《Small Town Remedy》Highlights

Liu Zhengliang was once a young backbone of the neurosurgery department of a hospital in Shenzhen. He was accustomed to speaking on his own merits and believed that rigorous judgment and precise surgery could solve problems.A failed out-of-hospital surgery interrupted his career path.It was snowing heavily on the day of the surgery, the snow phobia left over from childhood suddenly broke out, and the patient also had complex cerebrovascular problems.After that, liability identification, compensation and dismissal came one after another. He lost all his savings, and even the car he finally wanted to sell for turnover was unable to save due to an accident.Just when life was in trouble, his brother Liu Zhengguang called with news: his mother Li Zhongling was missing.

He hurried back to his hometown in Fucheng in the Northeast, only to learn that his mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer six months ago.She refused treatment, left letters, scarves and bankbooks for her two sons, and left alone.His younger brother posted missing persons notices along the street, but still refused to give up hope; but Liu Zhengliang suppressed the pain in his heart and was eager to deal with the matter at hand.The two brothers each had their own thoughts about their mother's illness, disappearance, and future life. Their reunion after a long absence did not bring them closeness, but instead they quarreled more and more.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhengguang was found to have a cerebral vascular malformation and needed surgery as soon as possible.Liu Zhengliang wanted to perform surgery himself, but because he lost his original job, he had to find a place to practice first.The old man Long Dongdong who was rescued by him before happened to be the director of the local Xiaoximen Hospital.Long Dongdong valued his skills and was willing to accept him, and also borrowed a contract to keep him in the hospital.For the sake of his younger brother, Liu Zhengliang signed the employment agreement, blindfolded himself to avoid the heavy snow outside the window, and rushed into the operating room.

His younger brother escaped from danger. He originally wanted to return to the south immediately, but found that it was difficult for him to leave his job easily.Xiao Ximen's daily life also makes him uncomfortable in every aspect: the building is old and the office door cannot be repaired; some of his colleagues like to joke, some are busy with part-time jobs, and some don't seem to care.He followed the advice of his friend Chen Junnan and deliberately ate snacks, read tablets and slept at work, hoping to get the hospital to fire him. Unexpectedly, not only were they not angry, they even moved a recliner and found a blanket for him.Whenever a patient comes, he can't help but stand up.

Lao Duan was suffering from stones, and he knew he couldn't delay the treatment, but because he was reluctant to give up the money, he repeatedly asked for only infusions and no examinations.Zhang Jiao, a little girl who was involved in a car accident, needed a craniotomy urgently, and her parents were unable to pay for the subsequent hospitalization.Liu Zhengliang discussed plans with Long Dongdong again and again. At first, he only thought about how to cure the disease, but later he had to realize that in addition to diagnosis and treatment, there was also the family's income, the care of relatives, and a patient's willingness to continue living.He fought for fee reductions and affordable solutions for patients, and gradually understood the seemingly irregular but considerate persistence of his colleagues.

The straightforward Ai Chen runs the 1314 funeral supplies store, and Liu Zhengguang also helped in the store.She accompanied her family members to bid farewell to their loved ones, and became familiar with many doctors and patients in the hospital. She saw Liu Zhengliang's concentration when rescuing people, and also saw his reluctance to show his vulnerability.Ai Chen took the initiative to pursue him, but he always said that the two of them were not suitable.She had literacy difficulties since she was a child and relied on sounds to remember knowledge. She learned to make a living early and took care of Caizhu and her family. Although he had read many books, he often couldn't express his feelings and didn't know how to comfort the people in front of him.The two people gradually got closer through quarrels, misunderstandings and mutual care.

Liu Zhengliang's fear of snow began when he witnessed his father being killed in an ice diving accident.His mother once sent him to the south, hoping that he would stay away from those memories, but he could not truly understand it for many years.After returning to his hometown, his mother's death once again plunged him into silence. His colleagues took turns to comfort him, and Che Mingming used a duet to evoke his memories of his mother, which finally made him burst into tears.Liu Zhengguang complained that his brother was indifferent, but he was always the first to rush out to defend him when in trouble.Both brothers took many faults upon themselves, and had to slowly learn to let each other go after arguing again and again.

When Zhang Jiao woke up, Liu Zhengliang fulfilled his promise to the dean and finally left Fucheng.But the road south did not lead directly to a new life.He was rescuing a pregnant woman on the train, but lost her luggage while taking the train to the hospital. His scheduled work suddenly failed, so he had to stay in Bengbu temporarily.There he met the seemingly rebellious young man Zhou Zheng, and gradually learned that this young man was hiding a serious illness, and also understood the reason why he was alienated from his mother.Ai Chen chased him around, hoping to take him home.Faced with an irreversible disease, Liu Zhengliang still wanted to escape the pain by leaving, but Ai Chen persuaded him that even if he couldn't be saved, he could still accompany him.

Liu Zhengliang returned to Xiaoximen again and decided to try spending a winter in his hometown first.At this time, the hospital suffered serious losses and was facing cancellation. Long Dongdong was running around, and the doctors and nurses were also leaving.Chen Junnan has to face whether he wants to be a doctor, Che Mingming takes care of his father while striving to get a Ph.D., and Liu Zhengguang repeatedly chooses between going out to work and starting a business in his hometown.The hospital is being re-prepared, patients are arriving one after another, and people around them are also experiencing weddings, illnesses and farewells.Liu Zhengliang did not cure his snow phobia all at once, but he gradually became willing to stay, responded to Ai Chen's feelings seriously, accepted the care of his friends, continued to receive medical treatment and surgery at Xiaoximen, and faced the coming days with the people here.
