(Prosperity)

(Jin Village)
(The first time I learned about death)

(Jin Village)
(was at my dad's funeral.)

(My dad has nine siblings, )

(giving birth to over forty children.)

(So, on that day,
I met countless relatives.)

(After paying respect to my dad, )

(I turned around and saw
the faces with a similar look.)

(I almost burst out laughing.
But, I managed to hold it in.)

(Even I was at a young age, )

(I knew that it was inappropriate
to laugh when others were crying.)

(Since then,
every time I walk down the street, )

(I always size up those strangers, )

(guessing where the people
who look like them have gone.)

(People desperately reproduce offspring,
then they are separated, )

(and eventually they reunite at funerals
because of their blood ties.)

(That's so miraculous.)

(Even if they marry outsiders
and mix different blood, )

(they can't get rid of
the original appearance of a family.)

Are you the emergency
contact person for the patient?

Yes, I am.

How is her condition?

She just got transferred out
of the Intensive Care Unit.

Her condition is relatively stable.

There'll be a few more checks later.

We'll observe her for twenty-four hours
before we further discuss.

Thank you.

It's nothing. Go in and take a look.

=Episode 18=

Mom.

Mom, please wake up. Mom!

Mom. Mom! Mom.

Family members are not allowed in.

Please stay outside.

Please save my mom.

Mom, stay strong!
I'll be waiting outside for you.

(In Operation)

Dr, please tell me why my mom
suddenly became like this today?

She just has a common
heart disease, isn't she?

The patient has already entered there.
Please be at ease.

The doctors in the operation are

the most professional
in our hospital. Don't worry.

Professional?

My dad couldn't make it through
the surgery half a year ago

in your operation theatre!

Can you please calm down yourself?

Are you looking down at me?

Please stay calm.

Don't bluff.

I tell you, none of you
should think of bullying me.

Hedgehog.

Let go of me.

Please cool down.

I tell you, if anything happens
to my mom today,

I will never let you off the hook.

Got it? Did you hear me?

I'm talking to you.

Dr. Fang, are you alright?

Let me get you up.

Hedgehog.

Please stay awake.

Chen Maidong.

My...

My dad has passed away.

I can't afford to lose my mom.

I beg you to help me beg them
to save my mom.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

Mom. We've been eating dumplings
too often at home.

You do once,
and keep a ton of it in the fridge.

And, we eat it for a whole year.

Eating whatever is provided
is the basic courtesy for children.

How kind my brother is!

Just having it without any effort made.

Don't sow discord again.

Me and your brother take turns
taking care of Grandma Chen.

Finally, he has some time
doing his own thing.

Now he can only
relieve stress through arts.

How's Maidong?

He told me that
Grandma Lin is stable now.

But, Chen Maidong must be
having a tough time.

He's anxious all day long.

He is just too kind.
This isn't easy for him.

Dong is someone
who faces death every day.

Shouldn't he be stronger than us?

That's all nonsense.

He used to handle it for other people.

But, this time it's sending off
someone close like his own grandma.

It's not comparable.

But he doesn't let me
help with anything.

All I can do now is try my best
to make Grandma Chen happy.

Luckily, she doesn't know anything.

You guys are really...

I don't know if you're smart or foolish.

They've been sisters
for half a lifetime.

And, now they don't even
receive a video call.

How could it be possible
that Grandma Chen wouldn't feel it?

But, I think Grandma is doing alright.
She seems quite happy.

That's when you're around.

Perhaps you guys think
you're protecting her.

But, she is actually the one
who is protecting you.

You know, ever since my dad passed away,

my mom hasn't been able
to heal from that.

And, I finally decided
to be a filial son,

arranging for my mom to go on a trip.

She was so happy.
She couldn't wait for it.

She prepared eagerly,
telling everyone about it.

Saying it's all because of me,
so that she can spend luxuriously.

But just before boarding the flight,
her heart disease suddenly relapsed.

But as her son,

I never knew she had this illness.

My mom has been in the hospital
for so long.

