[Fireworks of My Heart]

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

[Episode 21]

Still a blank piece of paper?

I don't know what to write.

Write what you're thinking about the most.

I'm sure there's someone you miss.

This mission is going be a hard one.

We might not get to come home alive.

Just write down what you wish to tell them.

Xu Qin.

If you're reading this letter,

that probably means I'm no longer in this world.

I've matured a lot since we last met.

But I still haven't learned
how to say goodbye to you.

I don't have many attachments, nor many regrets.

Except for you.

You're always able to keep me grounded.

When I think of you,

my tomorrow becomes meaningful.

Freezing cold and blazing heat are nothing.

Hail of bullets doesn't scare me.

I wish to become a person
who can stand as your equal,

who can make you happy.

Cover me!

Song Yan.

Song Yan.

Song Yan.

Song Yan.

Gauze.

If that day never comes,

I want you to know

that there was a person in this world

who did everything he could

in order to be with you.

Don't move.

Your wound could burst.

You're one lucky guy.

If this thing hadn't stopped the bullet,
the bullet would've hit your artery.

Then you wouldn't be laying here.

She's quite pretty.

Your girlfriend?

I never heard you talk about her.

Who is it?

The person I'm going to marry.

When I become a proper person,

I'll go back and marry her.

You did a good job this time.

The team recommended you for a medal of honor.

When you're recovered,

you'll be promoted.

Then, you can proudly marry the girl.

If that day does come,

I will run toward you against the light.

Holding your hand,

I want to share all my glory and pride with you

I'll stand before your family like a man

and tell them

I wish to be with you.

After today,

we won't be able to see each other often.

Xu Qin isn't what you think she is.

She's just doing it for your sake.
You've misunderstood her.

She cares about you.

Don't sleep when you're angry.

If you sleep with anger,
you'll easily become dumb the next day.

Just say whatever is on your mind.

Tell it to me.

You'll feel better once you let it out.

Okay, okay.

The time now is 10:21PM.

Temperature is 27.7 degrees Celsius.

Mom, is Qin Qin home?

She has a date.

I'm going out. No need to wait for me for dinner.

Yan Chen.

Come.

Do you remember her?

Gu's daughter.

- Xiao Man.
- Hello.

Hello.

The last time,

you two were supposed to meet,
but you didn't go.

Shouldn't you apologize to her?

Really sorry, Ms. Gu.

I had a meeting the last time,
so I couldn't make it.

- Sorry about that.
- It's okay.

I know work keeps you busy.

Where are you going?

I'm going to an art exhibition.

Why not you take Xiao Man along?

- Thanks.
- It will be right up.

I heard you're quite good at golf.

I'm average.

You're too humble.

Not many people get praise from my mother.

Thank you. It's not really a hobby or anything.

By the way, you're a doctor?

Yes, I'm an ER doctor.

I'm usually quite busy.

I don't have much time for myself.

It's good to be busy. More fulfilling.

Most people our age inherit
and take over the family business.

But you chose to go down a different path.

That shows your bravery and assertive character.

I'm not as good as you think.

I suppose Madam Fu's told you
about my background.

Still, I'd like to formally introduce myself to you.

I'm Dong Jia Nan.

28 years old, graduated from a business school.

I'm currently managing an MCN company.

I like sports.

Skiing, diving.

I don't have any bad habits.

My mom likes you a lot.

She'd love for you to marry into
our family and enjoy a good life.

It'd be good to have a son.

As for me, I think you're exactly the type I like.

Most importantly, we are compatible in all aspects.

Compatible in our qualifications, yes.

But you're not the right person.

Not the right person?

I'm really sorry.

I have a boyfriend.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

But I...

You enjoy the exhibition.

I'm going to the bathroom.

How much is this painting?

I'm not a staff right now. I'm off work.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Are you planning to buy this painting?

You don't think it's good?

Remembrance should be kept in the heart,
not hung up on a wall.

This painting looks beautiful on the surface.

But it's actually about regret.

See the green plums on the tree?

They're sour.

[Green Plums and Sweethearts]
The sweethearts sit by the plum tree.

I think they probably missed out on each other.

You totally turned a happy childhood memory
into a sad story.

I guess I'm more of a pessimist.

People who often reminisce the past
are usually not happy in the present.

How so?

Perhaps their past memories are too sweet.

So they have this selfish wish to
reclaim the good feelings from the past.

