I first learned about Tuo's illness,

I didn't agree to let Que take care of him.

Because my wife died of illness.

I took care of her from the time she got ill until she passed away.

I know what those days were like.

I didn't want Que to suffer through that.

Big brother, you can

understand

me, right?

But Que

just left home with her suitcase.

At the time, I was thinking,

she won't be able to hold on for long.

Maybe she can't bear the hardship and will come back soon.

But unexpectedly, she didn't quit.

And she did quite a good job, didn't she?

At that time, I knew I was wrong.

Why did I stop her in the first place?

I should've just let her go.

In this kind of situation,

shouldn't we all work together to move forward?

But I was holding everyone back.

No matter how strong or brave our children are,

they still need parents' support.

Isn't that right?

An, now that you mention it,

I feel ashamed, really.

You do not know what kind of person I am at home.

I have always been self-righteous.

No.

I have always felt that I am the head of the household,

and everyone has to listen to me.

You don't know how I usually treat my children and my wife.

I regret that.

Until my son became so seriously ill...

An, I truly regret it.

What have I been doing all this time?

I've lived for so long,

why did it take me until now to understand it?

What's the use of all the books I have read?

I feel like I've failed as a father and a husband.

Big brother, that's too harsh.

In fact, you love your family so much.

You just haven't expressed it. I can understand.

We think that men who talk about

love and emotions all day are too sentimental.

But now, thinking about it,

what's wrong with loving them?

Having a wife and children to love, that's such a happy thing.

Why wait until it's almost over, someone's leaving,

to regret not saying it?

I deeply understand this feeling.

When my wife was leaving, on her deathbed,

she held my hand and said, 'An, I can't accompany you any longer.'

At that moment, as I was holding her, I thought,

why didn't I spend more time with her?

Why didn't I stay by her side at home?

Now that she's gone, when I think of her,

I wonder why I acted that way.

But that's useless, you know.

An.

I really regret it.

You know, life is short.

We are halfway through ours.

If we want to love, let's love deeply, right?

Yes, sometimes I think

we are all parents, aren't we?

But what exactly does it mean to be parents?

Give it your all, I suppose.

We are parents, we brought our children into this world.

So we should raise them well.

But once they become adults,

they have to venture out on their own, earn money,

make choices, and live their own lives.

Yes.

So, our greatest purpose is

to be there for them when they are tired,

to offer a shoulder to lean on when they are upset,

to be the home they can always return to

no matter what difficulties

they encounter.

That's why we're here.

Right.

We're here, so our child feels reassured, right?

An, now I understand.

Que has a good father.

Come on, here's another toast to you.

Come on.

You flattered me. I believe

it's fate for our children to be together and to get to know each other.

So, let's be there for them and see it through.

No matter who leaves first among us,

the one who remains has to support them,

and help them finish this journey well.

Done, you look pretty.

Take a look, you like it?

My dream was to become a ballet dancer,

with a swan neck like yours.

Forget it, your temperament would turn ballet into a comic duet.

I can make a joke out of you right now.

My dear, my point is I want to make you happy for the rest of my life.

Wow, then spin around to cheer me up.

No problem.

The two of you have such a great relationship,

not inferior to Tuo and Que at all.

Compared to others, we're okay.

But to them, there's still a gap.

They're like a movie couple,

while we are more like the most normal couple in your neighborhood.

We haven't had any remarkable experiences yet.

But I hope that the two of us

can just continue to live like this. That would be very fortunate.

Yes, living peacefully is the greatest happiness.

You ready?

We are. Check it out.

- Let me see. - A fairy lady.

Pretty, I can at most make myself look like a maid within an hour.

Nonsense.

What exactly are we dressed up for, anyway?

I've arranged for a photographer to shoot a free set of portraits for us.

Right.

For free, it would be a waste not to go.

Where is it? Is it far?

He's the one calling the shots. Let's just follow his lead.

Exactly.

- Let's go. - Go.

We're leaving, let's go.

We're leaving now? Where is Tuo?

He's in the car, and we can go straight away.

- Grab your things. - Let's go.

We're off.

Let's go.

Yeah, just come to our cafe and livestream with me when you're free.

You are pretty, you'll attract many fans.

Yeah, when we make money, we can split it.

It enriches our spare time, and we can make some extra money. It's great.

Moneygrubber.

Can I do it?

Sure.

If they can do it, why can't you?

Yilan, look at that street on your right.

Our cafe is at the end of it.

So it's right here?

I really envy the bond between you guys.

Xing Kai, Yilan said she would like to meet you.

Okay.

This is your first solo dance.

It's also the first gift you gave me.

I've kept it until now.

(La Corsaire)

I could never have imagined by then

that one day I wouldn't be able to perform on stage or dance anymore.

I'm not doing this to earn your forgiveness.

I don't deserve forgiveness.

I just want to do something for you.

I understand. You're trying to make up for your inner guilt.

Actually, you have nothing to feel guilty about.

You're just being realistic.

Yilan, I'm sorry.

You know I have a terminal illness.

My life has entered the countdown.

I don't blame you anymore, it's all in the past.

After you left, I figured out a lot of things.

I don't want to owe anyone anymore.

No one can carry another person's life.

Go live your life, I will carry on.

And I won't do anything foolish again.

Because now I have good friends of my own.

It's them who showed me what true love

and friendship are in this world.

I want to live well with them.

It's also them who made me understand

that forgiving the unforgivable is the best reconciliation with oneself.

My life is not just about the stage,

and it doesn't have to be with the one I love.

I guess I can accept a life with regrets.

Thank you for taking care of me wholeheartedly

during my worst days,

fulfilling my wish, and helping me. Thanks.
