Chapter 2640

2541. Year-End Summary——You Are My Heroes

The blue planet in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way has completed another revolution around its mother star.

On a larger scale, the solar system is still orbiting the galactic center with a period of 2.5 hundred million years, and the Milky Way itself is likewise undergoing motions in the universe that I cannot imagine.

Earth revolves every day, yet it can never return to the path it once traveled.

We are the same,

Every day the sun rises,

Every day is a brand-new day,

Every day repeats the same joys and sorrows, yet they are never exactly alike.

As for me, such a humble and minuscule carbon-based lifeform, the past year was filled entirely with memories.

Every tip, every Alliance Leader, every TV appearance, every subscription, every monthly ticket, every chapter comment, every thumb‑up—there's no need to repeat all the things I've said before.

To be honest, it's impossible to remember everything, but in the end everything will become subconscious, lodged in the deepest part of my memory.

This is a web novel recording the daily life of doctors, with the theme of heroism.

Still Romain Rolland's saying—there is only one true heroism in the world: to see life's truth clearly and still love life.

Just wrote a lot, then deleted it. Since I started writing the livestream room, I've had this habit—constantly revising, trying again and again to break out of the cocoon.

I remember when this saying was first mentioned, Zheng Lao Ban was still in Hai Cheng; back then, as Inpatient Chief, he earned over three thousand a month, and even to buy a radish cube he had to ask Lin JiaoJiao for money.

On several missions, it was mostly tedious, monotonous, repetitive daily routine—each day just treating patients and saving people.

From the start I never honestly expected to write five million words; to be honest, the outline was only around three million. I think being able to write this much already exceeds expectations.

At the beginning I followed the traditional web novel route, using the storytelling style of past glory that gradually faded—great suffering and deep hatred.

Every day I worried it would flop, because a weak plot could collapse completely. So from the start I've always been cautious, walking each day as if on thin ice.

Later Zheng Lao Ban left Hai Cheng, and I faced two choices—open with the Nobel Prize first or open with the Earthquake Relief strong plot first.

In the end I chose Earthquake Relief.

Because this is the only thing I wanted to write, the segment with the strongest urge to confess.

But I know this segment isn't popular; it's not the current lighthearted, meme‑filled web novel style. I worried it would flop, and I lacked the emotion to finish it properly.

So the day Zheng Lao Ban returned to 912 after leaving Hai Cheng on a mission, he opened this segment.

When making the outline there were only a few points—the last will, forward forward forward, the flag not falling, the army flag not falling, people's hearts not falling, punching collision, three days and three nights, Yi Ren, the great Chinese people are invincible.

On the first day of opening this segment, 24‑hour chase subscriptions plummeted.

Many readers directly cursed, saying it's not okay to just write a medical story properly. During that time I didn't dare look at the chapter comments, silently and persistently writing everything I wanted to write.

Fortunately, although there may be many shortcomings, from my perspective all the points were strung into lines and finally laid out as a surface, and the completion exceeded my expectations.

But I never dared to look back at that segment until a few days ago, when the director from Dongfang TV asked me to find a few summarizing passages. I glanced back, and the final chapter—'The Great Chinese People Are Invincible'—had chapter comments of 99+.

At that moment I burst into tears.

Well, getting back to the point.

I also know the best choice would have been to open with the Nobel Prize first, then reveal this segment in the last three‑quarters. At the time I still lacked confidence in myself, fearing a flop, and couldn't tell everyone what I most wanted to confess.

Zheng Lao Ban returned to 912, and life went on. Then a problem arose—should we stay on the bitter‑and‑deep path, or switch to a light‑hearted, comedic route?

In the end I rejected both.

Medical dramas have several main ways of telling stories: either like House, focusing on cases; or like White Tower and Black Scalpel, digging into the dark side; or like others, with the core being urban romance.

In the end I chose the House model at the end of May.

The main plot progression is what troubles me most—they say quickly write a song that both refined and popular audiences will enjoy, and Zheng Lao Ban's phone ringtone is my trouble.

But now I've figured it out, so I started to push forward quickly.

My mental journey over the past year has basically been like this; the outline has been revised several versions. I previously said it was changed from Director Pan to Xiao Shitou.

The conversation between Zheng Lao Ban and Xiao Shitou, later there was a long talk that set the tone. Their punching collision was both an agreement and an interpretation of heroism.

Bearded Regiment Commander Ming, fully aware of the danger, still had to do some things; Zheng Lao Ban and the little boy were the same.

In my view, they are all heroes!

This kind of front‑back echo is the soul of the livestream room—spirit and form inseparable; I am quite satisfied with it.

Just rattling on about these; achievements and such will be brought up again in the final single chapter upon completion—we're still far from the time to sum up.

The plan is to finish around mid‑March, possibly a bit earlier or later. Plans, after all, are made to be broken.

Thanks to everyone's guardianship over the past year; without your support and care, there would be no livestream room this book.

Finally, a note……today probably shouldn't be considered a dropped chapter; the proxy‑type Munchausen syndrome has been diagnosed, which is a very frightening thing. Speaking of horror level, I think today's story, upon reflection, is extremely terrifying—more so than yesterday's parasitic fetus and Red Bridal Dress.

The rest is, using Zheng Lao Ban's eyes, a sketch description of the supporting character Director Lin. Supporting characters can't appear often—even Feng Xu Hui and Chang Yue are the same. Is this giving Director Lin a boxed meal? Hey.

Not a dropped chapter, really—if we changed the time we could update a few more chapters and it'd be fine. But the annual meeting is coming up soon, we still need to burst out updates, the pressure is really huge, so please, all you elders, be more understanding.

Still That Saying, during the double monthly ticket period I'll burst out updates nonstop; if it's interrupted, I'll go back and fill in.

Thanks for everyone's ongoing support and encouragement; you are my heroes, superheroes.