She never let anyone worry about her.

She's always been so tough.

The attending doctor told

her health indicators
were getting better.

But today...

Today, all of a sudden...

She's not doing well.

They haven't given up treatment yet.

How could you give up first?

Dong,

I'm scared.

Do you know how much I wish I could
replace my mom there?

Since childhood,

I've never let them
not worry about me even a day.

They gave birth to me with such
a strong body, but I'm so useless.

I should be the one who faces death,
shouldn't it be me?

Shouldn't it be me?

Hedgehog,

since they gave you
such a resilient body,

you shouldn't make them disappointed.

Once you get through this,

no matter what you do,

or if you want to fight,

I'll be right there with you.

Grandma Shen,

my mom asked me to carry
this box of water for you.

I put it here.

Um, if you need any help in the future,

just call me anytime.

Thank you.

Grandma!

Why are you here? It's so far from home.

You've put the water here,
you can leave now.

Wait, Zhuang Jie has just
called me looking for you.

Why are you hiding here?

Go back.

Weren't you looking down on
the gang of old ladies in Jin Village?

Nonsense. Go away.

(Great Man)

Chen Maidong,
you haven't talked to me for days.

Are you especially busy?

We've all been worried about you.

Are you alright? Are you eating well?

Do you have time to sleep?

You don't let me
have the chance to speak.

I'm fine. Are you all okay?

We're all good.

Zhuan Yan and I take turns visiting
your grandma every day.

That must be tiring for you both.

Don't talk about useless things.
Let's change to some sweet topic.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Take care of yourself.

Any progress with Grandma Lin?

Should we prepare ourselves?

What should we prepare?

What kind of preparation is right?

Chen Maidong, it's already a miracle

that Grandma Lin has lasted until today.

For elderly surgical patients,
when it comes to resuscitation,

they have to have
their trachea cut open,

punctures made, administered pressors,

placed on an invasive ventilator,

and undergo external chest compressions.

Each step is very painful.

I understand.

Do you really not need me
to accompany you?

No need. You take care of my grandma.

They're looking for me.
I need to get back there now.

(Pan)

Hello.

Are you sure?

Did she go again?

Okay. I'm heading there now.
Send me your location.

Ten minutes.

Grandma.

How's it?

If you think you're lacking,
who else is competent?

This is different from my usual job.
I have little confidence.

I'm just grateful to be alive
to enjoy your service.

It's my honor!

Please don't say that.

As long as you get better soon,
I'll do anything for you.

Dong,

sorry to trouble you.

Grandma, don't say that
in the future again.

I never expected to have a family
member by my side at this point.

Didn't you ask me to
keep it from everyone?

As long as you are willing to request,

the whole village are your family.

You're right.

I'm very fortunate.

Dong,

I have no regrets in my life.

But it doesn't stop me
from envying you and Jie.

You two must get along well.

Then, your grandma will have no regrets

for the rest of her days.

Grandma,

I get it.

I'm going to tidy up the things.

I'll come back later to listen to you.

Here you go.

You live a cozy life.

You're so mysterious
that I can't find you anywhere.

How did you find your way here?

I had to come and see
what you were up to,

to report to your grandson.

Don't tell Dong.

Then you tell me.

Jie.

Look, does this look like
Grandma Lin's house?

It does, but it's not.

Everything about Grandma Lin
is irreplaceable.

You're right.

But, the only Lin I have

will eventually
leave me behind and go first.

Grandma, don't think of that.

Jie,

as people age, they naturally become
somewhat prophetic.

I've been observing here
with people of my age lately.

Like the elderlies in Jin Village,

once they pass seventy,

their most important task each day

isn't about living life anymore,

but about waiting to depart from life.

They keep God in mind,

believing that
under the gaze of the Gods,

only then can their souls ascend.

They're afraid of dying
either outside their own homes,

or inside their own rooms.

Therefore, they decided

to move their beds to the living room,

waiting for their final moment.

It's like completing an ultimate test.

I don't like this tradition.

