And what I found truly beautiful is that, in the end, we all return to our roots—much like a leaf. So, let’s enjoy life as much as we can; let’s go out and explore, for ultimately, we all return to where we began. That is why I want to pursue my dreams and aspirations. If it works out, great! If not? Well, I’ll simply return home—back to my roots.

When I watched the final episode, I had so many complaints—it felt like it was missing an episode, like it needed one more. The ending felt a bit abrupt. But upon reflection, I realized that every single piece of this series had been carefully planned. It’s hard to put into words, but it felt as though the show was teaching the very meaning of life—from the death of Yi Yi to the departure of the staff from Xiao Xi’s hospital. I was genuinely bothered by the fact that some characters went to Beijing to pursue success, while Huang and Liu were left behind at the hospital. Yet, in the end, they all return to their hometowns and reunite. Even the final scene—being trapped under the rubble while snow falls—felt like a beacon of light, a glimmer of hope. It meant that snow would no longer be just a memory of the past, but a symbol of hope and salvation. It was so incredibly beautiful; I truly don’t know how to describe it to you—words just aren't enough.

I could honestly talk about this series for hours. I finished it last night, and now I’m suffering from a serious case of "post-series depression." I went on Pinterest to find a bunch of backgrounds and images—I’m planning to turn them into posters and put them up on my bedroom wall. I also looked for edits to share on my stories and tracked down the soundtrack so I can keep the songs in my playlist forever. This series was truly beautiful; it’s carved out a little home for itself right in my heart. I’ll definitely rewatch it on a snowy winter day, and I plan to keep doing that every single year.

"Let’s not say 'goodbye.' Let’s say 'see you later' or 'for now' instead."
They’re right—I don’t want to say 'goodbye' anymore. From now on, I’ll say 'see you later' or 'for now.'

I used to think the same way as you—that a sudden, quiet death would be preferable. But then, a question crossed my mind: what if I don’t get the chance to say goodbye? And what if I haven’t truly enjoyed my life?

Thank you🤍

I hope that wherever you are in the world, you are safe and well. Thank you for your response.

"Wherever we may be, I will be buried right here. A leaf always returns to its roots. Our entire family is here; this is where our roots lie. As long as our roots are here, it doesn't matter what you choose to do along your journey—you are free to wander and explore as much as your heart desires."

(He explained the concepts of 'home,' 'hometown,' and 'deep-seated attachment' so beautifully that I was completely won over. Dr. Zheng Liang is right: in the end, we all return to our roots—just like a leaf. So, go ahead and wander as much as you like! My own life’s path became clearer with every line of dialogue in this series. I am truly grateful to the director, the writers, the entire production crew of *North China Hospital* (Xiao Xi Men), and—most importantly—the cast, who didn't just 'act' out their roles, but truly lived them. This series has left an indelible mark on my heart.)

A question that stays with me right until the very end is this:
Is it better to die suddenly—peacefully and without warning—
or to know beforehand and have time to prepare for it?
Which one is truly better?

I hope you, too, can move past the difficult moments of the past, find your missing half, and experience the best things together.

This series has come to an end. I’m so glad I watched it while it was airing; I was able to enjoy the whole journey and every single moment of it. Even though I acted like a stubborn child, pestering for the new episodes, I had a great time. What I enjoyed most was leaving comments and chatting with others who were watching the series.
Thank you for being by my side throughout this journey. I won’t forget you, nor will I forget the series—I’ll definitely rewatch it at least once a year. If I do rewatch it, I think I’ll choose a snowy winter day to do so.

So much bad luck in just one episode.😂😂(ep14)