But they also know that

once a good thing passes you by,
you won't be able to get it back.

They understand that things may be the same,
but the people have changed.

They know that only regret and blurry memories
are left in the reclaimed past.

After hearing all that,

why would I still want to buy this painting?

That's up to you.

I certainly wouldn't buy it.

I mean, it costs 80,000.

So expensive.

Is it?

When I watched TV dramas as a kid,
I wondered

what kind of person would buy
paintings from a gallery?

Now I know.

I get what you meant to say.

You're saying that this painting is not worth it.

Not really.

For a normal person, sure, it's not worth it.

But to people like you, money is merely a tool.

What you do or buy with it is all
for the sake of self enjoyment, no?

Like you said,

money is just a tool.

I too, have unfulfilled wishes

and regrets I keep hidden.

There you are.

I was looking for you.

You're interested in this painting?

What do you think?

It's all right.

I've never liked looking at art. I find it boring.

Let's go shopping?

I want to finish the exhibition.

Fine.

You enjoy the exhibition. I'll enjoy shopping.

Goodbye, then.

Goodbye.

Get in.

Thanks.

I'll take you to the nearest train station.

Okay.

Wear the safety belt.

Okay.

You know what?

Now that they've left, I'm feeling a little down.

What did I tell you?

It's unrealistic.

They have their own work.

You can't expect them to do this with you
for an extended period.

You know I was only trying to improve
the medical abilities of the station.

Since this won't work, I'll have to find another way.

Is there any chance to add
medical staff into the head count.

You really don't give up.

Don't say that.

At least we've established the linkage.

I still consider it a win.

Mr. Jiang Yu.

Your optimism deserves praise.

I think you're more optimistic.

Now you won't get to see Dr. Xu.

I'm curious if you'd still be so positive then.

You blabbermouth.

Mr. Jiang, are you all right?

I'm okay.

Something got stuck in my teeth.

- Where's Dr. Xu?
- Let's join her.

Dr. Xu, can we sit with you?

Sit.

Dr. Yang.

We got the same dishes. You like pork trotters, too?

It's good.

Are you guys in favor of the hospital restructuring?

We rarely get to sit down
to eat and chat casually like this.

Must we talk about such a serious topic?

Do you like being a doctor because
your contribution gets repaid in kind?

Or is it mostly because
you feel proud of what you do?

I was trying to come up with the right answer
for your first question,

and now you've asked another.

Sorry. Which one would you like to answer?

I don't wish to answer either one.

Dr. Yang.

I know what you're asking.

You're saying that a job is just a job.

Right?

Who wouldn't want that?

I mean, we work our butts off every day.

What we earn is only enough to feed the stomach.

I studied all the way to PhD.

Do you know how much my salary was
in my first year here?

The salary isn't the worst part.

The main thing is fatigue.

The work pressure is massive.

When I get tired, I become anxious.

I mean, how many times
have I been scolded this month?

What to do?

There are too many patients.

There's only so much medical resource
to go around.

It's not like we can ignore the needy.

This is why I get angry easily
but cool down easily, too.

It's inevitable.

Our job is related to life and death.

We're destined to not have normal working lives.

Anyway, Dr. Xu.

Now I can answer your second question.

If you ask me if I am proud,

of course I am.

I'm saving lives.

I deserve to be proud.

When I go on trips, and other travelers
learn that I'm a doctor,

the looks of admiration they give me
really make me feel great.

Very proud.

But don't you think that honor is also a burden?

It demands your selflessness and sacrifice.

But I'm willing.

The sense of honor of saving someone
from the brink of death

is incomparable to anything else in the world.

I know. You don't get it.

I know what you're saying.
It's just that I don't like such ideas.

People say everything has value.
But I think every person has value.

A person's value should be measured
using professional metrics,

and not made up by abstract
selflessness or generosity.

Because it's much too depressing for the people
who are in those positions.

I don't like it.

Also, from a different perspective...

Dr. Xu.

I wasn't setting you up.

Just eat.

Hello?

Hello?

[Xu Qin]

Hello.

I

called the wrong number.

Did you?

I wanted to call Jiang Yu. I pressed wrong.

I don't think Jiang and Yu
are that close alphabetically.

Did you have to point that out so quickly?

It's because I have high IQ.

But low EQ.

I've had low EQ all my life.

Can you not act so confident?

No.

Did you call me just to tell me I have low EQ?

No.

I...

Right.

