[English subtitles are available] [Beloved Life] [Episode 10] She likes bathing. She likes wearing face cream. She likes to sleep with mommy’s hair in hand. Mommy? I mean, someone like mommy. Anyway, I kept all her little habits in a notebook. It’s in her luggage. You must take a good look at it. Just give me the baby. I’m her mother. I’ll know after looking after her for a few days. Come. Slowly. Be careful. Dr. Wu, you have violated the rules of the hospital. You will have a demerit on your record. Please do not do it again. Congrui. What are you angry about? You’re pregnant, don’t be so temperamental. Director Huang. Wait, I got something else to speak with you. Gossip is over. Let’s go back. Stop it. What are you gossiping? You’re obviously worried. Are you talking about me? Very funny. This pajama is our best seller this season. How much is it? 2,600 yuan. It’s silk. So expensive. Not at all. Girls gotta be nice to themselves. And nicer, to their boyfriends. This pajama is very popular. It has a great reputation. Some people even bought all the colors. It’s all set. It’s a good day today. We must make it. I’m counting on you. Honey. Honey. Look at me. Just go to sleep. I have surgeries tomorrow morning. Just look at me. It’s not warm, is it? You dumb. Who wears this to keep warm? You always kick off the blanket. Go change the pajama. It’s my ovulation day today. Ovulation day. Oh what? Act about it. I’m tired. Bear with it. It’s once in a month. We gotta seize the moment. Congrui, I don’t think we should rush it. What do you mean? I’m all ready. Getting pregnant is a natural thing. We have to do it monthly so I can get pregnant naturally. No. Looking for your cellphone? Checking if anyone is looking for you, right? I called everyone in your office today. No matter what happens tonight, I asked them to go for your boss, not you. I also put your phone away. We had a deal, didn’t we? Are you regretting it now? No. Feng Yuanhang, I have blocked all the excuses you can find. I’ll just see what else you have got. I… We have talked about it before, right? We’re going to have another baby. Congrui, I… What is it? Tell me. I had a vasectomy. You what? What do you mean? I said I had a vasectomy. I did it when we came back from the countryside. Congrui. You… calm down. I can explain. I did it for your good. You did nothing for my good! Is it your first time here? Why have I never seen you? It’s not. You are so cute. Really? But my husband doesn’t think so. You’re married? I wore a very expensive pajama tonight. But he told me he had a vasectomy. Look… Sorry. She is not available. Why are you drinking so much? How much did you fill her? None of my business. She wanted to challenge you and asked for Long Island. She becomes like this after one glass. Get her some milk. Warm milk. Come, drink some milk. Drink. Here. Water. Water. Be careful. Sanitizing wipes. Are you serious? No such thing. Out of control. No sanitizing wipes. And you’re not out of control. My life is out of control. You’re drunk. I’ll take you home. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it tomorrow, okay? I’m not drunk. I’m just sore all over and nauseous. This is drunk. That’s what it feels like being drunk. Yes, that’s what it feels like. Come on, I’ll take you home. I don’t want to go home. It’s scary at home. What happened today? Du Di, can I stay at your place tonight? I don’t want to go home. Of course you can. Let’s go. Come. Get up. Be careful. Be careful. Come, one, two, three. Good. Du Di, I want to marry you. I want to marry you, too. Great. Congrui, why are you still up? I know, it’s been hard for you since Calabash got picked up. You can’t deal with it for a short time. It’s all my fault. Sorry. Du Di, I’ve been upset with you because of the abortion. I’ll let it go from today. I forgive you. I won’t get difficult with you for this anymore. Thank you, Congrui. You know, I’ve been planning my life since always. Of course I know. You’re the Princess Planner in our school. Nothing happens out of your plan. [2009] [Dorm of Shengji Medical School] Hello, I’m Wu Congrui. I’m Du Di. Du Di. Special name. What are all these? These are my study schedules for the next eight years, from undergraduate till graduate. This is what I’ll do every month. Months for eight years are all planned now? Yeah. I remember the first day at college, you looked at me like I was a freak. Because my dad told me when I was in kindergarten that I must make a plan in life, and then work hard to achieve it. Like, I planned to grow taller, so I did reach jumps and drank