"Doctor, do you know why the hospital corridors are always so bright late at night?" Shen Guang stepped out of the elevator backwards, a smile blooming on his pale face, "Because the deeper the darkness, the brighter the light appears."
When the redeemer becomes the object of redemption
Emergency doctor Jin Chen fights against death every day, but cannot save his father who died in a car accident five years ago. When he discovered the frail figure on the edge of the rooftop, he instinctively grabbed the other person's wrist - little did he know that this grasp would completely tear apart the high wall he had built.
Shen Guang, 23 years old, terminally ill patient, former band lead singer. The medical record says "expected survival period 3-6 months", but I am keen to record all the small warmth in the hospital: the nurse's voice coaxing the child, the back view of the old couple holding hands while undergoing chemotherapy, and Dr. Jin who always sees cases alone late at night.
They should be two parallel lines:
One desperately clings to life, the other welcomes death calmly;
One does not believe in eternity, while the other will live in an instant for eternity;
One lost himself in his father's last words, and the other learned to say goodbye with a smile after his sister drowned.
Until Jin Chen discovered that what Shen Guang was looking for late at night was the files of the car accident;
Until Shen Guang's painkiller bottle contained Jin Chen's antidepressants;
Until the unfinished symphony "I Lived Like This" is intertwined with the heartbeat frequencies of two people.
"If life must have meaning," Shen Guang wrote in his last letter, "my goal is to make you fall in love with the world again."
And at the concert hall debut five years later, Jin Chen raised his baton to the stars - the newly discovered asteroid happened to fall on the coordinates Shen Guang had calculated.
Some light, even if it can never be touched, is enough to illuminate the entire night.
Intention: When the redeemer becomes the object of redemption
