Heart to Tianshan

Shanghai cardiologist Gu Qing, at the crossroads of her life and career, resolutely chose to join the medical team aiding Xinjiang and set foot on the land where her mother had struggled. When she traveled 3,000 kilometers from the bustling city to the Gobi Desert in southern Xinjiang, she was greeted not only by the vast and majestic snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, but also by rudimentary medical conditions, different cultural customs, and the initial scrutiny of the herdsmen. Here, she met the old director Zhou Shi'an who stuck to her beliefs, the enthusiastic but reckless young doctor Sun Wei, and the Uyghur head nurse Patiguli who was calm on the outside but hot on the inside. From the initial friction and collision, to riding horses to pastoral areas late at night to rescue children; from the language barrier, to sharing life and death in the face of mudslide disasters; from being misunderstood and questioned, to winning trust with sincerity and professionalism - this group of doctors from Shanghai completed a spiritual baptism at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. When the period of aid to Xinjiang expires, some people choose to stay and put down roots, while others return with the gifts of this land. And Gu Qing finally understood the deep emotions behind her mother's old photo, and understood what a doctor's kindness is and what his deep love for this land is. This is a spiritual inheritance that spans time and space, and it is also a hymn of the times about life, faith and hope.