Once we still live in this world,

we should live it well.

At our age,

we have no energy to
fight against the Maker anymore.

Once someone dies,
they won't come back.

No one knows what it's like over there.

The closer we get to the point,

the more scared we become.

Heart rate. Blood pressure.

Heart rate monitor.

Here I come.

Dr. Fang,
this is the latest data record.

Alright, let me check.

The patient's coma index is three.
Pulse is 40.

Pupils are dilated.

When these indicators appear,

we will announce to the family.

Announce what?

Hello. Yes, I am.

Announce what?

Brain death.

But the machine still shows
breathing and heartbeat.

The life support system
doesn't represent life itself.

Once the machine stops...

The vital signs cease.

Understood.

Thank you.

Grandma.

Jie,

what does brain death mean?

Grandma Lin said that I could only

open this letter when the hospital
gave the final notice.

(Just for Gu Beibei)

Do you think brain death
means it's all over?

Even if the brain is not functioning,
isn't the person still here?

Let's try to save Lin again.

Let's save her again, okay?

Grandma Lin entrusted
that if there's no chance to live,

then we choose to not resuscitate.

But I still can't make the decision.

Can you give me
some professional advice for this?

When treatment no longer
works for someone,

professional advice becomes meaningless.

Grandma,

every brain surgeon struggles daily

to save the patient's life while
also enduring personal distress.

For example,

should they risk losing vision

to remove the brain hemorrhage?

Should they sacrifice
the patient's right hand

to stop the patient's
continuous seizures?

Or, even they know

that the patient lying in the bed

can never go back to
how they were before,

and may even lose their basic dignity,

should they try to save them?

You should know

there's never a best choice.

What Grandma Lin

most desired is dignity.

So, Grandma,

Grandma Lin has been living
a decent life her whole life.

Let's leave her
to have her last dignity.

Lin.

Lin.

Lin.

You never listen to my advice.

You're old now.

Taking good care of yourself
is well enough.

You shouldn't take all those cats,
dogs, and rabbits in anymore.

This old cat has only a few days left.

Qi has kept it for over ten years,

treating it like his family.

How can he bear to watch

it take its last breath?

Seeing its fur shedding

and its tail becoming thin,

that's sad.

There must be someone
accompanying it for a peaceful death.

That's why I don't like
keeping these living creatures.

When they're healthy, they ignore you.

But, when they soon die,
they need to suffer for days.

Humans are like animals.

The day to leave will eventually arrive.

When the time comes,

think about the lovely days

we've spent together,

and we won't immerse in the sadness.

(I have acknowledged for a long time)

(that the day I leave
won't be filled with joy)

(or crowded with family members.)

(But because I chose this path myself, )

(I've never regretted it.)

(I have no attachments in this world, )

(except worrying about you.)

(That's why I wrote this letter
to you in advance.)

(You have to promise me to only open it)

(when the hospital
gives you the final notice.)

(The deceased is the greatest.)

(You have to listen to me.)

You are not fooling me, right?

This is my lucky color.

From now on, wear it every day.

I guarantee you
have good luck this year.

(Every individual has their own story)

(of different possible endings.)

(No matter which one, that's all fine.)

(If you were to ask those)

(who have already passed away)

(if they're satisfied with their death, )

(I guess most would want
to change it.)

(But for me, I think)

(no matter how I die, )

(dead is dead.)

(There's nothing to struggle with.)

(For most of my life, )

(I've been able)

(to make my own decisions, )

(even in death.)

(So, I'm quite satisfied
with my own ending.)

(And, please don't feel sorry for me.)

(In the first week after I leave, )

(you might receive a few greeting calls)

(and visits of condolences.)

(Don't be impatient.)

(Please allow others to care for you, )

(and talk about me.)

When it rains, hold an umbrella.

When the sun shines, dry the blanket.

Accept whatever comes
to you with happiness.

Time flies so fast.

Both of us started with tiny hands
holding each other's.

And now, it's wrinkly hands
holding each other's.

