[Auditorium, Civil Affairs
Vocational and Technical College]

When I'm the judge at
the funeral services competition every year,

I always begin with the same opening line:

[The 10th Professional Funeral Services
Technique Competition]

Every one lives with death.

Some believe that death isn't
the end of life, but its completion.

However, most of them refuse to talk about death,

make a will,

or sign a Do-Not-Resuscitate order in advance.

All this stems from the fear of death.

But an unprepared death can disrupt all plans.

There is no chance left
to express true feelings to loved ones...

or to leave any words for families.

So,

the sooner we realize that death is inevitable,

the more calmly...

we can prepare.

[Will Love In Spring]

"Lover" by She Mu Si]

[Episode 21]

[A month earlier]

Liao.

Grandma Chen.

I didn't see you at your store just now,
and I guessed you must be at home.

I brought you some vegetables.

You can cook for your children.
It helps ward off feverish heat.

I feel so bad to trouble you to bring them over.

I was thinking of sending you
some bamboo shoots lately.

Liao, I know you are busy,
so I will cut right to the chase.

Well, I came here with a purpose.
I have something to ask of you.

We are family. Please don't say that.

If you don't mind and are willing to see me
as your family, I couldn't be happier.

Our children have engaged. Of course, we are a family.

Zhuang Jie isn't considerate enough.
I'm worried she might get to you.

I have been meaning to apologize to you,
but I feel ashamed.

It's all right that Jie pursues her career.

Dong just can't bear to leave her
and he gets a bit upset.

Please bear with him.

Oh, no. Please don't blame Maidong.

I didn't expect Zhuang Jie to make that decision.

My child is concerned about her severed leg,
and she has been driven since she was little.

No one can stop her from doing anything she wants.

That being said, this is also why
I don't have to worry about her studies or job.

It's the same for Dong.

He may seem to keep to himself.

But when it comes to serious matters,
he knows what he is doing.

He especially told me not to meddle in this.

So, I just came here once without telling him.

Dong surely cares about Jie deep inside.

Could you please ask Jie to approach Dong more?

If they stop meeting each other,
they might grow apart.

Please don't worry. My daughter is stubborn.

Besides Maidong,
she hasn't treated anyone else like this.

That's good, then.

Let's not bother ourselves with them anymore.

Right. It's simply unnecessary
to worry about them both.

Let me help you.

Sure.

I'm going to cook this for them this noon.

Jie, everyone has got your back.

Don't worry and go ahead to get Dong.

Jie, I'm at your command. I go where you point me to.

Zhuang Jie,

- talk us through the details.
- All right.

- Ms. Zhuang is here.
- Thank you for coming.

I believe you all have read the proposal,
so I won't go into the details.

All of you here are the top-notch players
in the medical industry.

I believe we all have a consensus.

That is, building advanced Chinese medical devices

is the essential fundamental
for promoting a healthcare system

with multiple layers of medical services.

As of now, the biggest problem we are facing is

the desynchronization between upstream
and downstream industry chains.

Many institutes are devoted
to developing new products,

but they work independently.

So, we created this platform
to build a cross-disciplinary

and complementary team
that covers biomedical materials,

mechanical engineering, and more fields.

Not only that, we will also delve deeply
into this area over the long term

in an attempt
for the domestic top-tier brand to take off.

The biggest specialty of us as salespeople before
was our persistence.

Now that we are starting our own business,
we will stick to it.

We welcome you all to join us.

The more talented people we gather,
the closer we are to the goal.

Thank you, everyone.

- Bravo.
- Bravo.

I would like to collaborate with you.

That's great.

This is our business card.

Just call me Zhuang.

Wang Xixia, the company just got on track,
and you are leaving now.

You can't go.

Zhuang Jie, are we still on this?

Moving is tiring. Why are you bugging me non-stop?

Don't move, then.

A woman in her prime should stay with another woman.

Why bother getting married?

Who was the one that tried so hard
to shove us together?

All right. Easy.

Wang Xixia, why don't the three of us
live together? I will pay for the food.

No way. I'm planning to have children soon.

Don't get in my way.

I had the same plan before.

But it's no use. Forget about the children,
I don't even have a man.

You just left him.
Have you lost your fighting spirit already?

My spirit is burning.

The point is, I can't do this all on my own.

Chen Maidong is hard to please.
He has been leaving me hanging.

- Zhuang Jie...
- I hate you. Don't try to talk.

Don't be mean to my husband.

Can you believe this? I slave away at work every day.

When I get off work,
I have to watch you lovey-dovey couple.

Well, let's not annoy her.

