(Gen Z)

(Episode 31)

To work for the benefit of others and for the benefit of society,

if your heart is in the right place,

you'll be able to bring together all the forces from all directions

to make things happen.

That's why there is this saying,

"unity is strength".

So, if a person thinks of

getting something out of this guy

and something out of that guy every day,

his heart is not in the right place,

so he can't do a good job.

Even if he can,

he will need to pay in double.

Master.

Well, I have a friend.

Previously, she has had this

impure

and thoughts for personal gain.

But it so happened that her wishes are fulfilled.

What should she do?

You should do more good deeds then

to slowly repay it,

but provided that

you can't be too wrong.

How do you know it's me?

No, it's not me.

I know.

It's my friend.

I'm doomed!

I keep thinking about it and...

And this time, Meng Meng asked me for help.

But I missed it.

If I keep losing points like this,

I can't be a TCM practitioner?

You can.

Can I?

It's just that you're not very skilled in treating patients.

That doesn't work either.

Look, a brilliant doctor

is someone virtuous.

That's to say, many people are grateful to him.

The more this gratitude is gathered.

it'll become like...

The legs of compasses.

It will get longer

and the circle will become bigger.

Thus, more people are covered.

He's not like the inexperienced doctor like you who has short legs.

Take your time. You'll get better.

I feel tasteless.

How great it'd be if there's a piece of cake to eat.

It's been a while since the last time we celebrate a happy occasion.

Why doesn't anyone have a birthday?

There seems to be someone in our family who hasn't celebrated a birthday yet.

Tou Tou.

Grandpa.

I want the chestnut cake with thick cream.

Tou Tou should be choosing the cake since it's her birthday.

Let's not tell her first. Let's surprise her.

She grew up in a welfare home.

She doesn't even know when her birthday is. How is she celebrating?

The more she needs to celebrate it.

This is a philosophical proposition.

Humans need to know

where they come from and where they go,

if they are materialistic or idealistic.

Alright.

We've decided then.

Aren't we going to make rice wine in two days?

Order the cake as well.

Chestnut cake with thick cream.

Grandpa.

You are trying to kill me.

If I really order that cake,

my mom and grandma will play women's doubles

and push me to the ground and beat me repeatedly?

Well, I keep you little thing

just so that you can take the beatings for me.

Okay, Grandpa.

Thick cream, okay?

By the way, Master, that...

Have you watched Meng Meng's video?

What do you have in mind?

It's all in the past.

Let Meng Meng rest in peace.

I think...

I think no matter what,

we should show it to her parents.

I think they have misunderstood their daughter.

Who knows? It might be pathological.

Look, in the end,

a girl like her

walked away with shame.

We didn't care about her.

I just feel that it's quite...

Those were Meng Meng's last words.

She wrote to you.

It's her trust in you.

I think

let's not tell her parents.

If her parents know what she did was because of her illness,

they will regret it forever.

So, let's not do things like this.

In the end,

we just hope that those who are alive

live better.

Those who are alive live better.

Drink some dried tangerine peel.

Why did you drag me here?

I want to confess something to you.

What bad thing did you do?

Your dad said this.

We can't simply wish for something

and have it come true.

If we do that, we will be punished.

Does my dad need to tell you this? Animated cartoons have taught us.

For example, in "Lao Mountain Taoist",

and "The Story of the Goldfish and the Farmer", it's in these cartoons.

Actually, I came here

half of it is because of money.

The other half is because...

Because of what?

Because I want to court you.

Such a bold idea.

How could you have this thought?

And you even succeeded.

That's right!

I didn't know it would come true.

And why would your dad pass this down to me?

I didn't know it was so powerful.

Looks like you've gotten my dad's handed-down teachings.

You've ruined my life.

-You'll have to pay back. -I will pay you back.

How are you going to pay?

Let me.

How are you going to pay?

Break up.

What?

Break up.

That's impossible.

How could you return it when your wish has come true?

I must return this.

The wishes I want to make are very precious.

And I want to use it in Chinese medicine.

All the merits I have accumulated so hard

are all gone because of this.

It's not worth it at all.

Please understand me.

I feel very bad, really.

I'm being torn too.

But there's nothing I can do.

Starting now,

let's just

pretend nothing has happened, okay?

Sun Tou Tou.

Who do you take me for?

You haven't learned my father's skills, but you've become like him.

I never understood why my mom was always angry with my dad.

But I understand now.

Whenever there is a conflict about Chinese medicine,

my mom will be the one who is sacrificed.

