Along the Road of Medicine, I'll Be With You

“Lu Ping, if one day you had to choose between your dream of medicine and me, which would you choose?” Jiang Tianhai asked this question, but Lu Ping did not answer. Instead, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s break up.” Four years later, Lu Ping needed test data, and Tianhai provided it. Lu Ping needed a translation, and Tianhai provided it. Lu Ping needed to publish a paper, and Tianhai introduced her to a top international journal. Lu Ping needed money, and Tianhai established a fund for her. Lu Ping always thought that someone else was the one providing her with endless support, until one day she saw a familiar profile picture. It turned out that Tianhai had never broken her promise. She had been silently protecting and helping him all along. Only by then, Tianhai was already walking toward the wedding hall with someone else. Lu Ping rushed into the wedding hall. “You once asked me, if one day I had to choose between you and my dream of medicine, which would I choose? Now I can tell you: I would choose you!” Tianhai said, “No. I don’t want you to make that choice. I’ll help you achieve your dream of medicine.” Years later, Lu Ping stood on the Nobel Prize podium. “The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was seeing you on that stage from the audience when I was a freshman in high school.”