Zhuang Jie, I would like to trade some news
for your forgiveness in return.

Go on.

I heard that Nanping has officially submitted

the proposal for the medical tourism pilot zone
to the provincial government.

I don't get it. What does this have to do
with you asking my forgiveness?

Is that true?

Nanping is a small town.
Can it really become a pilot zone?

That's a big deal.

I know my wife is sharp.

Nanping has been known for its tourism
in the province in recent years.

It's also modest in scale
and feasible as a pilot zone.

Starting next week, the town government
starts gathering people for ideas.

Do you have any ideas?

Cui Ge, I forgive you
for everything you have done.

I'm heading back to Nanping to make this happen.

Wait, hold your horses.

Don't be so extreme, will you?

You see, this is a big thing at the government level.

How can you make this happen?

It's the taking part that counts, you know?

Previously, when I helped
Yanggou Village sell Chinese yams,

I knew nothing at all before doing all that.

As long as we can get into
the first batch of the professional team,

the town government will take us.

I have been racking my brain these days thinking
about how to move this Chen-Maidong earth,

now Cui Ge has given me the lever I need.

If there is a bridge linking me and Nanping,
the problem came between us can be solved.

Look, Zhuang Jie has it in her, doesn't she?

Flies don't attack a crackless egg.

However, the first fly to notice a crack
in the egg must be none other than her.

Wang Xixia, can you speak nicer?

You are worse than your husband.

You should call me a bellwether, not a fly.

I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but between you and Chen Maidong,

you have to take it slowly.

He isn't as easy as a crackable egg.

Do you think I haven't done anything
for the past few months?

It's time for my aides to take action.

I have many watchful eyes over this egg for me.

Dong, I'm not bothering you, am I?

No.

I need a model too.

It's almost the summer break.
Why are you back earlier?

I miss home, so I come back at weekends.

Listen, if you ever mention Jie, I will leave.

I don't have time for you both.

I haven't talked to my mom so far yet.

Close your eyes.

So tell me. Why did you quarrel with her again?

Dong, do you also think I'm a weirdo?

No. You are pretty good.

Only you think that way, my mom doesn't.

I have realized that I'm weird since I was little.

My mom always says that Jie and I
were born in the wrong genders.

My bad. I didn't mean to mention Jie.

Again?

Dong, you are oversensitive.

No, your family is cunning.

He Niaoniao used all kinds of reasons to see me
and tried to brainwash me.

Dong, I told you.
I came here for my own problem.

I don't have time to worry about you and Zhuang Jie.

Get over yourself.

Fine. It's my fault.

Go on.

To be honest, I was seeing someone last semester.

We met online.

Her surname is Ji.

I didn't tell anyone about this.

No wonder Jisan Goose also has that surname.

What happened?

However, once I dated this girl, I realized...

I don't like her.

Have you told your sister about this?

I thought you didn't want me to mention her.

So, this is the argument between you and your mom?

This is serious, you know?

I told her about this over the phone the other day.

She just exploded. She never let me finish my piece.

Actually, I wanted to tell her
that I can't date a girl, but I'm still trying.

I'm just confused why I'm so different from others.

I think you mishandled this.

You shouldn't have told your mom
when you haven't figured it out yourself.

Dong, how long does it take
for one to truly know themselves?

You came to the wrong person. I'm in a mess myself.

But I know there is a gulf between
the perceptions of the two generations.

Don't confront each other
because of your differing thoughts.

You have to trust your family.

Dong, is my sister considered your family too?

Shouldn't you have more trust in her?

Gosh, you and your family.

Ridiculous.

Dong, you said I shouldn't have told Mom about that.

You see, had you and my sister been fine,
I wouldn't have brought this up to her first.

It's your fault for ignoring her.

She is now too miserable
to care about He Niaoniao and me.

At the end of the day, you are to blame.

If you and her were fine, I wouldn't annoy my mom
when I wasn't in my right mind.

So, can you please visit my house and comfort my mom?

Dong, you are no better than me, though.

I'm going back to campus tomorrow.

You have to drive me to the train station.

Don't forget, Dong.

Thank you, Dong.

There is no need.

Focus on your studies and stop upsetting your mom.

Dong, when will you stop icing out my sister?

This is our business. Don't worry about that.

This isn't a business between you two.
I'm suffering too.

Zhuang Yan,

you are a simple boy.

I know what I'm doing.

Jie, what a coincidence.

Zhuang...

What a coincidence.

Yan, safe trip.

We will come to fetch you next time.

Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

Do you miss me?

I really do miss you very much.

Master.

Check for me on how to file
a case for sexual harassment.

