Chapter 21 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself

Red like blood. Red like fire. Red like our still burning hearts. Reborn once. We learned to appreciate. Reborn once. We learned how to take revenge. Reborn once. We learn how to love. These days later. We will use all of them. To help more people. To make this world... A little better. Just a little. That's enough. We died once. Should be better than anyone. Everyone understands the meaning of being alive. It's... Makes this world. Become better. Just a little bit. I turned around. Step down to the terrace. Step into the sunlight. Step into the future. Step into a future... No more hatred. Only love remains. That road. It's also very difficult to go. I'm not afraid. I am no longer alone. Next to me. There is Lam Hieu. There is Han Vien Son. There are all those who know the truth clearly. We will move forward together. Let's fight together. Let's change the world together. And all... Starting today. Starting from this moment. Starting from my first step. I raised my head. Look up at the sky. The sky is deep blue. Clouds are white like cotton. Like hope. Like a dream. Our newly reborn future breed. I smiled. Then run forward. Run towards the sunlight. Run towards hope. Run towards a better tomorrow. Don't stop running. Never stop. Day twenty-one. The hospital held a commendation ceremony. And Han Vien Son. All were awarded the following titles:

"Outstanding individual in medical rescue work."

The director personally presented the award.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

He held my hand tightly.

"You brought honor to the hospital."

"Thank you, Headmaster."

I replied softly.

"Hopefully later..."

"I'll keep trying."

"Contribute more to the medical profession."

"I definitely will."

I walked down the stage. Lam Hieu and Han Vien Son were waiting.

"Congratulations."

Han Vien Son laughed.

"Congratulations too."

The three of us looked at each other. Then we laughed together. In the corner of everyone's eyes. They all reflect a thin layer of water. Only we understand. Behind that certificate of merit. So many hardships. So many sacrifices. So many tears. No one regrets. We won. Survived. The enemy has been reported. Day twenty-two. I received a phone call. It's a call from the Provincial Department of Health.

"Hello, Doctor Tham."

The other end of the line said.

"The provincial leaders highly appreciate her abilities."

"We want to invite you..."

"About working at the Provincial Department of Health."

I stopped.

"Why..."

"Me again?"

"Because..."

"You are a reincarnated person."

The other end of the line burst into laughter.

"We know all about you."

"Provincial Department of Health..."

"Need someone like you."

I was speechless. The provincial leaders also knew about my rebirth. They also knew everything Zhou Kienguo had done. Invite me over... Do you want to take advantage of me? Or do you really want to use me?

"I need time to think."

I calmly replied.

"We wait for your answer."

The call ended. I sat quietly in the office for a long time. To the Provincial Department of Health... Means greater power. Greater responsibility. The danger is also greater. But... I'm not afraid. I've already died once. I want to do what I really want to do. Want to make this world... Better. I hold the phone. Proactively call again.

"I agree."

The other end of the line smiled.

"Welcome to join."

I hung up. Lean against the back of the chair. Look at the sunlight outside the window. A new journey... Has officially begun. Ready. Day twenty-three. I was officially transferred to the Provincial Department of Health. Day of leaving the hospital. Many people came to see him off. There is Lam Hieu. There is Han Vien Son. There is a director. There is a head nurse. And many colleagues.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

The director held my hand tightly.

"In the future, remember to come visit often."

"Sure."

I smiled.

"To the Department of Health."

"Try your best."

Han Vien Son said.

"It will really do well."

Lam Hieu hugged me. Choked voice.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"We will be friends..."

I nodded slightly. I turned around. The car slowly left the hospital. Through the rearview mirror. I saw people's silhouettes getting farther and farther away. My heart suddenly felt strangely warm. My past. My future. Day twenty-four. I went to the Provincial Department of Health to get a job. Assigned to the Main Medical Management Department. In charge of health reform work. Leaders value me very much. Give me many resources. Also give me the greatest support. I started reforming. From the smallest things. From the base line. Little by little. One step at a time. That road is very difficult. Meaningful. Because I know. I'm doing the right thing. Helping more people. Little by little we are changing a world full of injustice. Even if it's just a very small change. It's valuable enough. Contribute wind to storm. Accumulate sand into a mountain. There will be a day. This world. Really getting better. Day twenty-fifth. I received a letter. It's a letter from Lam Hieu. There is only one sentence inside.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"I'm pregnant."

I was stunned. Then burst out laughing. A new life... About to be born. I immediately wrote back.

"Congratulations."

"Lin Hieu."

"Wishing you eternal happiness."

I leaned back in the chair. Look at the sunlight outside the door. The sunlight today is so beautiful. Strangely warm. Reborn once. We learn how to love. Learn to appreciate. Also learn how to forgive. These days later. We will use all of them. To love more people. To appreciate more people. To learn to forgive more. We died once. Should understand better than anyone. The true meaning of being alive. It's... Knowing how to appreciate. Know how to be tolerant. Know how to make this world. Filled with love. I stood up. Step out of the office. Step into the sunlight. Step into the future. Step into a future... Full of love. That road is very long. It's also very difficult. I'm not afraid. I am no longer alone. Next to me. There is Lam Hieu. There is Han Vien Son. There are all the people who love me. We will move forward together. Let's love together. Let's change the world together. And it all... Starts today. From this moment. From my first step. I raised my head. Look up at the sky. The sky is clear blue. Pure white clouds. Like hope. Like a dream. Like our future filled with love. I smiled. Then start running. Run towards the sunlight. Run towards hope. Running towards a tomorrow... Full of love. Just keep running. Non-stop. Never stop. Reborn once. We learned how Love. And that love... Will make this world. Become better. I will continue to love. Keep moving forward. Until forever after.