Your dad has said this.

-Willing... -No.

You can't do this.

Like me at this second and then doesn't like me in the next second.

But we'll only get something if we let go of others.

Confucius also said that

humans can do anything they like as long as they don't break the rules.

Ask your heart.

Do you want to let me go or get me?

I don't know!

I know.

It's easy.

Just put your mind into Chinese medicine.

As for our matter,

let me get an idea about it.

Let me think about it.

What does this mean?

I'm getting an idea.

You should do this.

Alright.

The merits I accumulated over the past twenty years

is used on our matter.

You're still mine.

What about the merits you accumulate for the rest of your life?

I'll keep it for my other favorite things in the future.

Hey, decency is no joke.

I said "favorite things", not "favorite person".

What are you worried about?

I guess it's becoming a good doctor.

Me too.

Bingo.

(Autumn heralds the end of summer.)

(Beware of the "autumn tiger",

the interim season of sweltering heat before the temperatures plummet.)

(When the weather is turning cold,

the crops begin to ripen as well.)

(Beginning of Autumn)

Come, come. Have a seat.

Zhao.

You've been here for three months.

-Yes. -How do you feel?

At first, I didn't know how to do it.

But I'm good at it now.

Colleagues treat me well.

Look at you.

A talented student after all! Your learning ability is different.

Mr. Wu really gave us a good person.

Thank you, sir.

Zhao, I asked for you today

because I have something to ask for your help.

Ask for my help?

Sir, how can I help you?

Take a seat.

You can do it.

Take it easy.

I'm not asking you to blow up bunkers.

Recently,

we've gotten the batch number of that batch of new medicine for the flu.

You know of this, right?

Yes.

My first task was this medicine.

I won't say much about the general information.

Well, it's like this.

The company

wants to push for this medicine this year.

It's best if it can be in the standing medicine list

of the tertiary hospitals in the city.

According to the process, tenders will be carried out in each hospital.

And we're about to put out the tender.

So, what I mean is,

I want to ask Mr. Wu for help

and see if he can reveal

other companies'

base price.

Look.

You're Mr. Wu's disciple and recommended by him.

Go and talk to him

about this.

Sir.

I don't know Mr. Wu very well.

It's not suitable for me to talk about this.

It's suitable.

It's suitable.

This is our tender.

And this.

Bring this along for Mr. Wu.

What does this mean?

This card is issued in your name.

The password are the last six digits of your ID.

Send this to him.

He just needs to spend it.

The amount here is not the final amount.

As long as Mr. Wu wants,

he can just name a figure and you just let me know.

A card issued in my name?

That's right.

Zhao.

Take it easy.

You're just a messenger for us.

If he is okay,

then everyone will be happy.

If he's not okay,

you just return the card to me.

This has nothing to do with you.

But

if you manage to do this,

the sales from the hospitals,

I'll give you one point.

As for how much this one point is,

I guess you don't need me

to calculate for you, right?

Mr. Wu.

There are many skilled physicians in our center.

Why did you choose Tou Tou who hasn't graduated?

Well, I think Tou Tou is good.

Moreover, you're doing business here.

I can't take away the spots from others.

You're right.

Hero, please be merciful.

You have a lot of strength but my body is soft.

It's still a bit lacking.

Don't worry, Senior.

I will hold back

when I massage you

I won't put in a lot of strength.

If you think I'm doing well today,

please compliment me in front of Ms. Dong.

I want to officially do this too.

What now?

Consultation with your master doesn't make money?

I'm not doing this for money.

I'm doing this to gain more length for the compasses.

You know about compasses legs too?

Do you know where this theory came from?

I don't know.

Anyway, Master told me that.

It sounds reasonable to me.

He got that theory from me.

How could he do that?

What he learns from you, he applies to me.

Well, we're juniors and seniors.

That's true though.

Senior.

So to speak,

your legs are longer.

You're great.

Don't flatter me.

I know how long my legs are.

Let's get down to business.

Between prescribing and acupuncture and Tuina,

which one do you prefer?

Well, it's hard for me to decide

because I think each has its own fun.

They have their good.

I actually like all of these.

Just like Ms. Dong.

She uses her hands to change her patients

to their old self, which is before getting the illness.

Don't you think it's amazing?

That's true though.

Is the strength good enough?

Okay.

-It's very good. -Tou Tou.

This gentleman insists on coming to you.

Dr. Sun.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Why did you come here?

I went to the center. They said you're here.