Get back to me later.

Jeez.

Chen Maidong,

jokes aside, you told me to think it through
when I got back to Shanghai.

I have been trying very hard every day.

I came back this time

because I heard that the town government
is planning a medical tourism pilot zone.

This is perfectly aligned with my startup plan.

I wonder which insightful townsman
had such a foresight.

Supposedly, I should lead this case.

Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

Mayor.

Mr. Su.

Honestly, I'm not familiar with the pilot zone.

I met Mr. Su through Hedgehog.

But you have come to a consensus
in such a short period,

I believe Mayor and Madam Wu
must have done a lot of work.

The credit should go to you.

Master, I checked it.

You can call 110 for sexual harassment.

Xilun, long time no see.

Jie?

It was you in the car?

Let me do it.

Order a cab to send her home.

Jie, I...

No, Xilun. Go on with your work.

I'm free today. I will wait
until Chen Maidong gets off work.

He's still mad at me. How petty.

He can at least pick a fight with me.
What's this all about?

I apologized to him.
Does he have to drag this on and on?

Am I right?

Say something.

I think there must be a reason
why he doesn't speak to you.

You should reflect on yourself.

Mom, which side do you take?

Niaoniao, why the silence?

I... I have nothing to say.

Anyway, Dong is nice to whenever I see him.

He bought me stationery the other day.

But he never mentioned you.

Traitor.

You guys only sit here and doing nothing.

Give me some ideas.

Or you can give me some useful information.

Well, I do realize that Dong has changed.

How so?

The way he dresses has changed.

Ask Mom.

I also notice that.

I don't think so.

Today, he is wearing the jacket I bought him.

It's the shirt inside. You didn't notice that, right?

Anyway, all the outfits Dong wears now
are especially bright.

His shoes are striking as well.

The peacock is spreading its feathers, huh?

That's rude.

Maidong has always been handsome.

It's just that he dresses better now.

I used to be the one who decided his outfit.

Why are you so nosy when you have already left?

He Niaoniao, do your homework.

Mom, aren't we being too harsh?

No. She is overconfident that Maidong won't leave her.

It's good to break her spirit.

[You decide which path you take.]

What's this?

Wang Xixia, you gave me a stupid idea
to get Chen Maidong's attention before.

I have tons of them. Which one?

We went to dinner with a former colleague
before and took a picture.

You said my eyes look seductive.

Oh, the photo that you look quite sexy, right?

Yes, that one.

Post it on your Moments
and make it visible only to Chen Maidong.

Also, tag him in that post and see if he replies.

Didn't you say my idea was stupid and cheap?

I don't care about all that now.
Chen Maidong is leaving me.

[Today: Meeting at the town council at 8 AM]
[An unread message]

Chen Maidong didn't reply.

[Great Man: How precious the spring is.
Don't miss out on sunshine and exercise~]

A tilde?

You seem quite happy, Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

How did you get in here?

Am I not allowed in your room anymore?

I'm taking a shower. You go out first.

No. We must talk today.

I'm cold. Let me get dressed first before we talk.

I was cold yesterday.

You know that my leg has a problem,

yet you left me at your unit
till the middle of the night.

Are you sure? I had Feng Xilun inform you
just when I left.

Wait. Let me get dressed first.

No one can cover my shift if I catch a cold.

Chen Maidong, do you plan to leave me
and find another woman?

That's so typical of you.

You always speak without thinking it through.
You are never sincere.

I'm never sincere?

I have been explaining and
apologizing to you over the past months.

You are hard to please.

That's the problem.

You always try all sorts of tricks
to please me as if I'm a kid.

But I can't feel your sincerity at all.

Chen Maidong, I don't know what to do now.

You are never satisfied with anything I do.
Could you please show me the right way?

I'm not your client.
You don't have to please me as if it were a task.

I hope you can think carefully and properly
about what kind of life makes you happier.

That's the point.

Wang Xixia, I have never felt so anxious before.

I think Chen Maidong has already gotten over me.

What if he means to break up with me?

I'm going to give a presentation at the town council.

But I want to cry now.

Hello?

Zhuang Jie, get a grip.

Chen Maidong is stubborn.
It's not easy for him to fall for someone.

How could he just turn off his feelings
like turning off a tap?

If he's stubborn, you can be even more stubborn.

Think about this. When you were a rookie salesperson,

you got so much of the cold shoulder from clients.
Did you forget this?

When you waited for the client's door,
the pet dog peed on you. Don't you remember that?

You even slept on the Healthcare Street
with your luggage for over a week.

Did you forget all this?

You were full of spirit
when you were in Shanghai.