What's wrong with you?
Does anything happen?

Grandma Lin

has passed away.

You wait for your brother at home.

Don't cry. Follow me.

(The pain of losing a loved one
always makes people)

(feel extremely hopeless at some point, )

(thinking that
the future is only filled)

(with endless loneliness and sadness
that accompany you.)

(But that's not true.)

(Time heals all wounds.)

Lin. I'm here.

You're finally here.

It's just in time for you to taste

the coffee jelly
that I just learned to make.

Why are you hanging this photo here?

I don't get it.

Why will a man dress like this?

Don't look at where you shouldn't.

It won't make you feel embarrassed then.

How can you bear to give this to me now?

It's all because you
always nagged about it.

Whatever you like is yours now.

I like it best
when you tidy up your house.

I'm sure I'll have many
good things to collect here.

(In the second week when I leave, )

(you should go out of the house)

(and talk to the people
around you more.)

(Have a chat over topics
other than death.)

(Don't suffer alone.)

Grandma.

(Tunnel closed, please make a detour)
Uncle, I walked through here every day.

No entry here.

Going around will take me
an extra two hours.

What's...

No entry here.

No. You...

- Can't help.
- You...

How can you...

Jisan Goose!

Jisan Goose, come back.

You don't belong to the farm.

No entry!

Uncle.

My goose. My goose was scared
to the other side by you.

Which goose is yours?
Aren't they all the same?

The unique one there.

I don't see the difference.

That's just a goose.

Buy another one
at the goose farm.

You know nothing.

Jisan Goose is not an ordinary poultry.

It's the most extraordinary
goose in the world.

What's so special about it?

Roosters, wild dogs,

and white geese

are just bullies in the village.

Even if you don't eat them,
they'll bite you anyway.

They're useless.

Give me back my goose.

Jisan Goose.

Come back quickly.

Come back quickly.

(You have to accept that
life and death are destined.)

(Nothing in this world is permanent.)

(If you can't catch up, just let it go.)

(Don't cry.)

(If you're upset,
try taking deep breaths.)

Qin Xuezhi's family,

just letting you know,

the surgery is halfway through
and going quite smoothly.

Doctor.

Thank you for your hard work.

It's nothing.

Our current surgical plan is

challenging in terms of technique,

but if successful,
it will reduce postoperative bleeding

and improve the closure rate of
the false lumen in the distal end.

Your mom is only 64.

She's still young. We'll do our best.

Thank you.

(I have always felt that we women)

(are the strongest creatures
in this world.)

(Every family in this world)

(relies on the resilience
of women to be stable.)

(Women are the foundation)

(of a family rapport.)

(So, my dear sister, )

(I believe you can
definitely get through)

(the days when I'm not there.)

(I hope you can sincerely tell me that, )

("Lin, you've done a great job
in your life.")

(Both you and I are mature elderlies)

(who have gone through a lot in life.)

(We should understand)

(that being hurt
and going through hardships)

(are parts of life.)

(You're not the only one
feeling sad and in pain, )

(nor the most unfortunate person
in the world.)

(When comes to the topic of suffering, )

(many people can easily surpass you.)

(So, in other words, )

(no one is enduring the pain alone.)

(You should treat yourself nicer.)

(Wear clean clothes)

(and have a meal when it's served hot.)

(Other than these, )

(there's nothing else
I need to remind you of.)

(We've come a long way, )

(and it's time for us to bid farewell.)

(So, that's all for now.)

(My dear Chen, )

(let's meet again in heaven.)

Mom,

are we not going to
look for Jisan Goose?

No, we're not.

A forced tie won't make us close.

Mom,

can we really leave Grandma Chen

alone without our accompany?

Chen Maidong is not at home.

I don't feel at ease.

Even if you want to accompany her,
it shouldn't be right now.

Just let her stay quietly
at Grandma Lin's house.

Mom, I know you're most annoyed
with me being so sentimental.

But, why do people

always have to endure all these?

You guys can always talk big only.

