2578.2479 Documentary (Middle) (Alliance Leader Wind Sand Sky Dance Bonus Chapter 5)

"I am Jiang Chongqing, I am the Head of the Intervention Department of Pengxi Xiang Hospital." The thin figure in front of the screen spoke slowly.

Director Jiang's thick Sichuan accent came through, and Zheng Ren felt his nose tingling.

Over the past six months or so, there hasn't been much contact with Director Jiang; he invited Zheng Ren to get together several times, but Zheng Ren always declined, saying the Nobel Prize project was too busy.

Zheng Ren could not imagine what would happen if he stepped back onto that hot land; he worried he would cry in an unsightly way.

Yi Ren seemed to sense Zheng Ren's emotional fluctuation; her fair hand lightly patted his hand, gesturing comfort.

Director Jiang had grown thinner, but his spirits looked good.

"Speaking of Boss Zheng……You guys aren't here to doubt, are you? I said Boss Zheng wore lead clothing and performed surgery here for three days and three nights, but many people don't believe it, you youngsters."

"Oh, is that so? Then let's start recording again, and cut out the previous parts."

"I am Jiang Chongqing, Head of the Intervention Department of Pengxi Xiang Hospital. The first time I saw Boss Zheng was during the earthquake relief. Two young people in military uniforms came to Pengxi Xiang to report, saying they were here to provide support."

"At the time, looking at them, I thought they were students from some medical university. This was the first time I got the news, and I came straight in. Let me tell you, those who got the news a bit later and arrived a bit later were all stopped outside."

"At first I didn't think about what they could do; just being an assistant would be fine. But when Boss Zheng went on stage and performed a surgery, I was dumbfounded."

"Pelvic fracture interventional embolization……You think it's simple? When I first became a doctor, patients with severe pelvic fractures were treated with hemostatic drugs and blood transfusions, relying on the pressure of a large retroperitoneal hematoma to let the blood vessels clot on their own. To put it bluntly, whether they lived or died was just a matter of luck."

"Don't talk nonsense; who would dare to do this kind of surgery? If you cut open, blood would just gush out, and no one in surgery dares to open it. Later, with interventional surgery, we finally had an effective way to treat it."

"I am a vascular interventional doctor; I normally don't do this kind of surgery. But back then, we were forced to do it, and I was the only one here who could do it—I had no choice."

"Well, I, performing one such procedure takes at least 4-5 hours."

"It's not that my skill is lacking; Old Jiang here has a fairly high level in this area—don't believe me, go find someone to test it."

"Never mind that, never mind that. Before Boss Zheng arrived, I was so anxious my heart felt broken; working 24 hours a day without leaving the table, I could only handle 5-6 patients. By then, large equipment had already been brought to the front line, and severely wounded kept arriving nonstop, piling up outside. Being anxious didn't help; nobody is a god, who could possibly save all the patients?"

"If we couldn't handle it, we'd transfer patients; ambulances from all over the country sent people to the various hospitals in Rongcheng. I thought our place was just a forward outpost—with my level, I could only do a few surgeries, just enough to ease the pressure a bit for those behind. And so it went until Boss Zheng arrived……"

When talking about Zheng Ren, Director Jiang's thin face broke into a smile. He scratched his head, sighed, and said, "Don't say those youngsters don't believe it; even when I first watched the surgery, I didn't believe it either—Boss Zheng's surgery was done so fast!"

"I've said it's not related to my skill level, so why don't you believe me? I'm really capable!"

"Later, Professor Mu from Pengcheng also came to support; he is a top-tier interventional specialist nationwide. Professor Mu's surgery takes about two hours. I only have two operating rooms here; Boss Zheng occupies one, and Professor Mu and Boss Zheng's assistant Yun Ge'er share the other."

"Yun Ge'er? He's several years younger than me; I'm happy to call him Yun Ge'er—go ahead and bite me!"

"Cut that segment just now, don't broadcast it."

Accidents frequently occurred in the documentary, but during post‑production editing, those cut‑out segments were not removed, making it seem even more real.

"Three days and three nights, Boss Zheng wore lead clothing and stood in the operating room for three days and three nights. He barely drank water, ate… my wife had prepared food and sent it over; when there was an aftershock, he stumbled and fell. Anyway, Boss Zheng said he had no time to eat. Later I almost knelt and begged him, and that's when he finally ate a bite."

"Boss Zheng is as tough as iron—no need to say it. In a moment I'll have you put on lead clothing and try it; being able to stand for two or three hours would already be a complaint, let alone having to perform surgery while exposed to radiation."

"Never mind you guys, my health looks okay, right? Since Boss Zheng arrived, I've stopped doing surgeries and just handle patient transport. Not doing surgery, I wore myself out for over two days and then had a heart attack."

"A heart attack—really, you youngsters, you're blockheads."

"Just then, as we were about to send the patient off, Boss Zheng suddenly told me not to move. I thought he might be suffering from low blood sugar, but who knew it was me having the infarction. Lying on the operating table, I took an ECG, and it showed tombstone lines!"

"There's nothing to explain; go look it up yourself. At the time I lay on the operating table, I almost cried. You say I didn't do any work and just added trouble. This person, you know, when you get old, you're just old."

"Later, Boss Zheng removed the coronary artery clot from me, and I was sent to the ward to lie down."

"What? This side? This side has Boss Zheng present; at the time, near the earthquake disaster zone there were seven transfer bases, and our Pengxi Xiang was the one sending the fewest pelvic fracture patients to Rongcheng—basically we did the surgeries on site."

"Later, as the number of patients being transferred from the front line decreased, Boss Zheng also left. After working three days and three nights, he had only drunk a little water and eaten half a meal. When I saw him eating, he looked like he was about to fall asleep; I felt sorry but could do nothing, because there were too many wounded piled up outside."

"Later I went to Rongcheng for a meeting and heard that Boss Zheng went straight to the Provincial Hospital, where he performed amputations. Right, later Boss Zheng set up a fund, and many of the prosthetics fitted for amputees were bought by him."

"I don't know; after I went to the ward, I never saw Boss Zheng again. After the earthquake relief ended, I contacted him twice, saying he was busy with the Nobel Prize project."

Director Jiang's expression showed a hint of regret, but he quickly cheered up, saying, "Our side's post‑disaster reconstruction is finished, Boss Zheng also won the Nobel Prize, we definitely should get together. This has been agreed upon with Boss Zheng long ago."

The speaker's voice gradually faded to barely audible, Director Jiang's face began to blur, but it was not like the switch from interviewing Zhou Chun Yong to Director Jiang.

Several black‑and‑white images appeared on the screen, footage taken by Sun Zeli when she rushed to the front line of the earthquake relief.

Mountains collapsed and the earth split, the sky filled with red clouds.

Freezing rain and a landslide‑dam lake, a line of receding figures gradually turned into the image of a surgery being performed on the operating table.

【At that time, Doctor Zheng Ren bore the Nobel Prize project, yet without hesitation he rushed to the front line at the first moment.】