milk every day. And I planned to get married at 24, so I gotta get a boyfriend in college. I planned to go to Shengji Hospital, so I studied hard to be the first in our class every year. I planned to go to the OBGYN, so I gotta find the most famous clinician in Shengji Hospital, Huang Yunling, and ask her to be my mentor. But you did them all. I still remember how you made Director Huang to be your mentor. You summarized your competition results and academic performance every quarter, made a table, and took it in front of Director Huang and asked her, “am I eligible to be your student now?” You made her laugh every time she saw you. Make a plan and stick to it, so you won’t make detours in life. This is my family motto. But, not everything works out as you planned. Yeah. Why can’t I control my womb? Why do I have to care about a man’s thoughts when I want to have children? It doesn’t work no matter how hard I try. Did anything happen to you and Feng Yuanhang? Feng Yuanhang had a vasectomy. When did this happen? I just learned about it. Funny, isn’t it? I want a baby so much, but he sterilized himself behind my back. He has castrated my dream of being a mother. Did you ask him why did he do it? I’ll call him. No need. My life is out of control. There is a mistake in my plan. I have to make a new one. Shut it down. And restart it. Congrui. You’re so early. Director Huang, I’m quitting. What is it now? You’re resigning because the baby was taken away? Director Huang, you have always been my idol. You have taken pains cultivating me in the past years. I don’t deserve it. I have never made you proud. I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. Tell me, why did you want to be a doctor in the first place? I was fond of kids. I have delivered so many new lives and saved so many mothers, I feel proud and accomplished. So you don’t like kids now? You don’t feel accomplished now? It was my life plan that went wrong. I don’t have the confidence to be a doctor anymore. What worries me the most is your perfectionism, your life plan. If people can completely control their life, would there still be regrets, disappointments, and ups and downs in this world? I disagree. People can completely control their own life, as long as they discipline themselves and work hard enough. But you can’t control other people’s lives, especially your family and marriage. You will suddenly find the person you’ve slept with for five years is a total stranger to you. I just came to tell you this. As for the resignation letter, I will send it to you later. Hey, where are you? We have to talk. I want a divorce. I’m moving home these two days. You have made up your mind divorcing him? Yes. We have signed the agreement. I’m moving back to live with my parents. Did Feng Yuanhang agree to divorce, too? He didn’t. But he had to. I’m determined. He had to sign the paper. What about your parents? They didn’t stop you? No. My parents used to have a very good impression of him. They thought he was reliable and ambitious. Never thought he would do something so disappointing. My dad was going to beat him, but I stopped him. What’s the use of beating him if he never cared for me? And one more thing, I decided to resign. Resign? You said you wanted to make a new plan, so it is to divorce and resign? Wu Congrui, you are not an impulsive person. Is there something else you didn’t tell me? If you’re angry with Feng Yuanhang, just divorce him. There’s no need to resign. From the day you were admitted to Shengji Medical College, you’ve been planning to be a gynecologist in Shengji Hospital. We had competed with each other for years in school. Your biggest dream is to help the pregnant give birth to children safely and witness the birth of new lives one after another. Now there’s just something wrong with your marriage, and you’re giving up your dream? My dream? My family, husband, children, and my career are all in a mess. They’re all going against my plan. I don’t have the courage to make plans for the future. If life keeps getting out of control, I don’t know where I’m going. Your life has gone according to your plan for a long time. You’re a lucky one. Some people can’t even stick to one day’s plan. Life is long and you did not lose control. You gotta cheer up. I need time to organize my own life. I want to stay away from the hospital and think about it. You don’t have to say anything. I have sent the resignation letter to Director Huang. I won’t let you go. I won’t let you resign. I’ll get your resignation letter back. If you don’t stay and continue to compete with me, I will look down on you for the rest of my life. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. Wu Congrui. Look, your data are fine… Di, Congrui is not with you? We were together. She should be in the office now. Oh no. What’s wrong? The head nurse said that Wu Nan and his wife came again with their baby. They are waiting for her in the office. Who knows what is going to happen. These kinds of people just don’t deserve kindness. If she dares to make trouble again, I won’t care about any hospital rules. Di, don’t be impulsive. What are you doing here? Is there something wrong with the baby? Don’t get us wrong, Dr. Wu. We are here to thank you. Yes. We are here to thank you. Thank me? She cried every day since we took her back. I never had a good sleep these days. I’m breaking down, really. One day in the middle of the night, after I changed her diaper, she still couldn’t quiet down. It took me a long time to find out that she had heat rash on her butts. I hurried to get powders and suddenly realized that you have looked after her for so long, but she doesn’t have even a mosquito bite on her body. She was clean, and fresh. You must have been very attentive so that she was looked after so well. You said that the baby has a tiny throat, so be patient when breastfeeding. After feeding, don’t forget to pat her on the back. You also said that it’s easy for the baby to wake up, so the room temperature must be strictly controlled. If it’s too high, she might sweat, and get rashes on the forehead. If it’s too low, she would cry. By the way, she really likes bathing, and wearing face cream. When she sleeps, she likes touching her mommy’s hair. I took after her just as you said. Really, she stopped crying and ate a lot. When she was sleeping with my hair in her hand, I was so touched. You were so good to my child, but I… I treated you so badly. I’m really… I’m so sorry. Dr. Wu, I don’t know how to say nice words. But I’m really grateful for what you did for Calabash. Thank you. You called her Calabash. Yes. I heard from the nurse that you used to call her Calabash. I discussed it with her father. You are the savior of my child. She would like the nickname you gave her. And, we named her Han Xierui, so she can remember your kindness when she grows up. What do you want? Don’t blame me for being rude if you keep making trouble here. They came to apologize to me. That’s embarrassing. Can I hold her? Sure. ♫My baby, are you sleeping♫ Calabash, do you still recognize me? I miss you so much. Dr. Wu, ♫I’m hearing your breath♫ you… Would you like to be the godmother of Calabash? This is a tradition in our hometown. ♫So lucky I can touch your smile♫ They say that if the child got sick frequently when she was little, it would be better to get her a competent godmother. If you don’t mind… ♫So lucky I can meet you♫ Of course I don’t. What does it take to be a godmother? Should I pack a red envelope or… ♫Let me hold your tiny hands♫ Or buy her gold and silver bracelets? We can put this behind. Don’t you exchange your contacts first? Exactly. ♫Courage grows in my mind♫ Right. Du Di, the phone’s in my pocket. Come. I’ll add you. ♫Let me keep your company through seasons♫ We came in such a hurry. In a few days, we will be well prepared, and invite Dr. Wu to dinner. That would be the ceremony. ♫Keep all your growth in my heart♫ Let me invite you to our family group chat. So you will see the photos and videos of the baby any time. ♫I heard the happiest cry♫ If you have time, you are welcome to come to our home. You must be excellent to be a doctor in Shengji. ♫Even the air is sweet♫ Calabash can learn from her godmother. So great. Let me take ♫Your eyes is full of the kindness over the world♫ a family photo for you. Okay. Take a photo. Godmother, stand in the middle. Yeah. Come. ♫You’re the miracle made by heaven♫ One, two, three. Calabash. Calabash. ♫I heard the happiest cry♫ Don’t pout, it’s ugly. No, it’s cute. Change one. One, two, three. ♫Now life is meaningful♫ Natural labor. Calabash, you have a godmother now! ♫I’ll be with you in the future♫ ♫You keep all the beautiful things♫ Have you seen enough? Never get enough. The more I see, the more I like her. Look how cute my goddaughter is. ♫I love you♫ Look at her legs and arms. So sturdy. Who would have thought that she had undergone surgery in her mother’s womb? You feel accomplished? Particularly. Are you still quitting? Although not everything goes according to your plan, occasional surprises make a difference, too. As a doctor, hard work always pays off. Where are you going? The resignation letter. Before Director Huang submits it, I gotta hurry and get it back. Be fast. All obstetricians are swift. Du Di, our competition continues. Du Di. Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come? I have no time for you. How can you talk to us like this? We are your parents. Are you here to quarrel? Du Di. I’m… four months pregnant. Mom, you’re 50. Are you crazy? We just had a 48-year-old pregnant woman. She was so healthy but she got broken down laboring. Are you kidding me? We did not break any rules or policies. This is not about rules or policies. Have you cared for my mom’s health? Your mother is in good health. It was your idea. You want another child. Did you force her? You still want a son, right? There’s nothing wrong with me wanting another child. Are you crazy? Stop, stop yelling. How dare you talk to me like that? You have a doctorate. Have you learnt nothing from school? Go back home and do a check-up first. You don’t have a say in this. Set up a file for your mother in Shengji. Why in Shengji? There are so many hospitals in our hometown, why do you have to come here? Everyone in our hometown knows that you’re a doctor in Shengji. Why should I go to other hospitals? I don’t care. You made this happen. You deal with it. You… You’re getting unreasonable. You studied in the medical school for eight years, and how much did you cost me for accommodation and tuition? Now you even refuse to do a little favor for us. You’re ungrateful. Who told me to quit my Ph.D. because it was costly and forced me to make money after getting the undergraduate degree? You never cared for me. The tuition was borrowed from my grandmother. How much did you spend on me? Have you ever counted it? Tell me now and I’ll give it back to you. You… Stop it. It’s not easy for us to reunite. You, go over there. Let me talk with her. Du Di, your dad isn’t that bad as you think. Mom, do you remember what did you tell me every time when Grandma complained when I was little? I… You said as long as I’m with you, it’s enough. As long as I work hard, Grandma wouldn’t blame me anymore. I tried my best. I’m the only doctor in our family and then what? And then you complain every day that why I’m not a boy. What does it mean to you for everything I’ve gone through, and all the efforts I have put in? Am I born to be humiliated? No, Mom didn’t mean to. We love you so much. Don’t tell me that. Daughters don’t deserve love in our home. Du Di. Will she set the file for you? Not yet. I told you she is stubborn. You insisted on coming to beg her. Now we came all the way here and she doesn’t even buy us a meal. What should we do now? What can we do? Find a hotel first. I’ll go to her every day. I don’t believe she doesn’t file. Pastry, I am the first to work today. So active, and diligent. Will Du Di be touched by me? Morning. Morning. Di, what are you doing in the classroom so early? Bonding with mold. Mold? The ugly one? Better than you. You are really the most manly woman I have ever met. Watch your tongue. I just saved you. I didn’t choke. I didn’t need the Heimlich maneuver. I could just pat myself back to life. It’s all your fault, making me be a cleaner early in the morning. Thank you, Di. Thank you for saving my life. Just go change. There are two delivery surgeries. Yes, madam. My pastry. Doctor, help me with this. Who are you looking for? Is there a doctor named Du Di working here? Yes, she should be busy in the delivery room now. What do you want from her? Let’s just leave and come back this afternoon. We’re not leaving. We’ll just wait for her here. I won’t leave until she sets up a file for you. Okay, you’re the family members of her. You can wait in the office. Okay. -Okay.
-Thanks. Let me help you. No, it’s fine. It’s okay. Thanks. Here, this way. Come. This is Du Di’s workstation. You can sit here and have a rest. Okay. Give me the bag. Come. Come. I’ll pour you some water. Okay, thanks. Please sit down. All doctors are like this, having no time for their family when they’re at work. Have some water first. Okay. Go ahead and drink. I’ll go check if she finishes the work. I’ll call her over later. Thank you, son. You’re welcome. No.4 bed is a bit special, you have to tell me after the urine protein data comes out. What are you looking for, Dr. Li? Did you see Congrui? She’s in the classroom. I just saw her finish practicing the delivery. Should be out soon. Okay. Congrui. Come. I have something to tell you. What’s wrong? The two people in the office are Du Di’s father and mother. Her parents are here? Why didn’t she say anything? They are looking for Du Di. But Du Di can’t get out of the delivery room for a while. It’s not appropriate for me to entertain them. Can you go check on them? Okay, I’ll go right now. Uncle, aunt. I’m Wu Congrui. Hi. I’m Du Di’s friend. You are Congrui. I heard of you from Du Di. We have been very close friends since college. What do you want from her? Du Di has two delivery surgeries now. I’m afraid she won’t come back for a while. Then we’ll wait. You can tell me. We’re close as sisters. We share everything. Okay. Dr. Wu, can you help your aunt set a file? Congratulations, aunt. Set a file for you? How old are you? 50. 