-So, I came here. -Go look for Tian Zhen.

Let him check on you. I'm busy.

No, Dr. Sun, listen to me.

I have sleepless nights.

I just want to hear you talk. Your words can make me de-stress.

I don't need any acupuncture treatments.

I want to chat with you too, but look, I'm busy.

Listen to me.

I don't mind other people listen to us, okay?

But they don't like to listen to you.

-You... -It's okay, Tou Tou.

You guys have a chat. I'll just take a nap.

You can ignore me.

Look.

-Have a nap first. -Sure.

What's wrong with you?

I filed for bankruptcy.

The bank is now taking the inventory.

I'll follow their instructions on what to do next.

Bankrupt?

That means, the tens of billions are gone.

Yes, they're gone.

You're doomed then!

You'll be beaten by those old men and women when you go out!

Well, they don't recognize me.

Probably it would happen to the celebrity who endorsed it.

-You're such a sinister. -I'm not.

Before the celebrity was endorsed,

he didn't know you were a liar.

How could you do this?

My master is right.

Some money is not meant for us.

No, I'm not a liar.

I wanted to invest through this and give the ordinary people a good return.

What did I do wrong?

You invested in things that you don't know!

And you still have the nerve to say it!

When things were good, they were good.

But things are bad now. Tell me, what can I do?

Let me tell you.

Things have come to this.

This is the bottom of the valley, isn't it?

You just

relax and have a good sleep.

Well, there's another thing.

I feel uneasy now.

Why?

I still have a sum of money overseas.

Listen.

When the business was good,

I transferred some one after another.

I thought that if I run away,

at least, I still have a business.

I'm just not sure about what should be done right now.

I can keep quiet about it.

But you know what?

When I close my eyes at night,

I see all the old men and women blocking me at the company.

I feel bad.

I can't bear the thought of it.

You said I fell sick because of a guilty conscience.

I thought you were spot on.

You were right.

Tell me.

If I leave like this,

will this disease stay with me forever?

Lu, the bold one.

My master once told me this.

He said humans have a debt

which is not in the bank.

It's in the sky.

You think you've hidden the debt.

You think people don't know about it.

But this debt

has been following you.

You can't run away from it.

Do you know

the character "kui"(ashamed)?

It's formed from a radical heart and the character "gui"(spirit).

Right? There's a spirit in your heart.

Someone with ulterior motives has a grim expression.

He'll have a weak body, thus suffering a lot of diseases.

If

you go abroad

because of the money

and don't return the money to the investors,

then you can never come back again.

You will die abroad

and it's hard to see your parents and friends again.

It'll be like this for the rest of your life.

Are you willing to pay such a price

for this money?

Ask your heart.

Well, I'm born evil.

If I were to take out all my property,

I would feel reluctant.

Do you know the Yinzhi lines?

-Yinzhi lines. -What lines?

So, when you're smiling,

there are three lines at this spot.

You have these lines.

-I have them? -Yes. Just smile.

-Go back and look in the mirror. -Okay.

These three lines.

Okay. So, Yinzhi lines

will only appear on the descendants

if the ancestors have accumulated a lot of merits.

So, the descendants with Yinzhi lines

will be safe and have a smooth life.

That's who you are.

You have this

because your ancestors have accumulated great merits.

If the ancestors don't accumulate merits and do bad things,

what's on the face

of their descendants?

Disabled?

Something scarier?

Disfigured?

Nothing. I was just scaring you.

But

they will be cursed by all.

Curse and scolded by everyone.

It's much more serious

than disfigured.

Don't scare me, Dr. Sun.

Yinzhi lines and those debt things...

This is a modern society.

We don't believe in this superstition, do we?

This is not a superstition.

It's a true belief.

We now have the clearest genealogy

of the descendants of Confucius.

He cultivated, preached, and practiced virtues.

This is why until today,

many people still go to worship him every day.

The Chinese used to name their children

with the characters of the names of trees.

For example, "song"(pine), "bai"(cypress) and "nan"(Chinese cedar).

But since having Qin Hui,

people no longer dare to use the word "hui" (Chinese juniper)

in their children's names.

But you must know this. In the past,

the Chinese juniper

is as precious as the Chinese cedar.

So, do you really think that everything you did

will lightly

be lost in time?

Your scoldings have woken me up.

I have made up my mind.

-You have made up your mind? -Yes.

-Have you really made up your mind? -Yes.

Good then.

Take this money out now

and return the money to the investors.

When they have peace of mind, you will have peace of mind.

