Leung Kee Bakery. Today is Liang Shu’s eighteenth birthday, and the family, Zheng Daguan and Yaqi come together to celebrate her birthday. During the meal, Liang Shu’s brother-in-law, Guo Fucheng, thought she was talented and intelligent and suggested that she apply for the University of Macau. However, Liang Shu felt that his father Liang Dingwen was now lonely and he should be by his side, so he only planned to apply for a tourist school closer to home. Liang Dingwen personally carved a wood carving of the Chinese zodiac for her, and apologized for the grievance she suffered over the years.
At the same time, Song Manqin took another birthday present that was rejected by Liang Shu, with a sad look on his face. When Su Lin saw this, she could only comfort her that one day she could get her daughter’s understanding. Song Manqin told her husband that she was worried that one day when Liang Shu didn’t even hate herself, it would really be a stranger.
When Liang Dingwen’s family celebrated Liang Shu’s birthday happily, Liang Xiao suddenly rushed home and asked if any family members had fever. It turned out that the SARS epidemic occurred in Hong Kong, and it has even caused deaths. Liang Xiao worried that Macau, which is so close to Hong Kong, might also have an epidemic, reminding her family members to pay attention to measures to prevent SARS.
In May 2003, SARS cases appeared in Macau. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, on behalf of the central government, donated 3,382 boxes of medical supplies for the treatment of SARS to Macao free of charge. In order to eliminate the source of the SARS virus, the Macau government not only advocated that every household pay attention to ventilation, disinfection and wear masks, but also ordered schools and other units to suspend work and attend classes. But even in this case, Liang Shu still showed symptoms of cough and fever. Liang Dingwen felt that Yaqi and the others were making a fuss, and that his daughter was just a common cold.
In order to relieve the pressure on his eldest brother, Liang Dingwu planned to pick up his own almond cookies and sell them on the street. But when he overheard that someone had bought all the masks in the store because of the SARS epidemic, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. Liang Dingwu found Song Manqin and asked her to take advantage of the Daao Group’s way to help herself obtain a batch of masks and disinfectant, and then plan to sell it to neighbors in the neighborhood at a high price.
Liang Dingwen was just a little relieved because of his brother’s steadfastness, and saw that he used this method of taking advantage of the fire to make a fortune, and suddenly fell into anger. Liang Dingwen kicked his younger brother to the ground, not to mention, and gave the masks and other items he bought to Yaqi so that he could distribute them to neighbors in the neighborhood for free.
After returning, Liang Dingwen pulled Liang Dingwu up to his father’s portrait and asked him to kneel on the ground to reflect. Hearing that the younger brother’s supplies were obtained from his ex-wife Song Manqin, Liang Dingwen was even more angry and couldn’t help but beat him several times with his family law.
Even more unfortunately, Liang Shu’s illness got worse. After the hospital found out, she was forced to take her away for isolation. Liang Dingwen felt extremely distressed when she saw her daughter being carried away on a stretcher, and even had to accompany her to undergo isolation together. Looking at Liang Dingwen’s anxious look, Yaqi could only try to comfort him.
With the care and help of the central government for the Macao compatriots, the Macao Special Administrative Region Government and people from all walks of life in Macao united closely and finally achieved a comprehensive victory in the fight against SARS.
