In 1926, at the end of Xiafei Road in the Shanghai Public Settlement, there was a small clinic that was about to close down.
Liu Zhiqiu, the sitting doctor, comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine and did not graduate from Western medicine school. His specialty is that he can explain both medicines clearly and intuitively. His ideal in life is simple: keep the clinic open, pay the rent, and pay off the debt of the wonton shop next door.
Until Shen Mobai, the patrolman of the French Concession, kicked open his door for the first time.
"Someone reported you for practicing medicine illegally."
"Inspector Shen, if the wound on your hand is not stitched, it will become infected."
"... Seal you first, then sew you up."
"It's fine to sew and seal again, but it's troublesome to remove the stitches when the flesh has grown."
Shen Mobai looked at his bleeding arm, was silent for three seconds, and sat down.
Later, Shen Mobai became the most loyal "non-staff member" of Liu's Clinic - responsible for driving away medical troubles, recovering consultation fees, and pretending that he was just passing by when Liu Zhiqiu taught foreigners about "Yin Yang and Five Elements".
Later, he became Liu Zhiqiu's landlord, partner, and... The only person who made Liu Zhiqiu feel that "there is something else to do in life besides saving people."
From 1926 to 1930, Shanghai was in a turmoil, with some people fighting for the world and others doing business.
But the two unreliable people at the end of Xiafei Road just want to keep this small clinic open.
——Let's talk about love by the way.