I wanted to ask if you've finished
writing the report on the joint team.

I have. I submitted it to Jiang Yu.

Is that so?

I'll talk to him, then.

That's all. Bye.

Song Yan.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Excuse me.

Please disperse. Thank you.

Da Peng, Pi Pi. Use the cutter.

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

Don't move it. You're going to hurt yourself.

Sir, look. It's all swollen.

If we don't cut it now, it will be too late.

Ma'am, please stop fidgeting.

Let's cut it open.

Cut it? If you cut it, I have to pay for it.

It's partly your fault this happened. You know that?

You started showing her the ring
the moment we came in.

You listen. You're responsible.

This lady asked to put it on herself.

We have cameras in the shop, okay?

Mom did ask to put it on.

Now, look.

We're here to accompany our son
to buy jewellery for his future wife.

You must have been too bored.
Why did you put the ring on?

It costs more than 10,000.

I mean, you're always saving for the family.

You were never interested
in these fancy bits and bobs.

What made you suddenly want to try a ring on?

Now look. It's fully stuck.

10,000 yuan.

Mister.

She's your mother. You see that she's in pain.

You make the call. Cut or not?

Is there really no way to take it off?

If you could take it off,
we wouldn't have suggested to cut it.

Ma'am.

Don't be upset.

Don't feel bad.

This isn't your fault.

I'm sure you've done more than 100 times
the value of this ring for the family.

Cut it.

Just cut it open. Come, Mom.

- Ma'am.
- Mom, let's cut it.

No need to be scared, ma'am. Careful.

Be very careful.

I'll do it.

Relax, ma'am. It will be okay.

- I'll hold you.
- Call out if it hurts.

Hold this.

Okay, slowly.

- Slowly.
- Ma'am, tell us if you feel pain.

It's okay. Relax, ma'am.

Done. It's done, ma'am.

My mom's hand is fine, right?

Now you worry for her?

Get it checked at the hospital. It should be fine.

I have to pay.

You go pay. I'll take your mom to the hospital.

Sir, please pay here.

Good work. Pack up.

Thanks, Chi.

Miss, can I discuss something with you?

This ring is too precious
to be left broken like this.

Could you speak to the management to melt the ring

and maybe turn it into a pendant or something?

Then give it to them.

It even has a little diamond.

It will look nice.

I will talk to the management.

Thank you.

Sir, please leave your contact.

When it's ready, your mother can come to get it.

Thank you. Thank you.

Calling Command Center. The ring has been removed.

Permission to leave.

Roger that.

Let's go.

No bleeding.

Line the skin up properly.

Keep the drainage tube open.

Okay, Dr. Xu.

- Dr. Xu.
- Come in.

I noticed you were monitoring my surgery.

I'd like to ask if you have any critique or opinions.

Your feedback is very valuable to me.

Your technical skills are pretty much perfect.

There's nothing more I can teach you.

But you still have your doubts about me, right?

I often get the feeling that you're
treating patients like how you would

treat a lab animal.

Dr. Xu.

I'm very clear where are differences lie.

But I think that's just a difference
in our way of thinking.

It's harmless.

Do you really think it's harmless?

The way you approach medical science
is different from mine.

But our goal is the same. It's to save lives.

You think doctors should have heart and soul.

But I don't agree that my way of dealing with
problems in a calm, calculated manner is wrong.

It's just different beliefs.

Before you're a doctor, you're a human.

Dr. Xu.

Do you remember the oath you made
when you became a doctor?

I will consciously maintain the dignity, sanctity

and noble tradition of medicine.

I will give human life the utmost respect,

- equality, and love...
- I have it memorized.

Xu Qin.

Your biggest problem is
you lack the fundamental belief in the job.

You've neglected the physician's oath.

That is why you're unable to grasp
the honor and tradition of medicine.

But then, you're a surgeon with great talent.

Hence why I am so conflicted.

Chi!

I heard the Dirty Buns here are really good.

It's quite famous online.

You little glutton. You only know to eat.

Let's try it, then.

It's expensive.

That's okay. Just treat it
as a reward for a job well done.

Chi.

I'll buy.

- Better thank Chi.
- Thank you, Chi.

Chi, Captain.

Thanks.

Pretty good.

It's quite nice.

But it's so expensive.

It's 20 plus for one. That's daylight robbery.

Nowadays, everything is expensive, Yi.

Yi, Squad Leader.