When it comes to the real happenings,
you have no personal idea at all.

Zhuang Jie, don't underestimate
Grandma Chen.

She's from the same generation
as your grandfather.

What they did back then,
is ten times more than us.

They've come through
from all the thick and thin.

Although looking at it
from today's perspective,

your grandpa might not be a good dad.

Your uncle and I were brought up by him,

being educated to
just be literate and sensible,

not to delve deeper into academics.

No matter how the world changes,

we believe that survival
is the important thing.

The way he raised children

was by beating them
whenever they disobeyed,

with the belief that it would knock down

their rebelliousness, making them
be able to survive in society.

If it happens in today's context,
no one would be able to stand with it.

But, at that time,
it was so-called wisdom.

When it came to my generation,

we didn't care about
anything unrealistic.

And then, I got married
and had children.

I witnessed the country

getting better and stronger day by day,

no more worrying
about food and clothing.

And, the most difficult thing
that came to me

was teaching you guys

because I couldn't apply the way that
your grandpa used on you all.

You guys always talk
about freedom and equality.

What you pay attention to
are big matters from all over the world.

What you discussed are the new things
that I don't understand at all.

That was a good thing,

as it means that your lives

are better than mine.

Am I right? You have wider
perspectives than ours.

But we shouldn't just think
about the distant future

and ignore the present.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Let's just say that

when I'm gone someday,

the three of you won't get to eat
this braised chicken anymore,

and not even these dried radishes

and pickled vegetables.

Human undergoes birth, aging,
illness, and death.

We need to accept whatever comes to us.

No matter how much we know,

it's all meaningless
unless we experience it ourselves.

No one can escape it.

This weather is perfect
for flying kites.

If Mr. He were still here,

he would definitely be the first
in the kite competition.

But unfortunately,
there are no 'ifs" in this world.

Mr. He and Grandma Lin

can only live in our hearts.

Jie, Dong is coming back soon, right?

In these two days.

I heard you

talking to Xixia
on the phone last night.

You're going back to Shanghai, are you?

I've never said I'm not
going back to Shanghai.

What about Dong then?

Why don't you ask about my job?

For me, career is far
less important than love.

Yan, if you post these comments online,

you will be called lovesick

or a marriage mule.

I don't care about

what those keyboard warriors say.

I only care about you and Dong.

No one cares about
Maidong more than I do.

But your sister
is not just a salesperson.

Just because I'm disabled,

I understand better than others

how medical technology can change fate.

Didn't you come across a foreign article
online a few days ago?

How do they describe ventilators?

Ventilators redefine the end of life.

You're right.

Behind all business,
there can be warmth.

What I pursue is not only money,

but hoping that
there are "ifs" in this world.

If medical technology is more advanced,

and if domestic instruments
are more common,

other people like Mr. He or Grandma Lin

may have a chance to survive.

Do you understand?

Let's fly kites.

He Niaoniao, let's fly kites.

I'm coming.

Jie, let's fly the kites high

so that my dad and Grandma Lin
can see them.

Am I right?

Sure.

I heard that your mom's
surgery went well.

Yes.

I didn't know how to thank the doctors.

They don't expect your gratitude.

Just stop throwing your punches
at them will do.

Please don't tease me anymore.

I'll quit fighting from now on.

Then, the happiest one
would be your mom.

The good time is waiting ahead for her.

You can go back.

Dong,

are you okay?

You haven't slept much these days.

How should I put it?

It feels a bit surreal this morning.

I only understand now

the feeling of handling
all the funeral affairs

as a family member.

We're not young anymore.

Some things are inevitable.

I've been handling others' affairs
all these years,

thinking that I was tough.

But when it actually happened to me,

I realized that I couldn't take it.

How about your grandma?

Can she accept it?

I didn't expect her

to be stronger than me.

She even comforted me in return.

That's good then.

Please take care.

You too.

I heard that you work
at a funeral parlor.

Yes, I am.

May I know what can I help you with?

Can we talk somewhere else?

I'm willing to pay.

Sure.
