Chapter 1 Lin Sanqi's Hell Begins
June 20, 2013
Location: Shilou Village, Huadu City, Dongguang Province.
At first glance at the name, Shilou Village seems to be a remote and poor village, and the places in the city are called street communities.
But for the 9 million migrant workers in Huadu City, Shilou Village is like a holy place.
Because Shilou Village is composed of self-built houses in the countryside and the rent is cheap, it provides a temporary place for those strangers from other places to settle down in Huadu.
Dongguan Province is the most economically developed province in the country, and Huadu City is a first-tier city in the country with a total population of nearly 20 million.
Among them, there are 150,000 migrant workers and 3,000 local villagers living in Shilou Village, which covers an area of less than 1 square kilometer.
The key is that Shilou Village has a very good geographical location. It is located next to the CBD in the center of Huadu City. It is surrounded by high-rise buildings and has a very international style.
In sharp contrast, Shilou Village is like the former Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, with haphazardly built houses and the sky is full of densely packed privately laid electric wires.
Even the roads in the village are not straight. They are all winding, and with many shops on the roadside, it is difficult for cars to drive through.
It is extremely crowded, but in fact it is also extremely prosperous. The concentrated and large population makes Shilou Village very prosperous, with people coming and going and it is very lively.
Shilou Village and the neighboring Pingle Village have become the largest urban villages in Huadu City, and have also created countless wealthy landlords.
The government tried to mobilize demolition several times, but the local clan power was too strong, and the villagers strongly opposed it, so several demolition mobilizations were shelved.
At noon that day, under the scorching sun, a young man wearing a straw hat and riding an electric cargo tricycle passed under the huge stone archway at the entrance of Shilou Village.
The young man is named Lin Sanqi, a native of Shilou Village. He is 23 years old and 180cm tall, which is considered tall in the south.
He is a handsome boy with a hairstyle similar to Aaron Kwok's. He is gentle and looks like a student.
But today, Lin Sanqi's face was unusually pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were red.
Lin Sanqi's life became very unlucky when he was 23 years old.
Thousands of people are trying to cross a single-plank bridge. After studying medicine for five years, I was about to graduate from medical university, but something went wrong during my internship.
He was interning in surgery at the time and it was his turn to perform an appendectomy operation.
It was originally a minor operation, and the instructor wanted Lin Sanqi to practice more, so he let him perform the surgery.
As luck would have it, the patient's appendicitis suffered appendectomy perforation just before the operation. Unfortunately, he developed abdominal abscess and septic shock, and had to stay in the ICU for half a month to save his life.
Originally, this was a medical mishap, not even an accident. After all, it was an emergency, and there was nothing wrong with the doctor's handling of it.
But the family members couldn't understand why a minor appendicitis nearly cost him his life? How could they let it go?
So he complained everywhere, went to the media to seek justice, demanded compensation from the hospital and held the doctor accountable.
In the hospital, whenever something happens, no matter whether it is justified or not, there needs to be someone to take the blame.
According to regulations, Lin Sanqi, as an intern, does not need to bear much responsibility. Even if there is any responsibility, it should be the responsibility of the supervising doctor. After all, he signed the name of the doctor who performed the operation.
However, the supervising doctor was about to be promoted and did not want to let his years of hard work go to waste because of a medical dispute, so he persuaded Lin Sanqi to take the responsibility alone.
Lin Sanqi was also young and full of vigor and loyalty. He assured the hospital investigation team that it was his surgical error that caused the appendix complications.
When the results came out, Lin Sanqi was dumbfounded.
Although the hospital did not ask him to pay monetary compensation, it still stopped his internship and sent him back to school.
A serious medical accident occurred at the internship unit, which brought great shame to the school. The school leaders were furious and prepared to impose severe punishment.
Fortunately, Lin Sanqi's counselor pleaded with many people and finally the expulsion was revoked.
But although the death penalty was avoided, the living punishment could not be escaped. The school's final decision was to only issue a "certificate of incomplete study" and not a "graduation certificate" or "degree certificate".
This disrupted Lin Sanqi's life plan.
Originally, he and his girlfriend, who was studying the same major, had agreed that after graduating from college, they would take the postgraduate entrance examination together, work together in a hospital in Huadu in the future, and finally get married and start a family together.
Without his diploma, Lin Sanqi lost his medical qualifications and could not even enter a community health center, let alone take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Seeing no hope and being from another province, my girlfriend had no choice but to break up.
So this morning, Lin Sanqi went to the train station in person to see his girlfriend off.
Just like the scene in the movie "Passing by Your World", before getting on the train, Lin Sanqi smiled and said to his girlfriend:
"Will we meet again? Swallow, you have to be happy when we meet again, okay? Swallow, you have to be happy, you have to be happy, okay, happy, happy. I am no longer in your world, it doesn't matter, you have to be happy on your own."
But the moment the train started, Lin Sanqi collapsed and ran after the train, crying:
"Swallow, Swallow, how can I live without you~~~"
After all, he is only 23 years old. As soon as he stepped into the society, he faced the double blow of career and love. No one can bear it.
Lin Sanqi did not run to the tallest building in Huadu, the "Chow Tai Fook Finance Center", to perform a jump, which shows that he has strong psychological qualities.
This is a terrible start.
Of course, according to the routine of fairy-tale novels, encountering a broken engagement, having one's cultivation abolished, and becoming a loser at the beginning is often the beginning of the protagonist's changing his fate and becoming a child of destiny.
Too bad this is an urban novel...
Lin Sanqi came back from the train station, wiped his tears, rode his tricycle at the village entrance and rushed home, obediently accepting the beatings of society.
On the road to Shilou Village, pedestrians, electric bikes, and cars were huddled together, filled with the honking of horns and the sounds of roadside shop advertisements:
“Beep beep beep~~~”
"Ba ba ba~~~"
"Good news, good news! We're having a clearance sale! Everything's 2 yuan, everything's 2 yuan..."
There is a 4-story self-built building next to the village road. There are two shops downstairs. One is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic with the words "Lingnan Hall" written on it.
There was no patient in the Chinese medicine clinic at that time. The only doctor in the clinic, Lin Musen, was wearing a short-sleeved white coat and dozing off at the examination table.
There was a tape recorder on the table, playing Cantonese opera:
"Fallen flowers cover the sky and obscure the moonlight. I offer a cup of wine to the Phoenix Terrace. The princess offers incense with tears in her eyes. She is willing to sacrifice her life to thank her parents~~~"
Inside the clinic, no one dared to turn on the air conditioner; only a ceiling fan was fanning weakly.
There is a rice shop next to the Chinese medicine clinic. The owner of the rice shop, Wang Wenjuan, is standing at the door, looking anxiously at the street and glancing at the wall clock from time to time.
"Oh my, it's already 3 o'clock, why hasn't Qizi come back yet? I hope nothing happened... Hey, he's back, husband, hurry up, our son is back..."