Why have you ended up like a crier
when you are back in Nanping?

Stop scolding me.

Zhuang Jie, soldier on. All right?

I know you are right.

I have to get myself together
no matter how hard it is.

At least, he didn't take away my ring.

I hope you can think carefully and properly
about what kind of life makes you happier.

That's the point.

Now I get it.

Our ways of expressing ourselves
have been very different.

You always think I'm facetious.

And I don't know how to change it.

After all, I have gotten used to laughing
when I talk about sad things over the years.

But now, I'm going to say this very seriously.

I genuinely like you
and I sincerely want to get engaged with you.

I have never seen you as a trophy to show off.

I really need you.

I want to spend my life with no one else
but you, no matter what.

But I understand I can't force things.

If you are fed up with me or...

you have gotten over me, you can tell me.

Well. Since you have asked so,

I will be frank with you...

Something is wrong with your tone.
I don't want to listen to it now.

Do you have any requests for your future husband?

Ask away.

I want a study upstairs.

Only this?

Because you are good enough.
I don't want to be greedy.

What about you? What's yours?

None.

As long as it's you, everything is the best.

Your things have been moved out.

Only you are left. Let's go.

You are sweating.

Did you take everything?

So fast.

- Cui.
- What's wrong, Ms. Wang?

I don't know why I suddenly...

feel a bit conflicted.

What do you mean?

Actually, this place is closer to my office.

Besides, I'm worried about Zhuang Jie.

Wait, hear me out.

No.

Let me tell you this.
Chen Maidong won't ice her out for long.

You will only be in their way once they make up.

So, just come with me.

As you can see from this slide,
healthcare industry has a great prospect in China.

We created this platform,
attempting to build a cross-disciplinary

and complementary team

that covers medical material,
mechanical engineering, and more fields.

Our ultimate goal is to provide
multiple layers of medical services,

which resonates with the concept of
a medical tourism pilot zone in the town.

Mayor,

everyone,

am I too presumptuous to put myself forward
to propose this plan without informing?

No, not at all. We have so much to learn from you.

Please don't see me
as some kind of professional expert.

Just consider me a part of Nanping.

Previously, someone said this to my face.

He said I didn't feel attached to Nanping

because I only came here when I was a teenager
and I gave empty promises.

The one who said this was Chen Maidong.

But I have to admit that he is right.

Before this,

I helped Yanggou Village sell Chinese yams
because I wanted to prove myself.

But now, I just want to do my bit
for the hometown from my heart.

Of course, it's also because of Chen Maidong.

As his name implies,

it may seem like weeds, but it's also a useful herb.

It grows in the wild,
yet is refreshing and nourishes the lungs.

I have lucked out to meet Chen Maidong at this age.

Because I have come across some paths
and people and made mistakes.

That's why I truly understand that a vast world
isn't merely geographical,

but also about a fulfilled heart.

I want to contribute to
the medical tourism pilot zone in my hometown.

As this will make me feel
that I'm closer to my loved ones,

not just in physical distance,
but also in shared values.

Jie, well said.

Let me continue to elaborate on my proposal.

Go on.

♫ Even if you miss out on the sunset ♫

♫ Your gaze set my surroundings ablaze ♫

♫ The gentle night breeze
and the scent of summer pine ♫

♫ Still come to mind ♫

♫ The ray of sunlight in the drizzle.

♫ Grabbing a piece of moonlight ♫

♫ Spilling it toward

♫ Even if you miss out on the sunset ♫

♫ Your gaze set my surroundings ablaze ♫

Are you here to see me off?

Yeah.

You wouldn't let me finish speaking that day,
so I can only continue here.

I'm sorry, Chen Maidong.

During this period, I have made many proposal plans.

Still, I couldn't plan out our future.

Because it's never your own business.

But you were so mad at me last time.

Zhuang Jie, haven't you worked it out yet?

What I mind is never that
you are going back to Shanghai.

It's that you don't see me as your partner

even though you have already chosen
to get engaged to me.

I thought...

You thought you did it for my sake and ours.

But have you realized that
you always made the decision yourself?

You don't trust me completely.

Right, I didn't consider you.

I like that you are smart, independent,
and have a mind of your own.

And because of that,

you flinch when there is a change in our relationship.

You fear that the future
might eat away your independence.

That's probably it.

Zhuang Jie,

I have never doubted your feelings for me.

But marriage can't be sustained
by impulsiveness or jolly jokes,

nor can strategy maintain it without tactics.

So, I wasn't giving you the cold shoulder
during this time.

I just hope you can see yourself more clearly...

and not make any decisions you regret
because of pressure.