When they have peace of mind,

you can fall asleep.

I can fall asleep.

Yes.

Today, I...

Luckily I came to you.

What you said has opened up my mind.

I'll go and get it done now.

Go now.

-I'll go and do it now. -Hurry up.

I'll go and do it now.

You're born kind, you know.

Very kind.

Someone is still lying here.

Senior.

Gosh.

I've totally forgotten about you.

How could you forget about this huge living thing here!

Listen, I forgot about you, really.

I forgot about you.

You know.

Tou Tou, you said it so well.

Today, I've learned something as well.

You've progressed a lot. You blew me away.

You're great.

Really?

Yes.

Is this strength good enough?

Very good.

You're becoming more skillful.

Well, remember to praise me in front of Ms. Dong then.

Don't worry. I'll handle this.

Okay.

You're here for Tuina again?

Why didn't you ask for Ms. Dong?

Well,

just keep Ms. Dong to yourself.

You two are like god versus god.

It's better for me to get Sun Tou Tou.

But she hasn't passed the exam.

Let me tell you.

Tuina

is very profound.

It's about getting along well.

Tou Tou gets along well with me.

I tried Tuina from all the physicians here.

I still think Tou Tou is the best.

You know, she is very talented.

Shan Dao.

I've been thinking about the bloodline.

When she first came, Sun Tou Tou

was just a crazy girl.

But look at her now.

She looks like an inheritor now.

She looks so real.

When you first brought her here,

I was

just following Master's instructions.

But you

have accepted her, aren't you?

I've been spending my whole life

cultivating discipleship.

After all these years of cultivation, I realized these two words.

Which two words?

"Don't disobey."

I did whatever Master told me to do.

You know what? I didn't expect that

after all the teachings,

I turned a monkey into a practitioner.

A good disciple like the one you have,

there'll be none in the future.

They will be extinct.

Which of the kids nowadays

can do this?

Don't disobey.

Let's see if Tou Tou can do it.

If she can do this,

that means her apprenticeship has come to an end.

I can then hand over my job.

Your words make a lot of sense.

Such a huge cordyceps.

We have kept it for years.

-What is this? -Lingzhi.

And the deer penis.

I saw that before.

Master!

Master!

Senior, please come in.

Prof. Ren

Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu.

Hello, Mrs. Zhu. I'm Mr. Wu, the principal.

-Hello, Mr. Wu. -Hello.

Look.

These are all Zhu's wishes.

He hoarded these treasures

but they're useless now.

So, I brought them for you.

Look at this.

It's 70-year-old wild ginseng.

The root is still intact.

Those two

are the 60-year-old tangerine peel.

I heard that it's more expensive than gold.

And this.

I think he said it is

the deer musk produced at high latitudes.

They were all kept in a safe all the time.

And this cordyceps.

I brought everything here.

Please keep them.

All of these are expensive.

I don't know these things

and I don't know how to use them either.

Zhu said

Prof. Ren can use them

on the one who really needs it.

So, please keep them.

Let's keep them then.

Thank you.

Tou Tou.

Carefully record everything

and send it to the medical center.

Okay.

Prof. Ren.

And this.

The donation from Zhu to the apprentice class.

When he was conscious, he specifically told me that

Prof. Ren

could even educate a kid like Tou Tou.

The merits of the apprentice class were immeasurable.

He also said that

our family will be entrusted to the medical center in the future.

How can I not donate some?

Well, that...

Zhu was

complimenting or scolding me?

-Why do I feel that... -He was praising you.

Mrs. Zhu.

I understand

what Zhu said.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Li Quan.

You're not working today?

Mr. Wu.

Today, I come here to work.

Anything?

I heard Mr. Tu say

you're applying to become a full-time.

But I have one piece of advice.

I hope you won't become a full-time medical sales agent.

You have to make time for studying.

I believe in you.

I hope you too

can become a great doctor in the future.

You know, a swamp won't be able to restrain a roc bird with its dream.

That's right.

Mr. Wu, recently, my company

has just gotten the approval for a batch of medicines.

We hope the tertiary hospitals can use them.

The tender is coming up.

I don't quite understand the process,

so I hope you can have a look.

Good.

Tu asked you to come, right?

Do you know what you are doing?

A scholar

should not be impulsive

let alone go with the flow.

Let's rest the matter here.

I'll pretend you haven't been here.

Mr. Wu, don't worry.

This card is in my name. It has nothing to do with you.

You just need to spend it.

We are only...

Kid.

