Protagonist:
Fang Ziye
The greater the capability, the greater the responsibility, and the broader the vision.
Fang Ziye is an Associate Professor, Deputy Director Physician, and Researcher, currently the Discipline Leader of Orthopedics in Hubei Province, and one of the well-known experts and researchers in the Eastern Han Orthopedic Circle and Surgical Circle; Fang Ziye's status is not low.
Fang Ziye's annual salary that he can routinely obtain each year, even without doing surgeries on the side, can reach 1.8 million after tax.
But this money is actually just the minority; there are other subsidies, and national-level research rewards and awards are the majority. If patent revenue sharing is added on top, Fang Ziye has truly achieved financial freedom.
Currently, Fang Ziye's savings have reached twenty million again...
Actually, an annual income of ten million in Han City is just considered 'small money'; in the entire Eastern Han it might not even rank in the top hundred thousand. However, Fang Ziye's permissions are very high.
Therefore, the scope of vision Fang Ziye can access is different from that of ordinary people.
The video record Fang Ziye just saw was of a child who had already passed away.
Her name was Xiao Longlong; she was born in the Year of the Dragon. She was one year older than Fang Xi Yan.
By rights, she should have been attending kindergarten this year, but after her mother brought her back from Star Heaven to the Human World, the 'filth' of the Human World was unworthy of her, so she returned to Star Heaven again.
At half a year old, she was diagnosed with "multifocal osteosarcoma"!
At the start of the video, it was the footage of her just arriving at the hospital for consultation; she was struggling.
The later videos were footage from a year after she came to the hospital; she was avoiding...
In the end, she departed peacefully, leaving the Human World this segment of video, and also a little boy's corneas, and several children's organs...
Her mission might have been to incarnate as an angel who saves people, but saving people requires paying a price and enduring suffering.
So the Human World only left her suffering, and then she ascended on rosy clouds.
Osteosarcoma has many subtypes; the younger the child, if diagnosed with osteosarcoma, the more rapid the progression, truly one of the super 'malignant tumors'...
Fang Ziye's expression did not move; he continued looking at another video.
"A nine-year-old little boy, wearing a patient gown, earnestly doing homework."
"His build was thin and frail..." This is an explanatory video.
"Actually he wasn't doing homework; homework, exam grades, to him held little meaning..."
As the video slowly scrolled, Fang Ziye only then saw the content he had written earnestly: "Dad, Mom, I love you so much."
"Dad, Mom, I can't bear to leave you..."
A nine-year-old child understands nothing. He almost only knew he had to study; as long as Dad and Mom would love him, he couldn't bear to part with his Dad and Mom; everything else, he couldn't comprehend at all.
These real medical case records were not sent to Fang Ziye on someone else's initiative; rather, Fang Ziye himself went and actively sought them out.
The microcirculation instrument combined chemotherapy regimen can indeed allow many bone tumor patients to obtain a good prognosis, but some tumors common in children have very poor efficacy in this combined regimen.
According to current statistics, the mortality rate of pediatric bone tumors has not improved much compared to before the combined chemotherapy regimen.
Although they are special types of bone tumors, every year the tumors take away little angel babies; in Eastern Han, per million children an average of around 100 die from tumors.
Every year approximately 25,000 children under 15 suffer from malignant tumors!
Compared to adults, the incidence rate is not high, but the development speed of pediatric tumors is faster than in adults!
Pediatrics actually has nothing to do with Fang Ziye; before Fang Xi Yan, Fang Ziye didn't pay much attention to pediatrics matters.
But Fang Xi Yan is Fang Ziye's daughter; what child doesn't get sick and hospitalized?
Fang Ziye personally witnessed three children pass away during hospitalization; children, with their innocent and unrestrained natures, don't pass away so obediently — when getting injections in the ward, they struggled until their whole bodies were covered in bloodstains...
Fang Ziye certainly doesn't have that much sentiment, but as a father, he truly cannot bear to see such scenes.
So, recently, Fang Ziye would look for corresponding short videos to watch, to see if he can lean toward the pediatric tumor direction, whether he can think of a relatively superior treatment plan.
There is no other reason; it's just because Fang Ziye encountered it.
If Fang Ziye hadn't taken Xi Yan to pediatrics for hospitalization, Fang Ziye wouldn't have noticed.
If it were Fang Ziye's parents who went somewhere for hospitalization, what Fang Ziye might have seen would be the 'suffering' of the elderly!
But his parents are in good health, so the scope of vision Fang Ziye can focus on is just what he himself sees and hears...
"Papa, Papa."
"Let's go compete, okay? There's a competition over there, the prize is a really, really big doll." Fang Xi Yan didn't know when she had run over, speaking innocently.
Fang Ziye hurriedly turned off his phone, not wanting Fang Xi Yan to see the videos he was intently watching.
She is still just a child, and his own child at that, so Fang Ziye doesn't want her to experience these worldly impermanences too early.
"Mm, okay! ~" Fang Ziye stood up.
An hour later, Fang Ziye apologetically said: "Sorry ah Xi Yan, Dad can't compare to that uncle; he runs too fast. Dad lost."
Fang Xi Yan was a bit disappointed, secretly enviously watching another little boy take away the big doll she wanted, saying: "He runs faster than a rabbit, hmph!"
"It's just running; if it were comparing treating illness and saving people, Dad with one hand could beat all the other dads! ~"
Fang Xi Yan naturally also knew Fang Ziye had tried hard, but Fang Ziye isn't good at sprinting, so he only got third place.
"Xi Yan, how about Dad accompanies you to build a sandcastle? We'll go get buckets and dig sand." Fang Ziye knows that dealing with children requires diverting their attention.
"Okay okay! ~" Children are easy to trick, and easy to coax.
As long as you don't spoil them, and absolutely don't do things you've decided cannot be done, they won't be that willful.
Fang Xi Yan played very happily, sticking out her buttocks, covered in sand all over, laughing like a fool too.
Similarly, Fang Ziye, Fang Nan, Liang Xia and the others also had sand all over them; Fang Xi Yan's shovel didn't only target herself.
But Xi Yan counts as rule-abiding; she only splashed sand on Fang Ziye and the others, very obediently not splashing anyone else...
At this moment, Fang Xi Yan made another friend, a little boy one year older than her, and the two of them used Fang Xi Yan's tools to build models.
Fang Xi Yan was still teaching the other child to pack the sand inward, so the shape would hold tighter.
Under the sunset, the innocence of the two children could melt one's world.
Because Fang Ziye's world was only the world he could see, unable to empathize with others' perspectives.
On the beach, many children were playing, each enjoying themselves thoroughly.
Of course, the crying babies cried with equal gusto, and the stubborn brats wanting to wade into deeper water were clamped in their parents' arms, stiff as boards...
At this moment, Fang Ziye's heart settled.
The next research project would be pediatric tumor-related; even if this project lacked significant economic benefit, its sociological significance was incomparable to many other projects...
Xi Yan played until exhausted, clung to Fang Ziye, and fell asleep.
Fang Ziye refused to hand her over to either Grandma, so Aunt Min Limin drove, bringing several people home.
In the evening, after Jie Han and Lan Tianluo finished surgery, they came over at the first opportunity to freeload a meal.
After Jie Han entered and washed his hands, while changing shoes, he politely asked, "Aunt Min, is the meal expense I left used up? It should be almost gone..."