Go back to Shanghai.

For our future,

we will figure something out.

I didn't think I did anything wrong.

But why do I feel guilty?

It's never easy for girls
to juggle love life and career.

You did your best.

Chen Maidong,

do you remember that I told you...

to learn to love someone
instead of waiting to be loved?

You have done so much better than I do.

You taught me about love.

Next,

let's both learn to love.

♫ The bright moonlight ♫

♫ Gently caresses the tender wheat waves ♫

♫ You are more splendorous than spring ♫

♫ Leaning on your shoulder

Chen Maidong, how many times
do I have to tell you this?

Stop buying me food. I gained two kilograms.

But you said you didn't know what to eat
after Wang Xixia moved away.

Why don't we eat together from a distance?

Dear Dong,

I really wish to receive
everyone's bless together with you.

Zhang Hongxu.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you
and give each other warmth.

So cheesy.

How did it get delivered here?

Give me the card.

Chen Maidong, I just finished a lengthy meeting.

I guess I spoke more today than you do in a year.

[Pick up Zhuang Jie]

Whenever it gets closer to evening,
I miss Nanping even more.

The scooter bike takes me whenever I want to go.

To eat a bowl of noodles for less than ten yuan.

Most importantly, you are there.

If I weren't in this industry,
I might not have stayed in Nanping.

People always say we have plenty of days ahead.

But lives are unpredictable,

and there might not always
be a future to look forward to.

So, you should cherish wherever you are.
Did you hear me?

Chen Maidong,

I love you.

I love only you.

Chen Maidong,

I love you.

I love only you.

Chen Maidong, I love you.

I love you too.

I love you too.

When will we meet next?

Niaoniao,

I can't help with your homework today.

I came to Shanghai
to judge a funeral services competition.

Right.

I want to give Jie a surprise.

Don't tell her.

Miss, you must be a local here, right?

I have sharp eyes, you know?

Can you tell by my accent?

No, right?

I'm from Dongbei. I left home when I was young.

I have been to many places over the years.

But of all places, I prefer Shanghai.

It's as good as any other country.

Whenever I'm not driving,
I wander around to Yu Graden, Lujiazui,

and the City God Temple of Shanghai.

You have more opportunities to observe
and practice before your graduation.

If you are still determined
to stay in the funeral industry,

I hope you remember this.

The more honest we are,
the more at ease the families are.

You see, no one can really
plan their lives meticulously.

- We can only make decisions accordingly.
- Sir.

Sir. Sir!

Wait.

To me, there are only two kinds of partings:

Parting in life or parting by death.

I used to think that
the latter was the most painful thing.

However, just a few minutes ago,

when a parting in life
turned into a parting by death,

I suddenly realized that
the former is the scariest thing ever.

Zhuang Jie, I don't want to endure this anymore.

Right now, I don't want you
to leave my world in any way.

Are you all right?

[Deceased's information, Name: Liu Xuehong]

Your vehicle is bigger than mine.
Who can avoid this better?

You ought to be careful.

- I'm all right, sir. I'm good.
- I'm so sorry.

[Great Man]
You see, I have a family to feed.

What if something bad happens to me?

Sir, go to the train station.

All right.

Maybe you should answer your phone first.
It keeps vibrating.

♫ Hidden by the strong wind unknowingly ♫

You called me?

Zhuang Jie, where are you now?

I'm heading back to Nanping to find you.

Wait for me.

I mean, wait for me at Shanghai Station.

What a coincidence to see you here.

Not really.

I came here for you.

Still, it is a coincidence. Many people are here.

Where are we going?

It doesn't matter where we go.

From now on,

there are only two places in my world,
without you or without you.

Wherever you are, that's my home.

I know.

From today on,

let's not live by days.

Let's live by seconds.

Every time I serve as a judge
in the funeral services competition,

there is a closing line I often use.

I read it from a book.

Many think that enlightenment is
when you face death calmly at any time

and under any circumstances.

But in fact, real enlightenment is,

at any time and under any circumstances,

you live your life with a calm heart.

Jie.

He Niaoniao.

Noisy. What do you want?

How did it come back?

Wasn't the gate locked?

It was.

Did Jisan Goose become sentient or something?

As if.

I left the gate unlocked.

Mom, look.

It brought another goose back.

Jeez, another mouth to feed.

Should we return it to the goose farm?

The goose farm is rich.
They won't care if one runs away.

It's terrible to force a couple to break up.

Nonsense.

Either we give them a call or we buy the goose.

It's their business whether to take the goose back.

We can't be as terrible to take advantage of them.
