April 2024 is a day that is both ordinary and full of special significance. Tan Qindong, the master of medicine who rose to prominence in the public eye a few years ago because of the "Hongmao Medicine and Liquor Incident", at this moment, because of the troubles of illness, he had to end his beloved and struggled for many years as a doctor ahead of schedule and left his beloved post.
Tan Qindong, who has entered the age of not being confused, stood in front of the mirror, and his deep eyes revealed a tiredness that could not be concealed. He picked up the reading glasses on the side, put them on, and carefully examined himself in the mirror - he was once heroic, but now he has gray temples and a haggard face. However, the corners of his mouth always maintain a faint smile, and his heart is still burning with endless love for life.
His eyes turned to the guitar next to him, which was his last spiritual sustenance in prison. He gently held it in his arms and played the strings rhythmically, the beautiful melody instantly echoing through the room. This is his greatest pleasure at the moment, and it is also his last reliance - to use the power of music to warm himself, heal the wounds of his soul, and take a firm step forward.
Time seems to go back to 2017, when Tan Qindong was still a young and promising doctor, with the lofty ideal of saving lives, and devoted himself to the vast world of the Internet. At that time, his father was bewitched by the so-called "miraculous curative" Hongmao medicinal liquor, and he was convinced of it. Faced with such a false propaganda that endangers health, Tan Qindong decided to come forward and write an opinion piece to reveal the truth of the matter.
As a Master of Medicine, Tan Qindong has conducted in-depth and detailed research on the ingredients of Hongmao medicinal wine. After rigorous analysis, he found that this so-called "divine wine" not only does not have any medical effect, but may even have a negative impact on the health of some people. Out of professional ethics and a strong sense of social responsibility, he did not hesitate to splash ink and write an in-depth commentary of thousands of words with enthusiasm.
As soon as the article was published, it immediately caused a huge response on the Internet. The sharply worded and clear-cut criticism pointed directly at the false propaganda of Hongmao Medicinal Liquor, which caused the reputation of this century-old pharmaceutical and liquor company to suffer a heavy blow. The company was panicked, and the employees quickly launched an investigation, and finally found Tan Qindong's traces.
Mr. Tan Qindong once worked in one of the top tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province, and his outspoken and courageous personality earned him the respect and appreciation of his colleagues in the hospital. However, this characteristic made his words a little sharp and strong in expressing his views, which eventually led to the outbreak of unfortunate events.
In the days when Mr. Tan Qindong devoted himself to work, a sudden phone call completely broke his originally peaceful rhythm of life.
"Hello, are you Dr. Tan Qindong from Guangzhou *** Hospital? We are the case-handling personnel of a county public security bureau in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and there is a case that needs your assistance to cooperate with the investigation......
The other party's tone was cold and blunt, even threatening. Mr. Tan Qindong was puzzled for a while, and his heart was full of doubts. He thought it was just some routine affairs within the hospital, but he didn't expect it to come from the public security organs in the distant Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
"May I ask ...... you mean?"
However, before he could finish his sentence, there was silence on the other end of the line, leaving only an unsettling silence. Mr. Tan Qindong subconsciously turned to his wife Song Hye Kyo for help, and Song Hye Kyo also had a confused and helpless expression. The husband and wife discussed word by word, and finally decided to go to find out the truth of the matter.
However, they clearly underestimated the gravity of the situation. That night, a group of armed men dressed in black and wearing face masks suddenly broke into their home, pinned Mr. Tan to the ground, read out a document in a forceful manner, and then forcibly took him away.
Faced with such a sudden change, Ms. Song Hye Kyo was terrified, and tears fell like beads of broken thread. It all came so suddenly, and she couldn't bear the harsh reality.
The next morning, after careful consideration, Ms. Song Hye Kyo strengthened her belief in seeking justice for her husband. She contacted a talented lawyer with a sense of justice, hoping to clear her husband's grievances through legal means.
In the days that followed, she kept going from one department to another. At the same time, she searched around where her husband was being held, and eventually learned that he was being held in a detention center in Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
At the same time, Mr. Tan Qindong, who was trapped in the detention center, lived like a year. Every day, he would read the article he had written over and over again, trying to find out what might be wrong and justify himself.
"I didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to be able to raise public alert......" he whispered to himself, full of contradictions and struggles.
