After failing the college entrance exam, Lin Buyi is working at an electronics factory in Guangdong when panic over SARS breaks out.
On his way back to his hometown in Huangshan, he gets caught in the rain and develops a high fever. A wandering physician brings him around.
The physician uses just three ingredients: “Ephedra, apricot kernels, and licorice. Together, they are called the Three-Unbinding Decoction.”
After the fever breaks, the physician looks at Lin Buyi's hands. “Long, slender fingers and mysterious lines in your palm. You were born for this work.”
Before leaving, the physician gives him three yellowed handwritten volumes. On the cover are the words “Fragments of the Xin'an School of Medicine.”
Lin Buyi opens the books, and a thousand-year-old legacy of traditional Chinese medicine begins to unfold.
