Zhang Yuyang from the Department of Rehabilitation was awakened by a rehabilitation practitioner because his grandfather suffered hemiplegia due to a stroke, and he has since determined to "let more people stand up again." Wu Nan from the Department of Nursing has been obsessed with "gently protecting life" because of the words "Don't be afraid" from her nurse sister when she was hospitalized as a child.
There was an accident at the stairway on the sixth floor. Nursing manuals were scattered all over the floor. When he bent down, his fingertips touched hers, and the smell of disinfectant mixed with a green heartbeat. From the professional competition in club recruitment, to the tacit understanding of volunteering in nursing homes, to the late-night hand-in-hand teaching in the training building, two young people with the same original intention made an agreement with a pot of cactus named "Xiaoyang" by the riverside at the age of 18 - "to keep the bottom line of the profession and each other."
But reality is never gentle. Wu's mother's fierce opposition, the estrangement between internships in a different place, and the sharp opposition between "protecting you" and "sticking to your post" when the epidemic struck, gradually caused the two sincere hearts to drift apart. He used "control" to express his worries, and she used "silence" to stick to her responsibilities. The once tacit understanding turned into a misunderstanding, and the tightly held hands finally loosened.
Three years later, he became the backbone of the rehabilitation department, leading public welfare projects to illuminate poor patients; she became the head nurse of the neurology department, leading the team to win provincial nursing awards. Reunited under the spotlight of an academic conference, the two looked at each other across the crowd. Their eyes were filled with joy at each other's growth and relief at the period of youth that ended without illness.
The pot of cactus that withered and was turned into dried flowers was always engraved with their original intention: love may end sadly, but persistence and growth will never let down time.
Intention: Love may end regretfully, but perseverance and growth will never let time down.