50? Sorry, I don’t mean anything. The oldest woman I helped deliver is only 48. Here is the case. There must be high-risk factors if you come from other places. No, you are 50. Of course there are risks. No. These high-risk factors are according to medical tests. You confused me. How about this? I’ll take you to our Director Tian. That would be great. Let’s go. Let’s go, aunt. Slow down. It’s okay. Be careful, aunt. Come, aunt. Be careful. Sit down. All the procedures have been done. From now on, you will be Director Tian’s patient. Here. Okay. Thank you, Dr. Wu. Thank you for all the errands you’ve run for the whole morning. Can we invite you to lunch? No need. Du Di helps me a lot usually. We’re close friends. We should help each other, shouldn’t we? You should just leave. I won’t do it for you. We don’t need you. We’ve already done it. I helped them and got it all done. Director Tian received them herself. Can you stay out of it? How can I? You’re too busy for this. This is not about me being busy. Then what is it? Aunt, it is fine. Just sit here. Hi, aunt, uncle. Hi. Why didn’t you ask me first? It was your mother. Will you help me too if it was my mother? You don’t understand. They can set up a file in the local hospital, but they just won’t. And my mom is 50. I don’t care. I won’t use Shengji’s medical resources to satisfy my dad’s vanity. I’ll ask them to go back. What you say is always true, but Director Tian didn’t accept her because she is your mother. I didn’t tell her it was your mother. I told her, she’s my relative. Anyway, you know what, after all the check-ups, your mother is really at high risk. She has high blood pressure and diabetes. Director Tian said if she was in the local hospital, she would definitely be persuaded terminating the pregnancy. But in Shengji, we can try to keep the baby. Then terminate it. Why bother? That’s a new life. Your blood. Okay, think about it, if this is not your parents’ child, would you ask her to abort it or keep it? Okay, stop being angry. Rationally, I should help her. Reasonably, I’m a doctor, and I should persuade her to keep the baby. So you mean, I’m irrational and unreasonable? No, no. That’s not what I meant. Look at me. You be responsible for the patient you received. It’s none of my business. All right. I’ll be responsible for it. You don’t have to do anything. But, can we have lunch together? You have surgery this afternoon. You can’t do it without eating anything. I’m telling you, to make you happy, I spent a lot of money today to get you this big drumstick. It was very expensive. Eat some. Then I’ll take your mother for ultrasound this afternoon. Fine. Copy that. Uncle, have some soup. Aunt, eat more. You just said you and Du Di are colleagues? To be precise, she is my senior and mentor. She has students now? She is awesome. Although she is a resident physician for only three years, under the leadership of the chief director, she has done a lot of primary operations. And she practices the skills diligently, and has superb surgical techniques. I lack clinical experience, so the director particularly asked her to teach me. What’s the use of that? She is so old and still single. Have you seen her boyfriend? This is her private matter. I’m not familiar. I heard they are together since college. Why are they still not married? Our relatives always ask why she’s still not married since she’s 29 now. Is there anything wrong with her? Don’t say that about our daughter. The relatives said that. What’s wrong with not getting married at 29? If she wants it, she can stay unmarried when she gets 39, 49, 59, 69, or 99. There is nothing wrong with it. People will laugh at her. Uncle, aunt. How is the food here? Good. It’s great. You guys are so nice. You helped me, and invited us to lunch. Better than my own daughter. We’re good. We want to go back to the hotel and rest. You go back to work. Aunt. The maternity check is at 2:00 PM. I’ll take you there.