Do you know why I wanted to help you?

That's because you are kind.

You help the poor and the weak.

Enough, enough. I don't want to hear this.

Society is very complicated.

One must learn to hold oneself.

You must know what to do and what not to do.

You must keep it in mind.

But Mr. Wu,

I know you've been good to me.

I won't harm you.

We've gone through the medicine countless times.

It absolutely has no quality issue.

Li Quan.

I recommended you work there

as a part-time medical sales agent

because I want you to study medicine well.

But

when I went for a Tuina recently,

you were not there.

When I went to the medical center,

you weren't there either.

I just want to ask you this.

Do you still want to be a doctor?

I want.

But I don't have the identity like Tou Tou

nor a background like Tian Zhen.

I still have a family waiting for me to help.

I have a dream,

but I don't have the capital to realize my dream.

I know you'll be very disappointed in me

when I say that.

Actually, I am

disappointed in myself too.

But Mr. Wu,

for the children from poor families like us

to prove ourselves in society...

Don't keep using poverty as an excuse

and justify your laziness.

Many people in this world

went through poverty.

Take me for example.

Back then, my family background was almost the same as yours.

And Prof. Ren.

His family was extremely poor.

But right now...

We may not be some influential people,

but you can consider us as pillars of strength.

You must pursue your goal

and be practical.

You can't be opportunistic.

These are all that I want to tell you.

Go back and think about it.

This...

Take it away.

Tell Tu

not to do this with me.

Otherwise,

I'll go find President Zheng.

Well,

we can't say that we shouldn't get married

if we can't afford to buy a house,

or don't get a baby if we don't stay near the school.

I don't know what other people think,

but this is what I think.

I think if having a partner

is more tiresome than being alone,

I'd rather be single.

Love can't feed you.

I'm facing the hardships of this city now.

I don't want my kids to lose

from the moment he is born.

You're just a messenger for us.

If he is okay,

then everyone will be happy.

If he's not okay,

you just return the card to me.

This has nothing to do with you.

But

if you manage to do this,

the sales from the hospitals,

I'll give you one point.

As for how much this one point is,

I guess you don't need me to calculate for you, right?

Hello, Mom.

We're home.

Where is everybody?

I guess they've gone out.

Why did they go out at this hour?

Perhaps to take a walk.

Let's go.

Okay.

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

You've scared me.

♫ To you ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

Wait! Whose birthday is it?

We sang the song yet you still don't know?

It's your birthday.

Me?

Mom, Dad, have a seat.

Quan.

Why are you living alone now?

I used to share with a girl.

But it was inconvenient, so, I moved out.

Was it the girl you like?

No, Mom. I don't have a girl that I like.

You told me during Chinese New Year.

Don't talk about that useless thing.

Talk about the fish pond.

Fish pond?

What's wrong with the fish pond?

Quan.

It's haunted.

The fish pond at our house

have had three cars went into in

within two months.

We've been doing fish farming for three to five years,

but we've never encountered such a wicked thing.

Three incidents in a row?

That's right.

The drivers were rescued,

but the cars have ruined the fish pond.

The pond is filled with engine oil,

so the oil stains float on the water.

All the fishes are dead.

When the first car plunged in,

it was so scary.

The driver almost died.

Luckily, your brother was quick to respond.

He jumped into the pond with a wrench

and dragged the driver out

by smashing the windscreen.

Otherwise,

the car and the driver

would...

Is my brother okay?

What could have happened to him?

There is no way to farm the fish now.

We need at least a few years

to get rid of all the leftover oil.

Otherwise, the fish will have the smell of the engine oil.

This pond is completely ruined.

Did they drink and drive?

They have to compensate, Dad.

Have you asked for the village head's help?

Yes, but we didn't get it.

Why?

The drivers sued us first.

They said there were

no warning signs at night at the fish pond.

They couldn't see anything.

Well,

the birth date on my ID card isn't today.

You got it wrong.

Well, I said it's your birthday, so it's your birthday.

Master.

Do you have a craving for alcohol?

You force her to celebrate a birthday.

You can't say that to your master.

Well, Tou Tou

have been here for some time.

But we've never celebrated birthday for her.

We've got to give her a birthday.

Humans must have a sense of ritual.

They should at least know

who are they and where they come from,

and where are they heading to, right?

Right now, I don't need to know

where I come from,

because I really don't know

when was I born.

But right now, I

know exactly where I'm heading to.

Where are you heading to?

I will work hard

and be the inheritor.