As the days passed, apart from the constant echoing shouts in the cell, Tan Qindong no longer felt any fluctuations from the outside world. As time passed, it wasn't until his wife, Song Hye Kyo, through unremitting efforts, found a remarkable lawyer who successfully rescued him from his predicament!
Although he regained his freedom, the shadow in Tan Qindong's heart still lingered. After he was released from prison, he fell into extreme mental distress and anxiety, and even had several thoughts of hopelessness and giving up on life.
When night fell, loneliness and loneliness silently eroded his sanity. Facing the darkness alone, his mind often wanders, and all kinds of strange thoughts come to him.
The thought of self-destruction also flashed through Tan Qindong's heart, and he began to question whether his life was still valuable. The only thing that sustained him to stay alive was simply because of his young children and years of academic commitment.
During this difficult stage, Song Hye Kyo was always by her husband's side and witnessed his every pain, anger, and confusion. She patiently listened to her husband's heart, comforted his heart with soft words, and guided him to think deeply.
The uninterrupted companionship and persuasion day and night finally made Tan Qindong gradually get out of the haze and rekindle his hope for life.
However, the Hongmao medicine and liquor incident was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Tan Qindong's career. Although he had expressed his sincere apologies to Hongmao Pharmaceutical and Liquor Company, the case was not properly resolved due to the lack of direct evidence that the company had indeed suffered significant economic losses.
However, such an ending also means that Tan Qindong will never be able to return to his former job. As a doctor with a bright future, he became unemployed in an instant, and his life path changed dramatically.
Most of the family's financial burden falls on Song Hye Kyo alone. She had to go around raising money to ensure her family's basic needs were met. Every day is busy until late at night, and she almost falls asleep in a state of exhaustion.
However, for the sake of her husband and children, she is willing to endure all difficulties.
So, in just one year, time flies by. Until one day, our protagonist Song Hye Kyo, with her endless perseverance and determination, paved the way for her husband Tan Qindong to become a doctor, so that he could find an ordinary doctor's position in a private clinic opened by a friend. Although the salary is far less than in the past, it is undoubtedly a great expectation and encouragement for Tan Qindong who has returned to the workplace.
Since then, their lives have gradually returned to normal. Song Hye Kyo was finally able to take off the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders and take care of her husband and children at home wholeheartedly. Although the family's financial situation is stretched, they still live a warm and harmonious life, as if they have regained that long-lost sense of happiness.
However, late one night in December 2023, Tan Qindong suddenly felt severe pain in his lower back, which made him sweat coldly and couldn't even keep standing. Seeing this, Song Hye Kyo immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital for treatment.
After a meticulous examination, the doctor's authoritative and firm diagnosis shocked everyone -- Tan Qindong actually suffered from serious kidney failure! If he could not receive timely and effective treatment, his life would be threatened at all times.
"Doctor, am I really ......?"
As an experienced healer, Tan Qindong knows the horrors of kidney failure. The diagnosis was like a punch to his heart. He choked up, unable to bear such a harsh reality.
The doctor looked solemn and explained his condition to Tan Qindong in detail - according to the results of the examination, his kidney function had failed to only 15%, which belonged to the fourth stage of chronic kidney disease. The only way to save your life is to start dialysis right away while you wait for a kidney transplant.
"Your current condition is critical, and you must be hospitalized immediately and start dialysis treatment, otherwise you could be in danger of your life at any time......"
In the face of such a serious judgment by the doctor, Tan Qindong seemed to have been drained of his soul, and his whole person instantly became empty and powerless. He never expected that after all the hardships of life, fate would play such a cruel joke on him again.
Song Hye Kyo looked at her husband helplessly, tears rolling in her eyes. She tried her best to comfort Tan Qindong with strong and optimistic words, but the pain in her heart could not be concealed no matter what.
The next day, Tan Qindong was immediately admitted to the hospital and began a long and arduous career in hospitalization and dialysis. Whenever he saw his blood being drawn out, circulated through a special device, and then flowing back into his body, he couldn't help but fall into deep memories, reminiscing about those days of life and vitality.
However, the cruel truth is that he is now slowly entering the end of his life. Although dialysis technology can maintain the breath of life in a short period of time, it cannot prevent the eventual failure of kidney function, so we have to wait patiently for the miracle of organ transplantation to come.