You two have been firefighters
for more than eight years, right?

Are you guys planning to stay or switch careers?

What? This isn't a taboo topic or anything.

Go on.

Don't want to answer? I'll speak for them, then.

Jun Ping told me he's definitely staying.

As for Jiang, I'm not sure.

His passion is cars. He dreams of becoming a mechanic.

Stop making up stories.

Don't listen to him.

That's from many years ago.

Back then, the plan was

to go back and open a car workshop
after I complete my service.

My mom's not very well.
I told her I'd go back to be with her.

Logically speaking, the most suitable job
for former firefighters like us

is to become a fire safety officer in a company.

That would be best.

But nowadays, there's plenty of talent.

Without proper connections, it'd be hard to get in.

But the situation is better now.

I'm here after the restructuring.

I have the choice to stay,
plus the benefits are much better, too.

I also have the experience
after working for so long.

I think I should stay and do more for the station.

We are lucky.

We get to enjoy the benefits of the restructuring.

That's right.

So tell me, why would I want to leave?

That's true. Anyway,
both you and Jun Ping are staying.

Then all of us should also stay.

We'll spend the rest of our lives together.

Eat.

Come.

Let's toast to the restructuring
of the Fire Department.

- Come, let's toast.
- Cheers!

Forget it. Dr. Xu is not going to say yes.

Say yes to what?

The hospital just released a notice.
There will be a fire drill.

We only need to cover our nose and mouth
and evacuate the building.

But, Dr. Xu, you've been chosen.

Chosen for what?

To play a trapped medical staff and patient.

And also the one who was saved but got left behind.

Why was I picked?

Maybe because you look like the one
most likely to get left behind.

It's because our team leader
is skilled and reliable.

She is quick on her feet.

Okay. I'll do it, then.

- What did you say?
- What's going on?

How come it didn't seem like Dr. Xu was upset at all.

You thought you could read her?

Her face never shows what she's feeling.

- Morning, Dr. Xu.
- Morning.

Good morning, Dr. Xu. Today is the fire drill.
You should get changed.

See you in a bit.

The fire drill is about to start.

Medical personnel in the general ward
floors 5 to 7, please get ready.

Sir, we're about to...

Dr. Xu, are you ready for the fire drill?

We need to get ready.

Dr. Xu, good luck for the drill.

Yes, there will be firefighters.
Please go to your room and get ready.

Quickly.

- Come.
- Be careful.

Cover your nose and mouth. Evacuate in order.

Cover your nose and mouth. Evacuate in order.

- This way!
- Watch your step!

It's a drill, right?

- They really made this into a big deal.
- Yeah.

Go down from there.

- Come this way.
- This is pretty fun. Like acting.

This way. Slow down at the back.

Come.

Walk in front of me. Go.

Take care.

Due to the blazing fire,

a doctor gets trapped in the dispensary
beside the nurses station.

They can't escape.

They can only wait for help.

Why would a doctor be in the dispensary anyway?

It would make more sense
for a nurse to get stuck.

Fine, let's get left behind.

Peace and quiet.

That was fast.

Squad One, operate the ladder.

Squad Two, search and evacuate.

Squad Three, put out the fire.

Yes, sir.

Get ready to put out the fire!

Hurry!

Split up and search floors five to seven.

If a fire had really broken out,

I would've been dead by now.

I thought

a certain firefighter would
at least remember me.

Why didn't you escape?

I'm doing my part in the drill.

I'm the one left behind.

If this was the real thing,
it would be a lifeless body you found.

Who would know you were here
when you didn't scream for help?

The training plan described it.
A person is trapped in the dispensary.

We weren't told. There's no specific location.

The script didn't say to yell for help.

Smart of us to hide in the bathroom
to avoid the fire drill.

Indeed.

What should we eat tonight?

Now that you found me,
are you going to bring me to safety?

The fire has been burning for half an hour.

No can save you. Just stay here.

- How do I get out, then?
- Wait for the tiller.

You mean the thing that looks like a crane?

It's called the lifesaving platform.

So I'm going to be transported down
like cargo in front of everybody?

That's what you get for showing attitude.

Earthquake.

The epicenter is a distance from here.
But not that far.

How do you know?

At the epicenter, it jolts then sways.

When you're a distance away,
you only feel the swaying.

Captain, it's an earthquake.

- Is everyone okay?
- Yes.

- Assemble!
- Yes, sir.

Go!
