[English subtitles are available] Coming. Hello. Is this Yu Qilei's house? Honey. Who's it? Lei. Luxiao. It's hard to find this place, isn't it? -Yeah.
-You guys talk. I'm going to the gym. Why did you come to me all of a sudden? I'm here for training sessions. You did me a favor a while ago. So I came to thank you. Don't mention it. I think it's meaningful that I could help you. Lei. I'll be frank with you. I came to pay you a visit and also to ask you if you want to join us as a firefighter. What made you think I could be a firefighter? After the earthquake happened, you were the first one to come out to save others. So I'm sure that you're the kind of person who will step up in danger. Am I right? You love this feeling. You can't deny it. Your expertise can be made the best use of in firefighting. I hope you can fight alongside me. Think about it. ♫Yesterday in circles♫ ♫Wind and frost carve out my side face♫ ♫Advance against the looming light♫ ♫Reminding me that tomorrow's a brand new day♫ ♫Let the vow echo in my ears♫ ♫I'm determined to go further♫ ♫Move forward bravely against the light♫ ♫Smoke and fog blot out the sky♫ ♫Fly higher against the wind♫ ♫Beyond the skyline♫ ♫After dusk and before dawn♫ ♫Go through countless trials♫ ♫Break through that wall to touch♫ ♫The boundary between the rising sun and the sea♫ [Bright eyes in the Dark] [Episode 2]
[People come and go] [Fire and Rescue Brigade of Binxi District, Beixun City]
[Heping Road Special Division Station] Lin Luxiao. You're a mature man. Why can't you stay out of trouble? I don't even know what to say. The higher-ups keep emphasizing the importance of building a good image. We need to appear reliable in public. Our every behavior represents all firefighters. But what did you do? You don't give a fig about anything! Couldn't you just save the people and come back? Just do your job and become an Honor Director. Wouldn't that be great? He doesn't get to decide my honor. Lin Luxiao! How could you say something like that? Do you think you can smooth this over? Personal honor is collective honor. Right? Don't you feel guilty about the station and every fireman here? You're not worried, but we are. Understand? Report! Dagang, talk some sense into him. Yes. We should build a good image with the best service. Director Lin. I think it's for honor. Right? Maybe there will be bonuses and subsidies. Who told you that? I mean maybe. We can't miss out on that chance. Maybe? Liu, will we get a bonus? This is not about bonuses. Instructor, let me tell you. This is not Director Lin's fault. Lou Mingye meant to throw his weight around in front of us. You didn't see his face. When I think of it now, I'm like… He's such an annoyance. I'll go do the cleaning. Look at them. They all understand the importance of this, don't they? And you knew that Lou Mingye would come today. Couldn't you just suck it up? He's famous for being difficult. Everyone in the station knows that. Did you have to pit yourself against him? A loner can't get far. Do you know what I mean? To be honest, you're indeed at fault today. You know what? It's fine to make a mistake. As long as you correct it, you're still a good firefighter. To be honest… To be honest, you should go back. Where do you want me to go? Stop right there! To be honest, you should look at this. Watch this video yourself. [I ran into firefighters eating takeout outside a small restaurant downstairs.]
[I had dinner with them.] The other day, after you finished the mission, you ate takeout on the street. Someone filmed it and posted it online. Everyone is talking about it now. Captain Meng talked with me, saying that we have an attitude problem and asking me to write a report to him. Tell me what I should write. We worked all day and were hungry after coming back so we ordered takeout. What the hell… To be honest, Instructor, you found serious negligence and misconduct in our work. It must be seriously addressed. Tell everyone not on duty to come for a meeting in the activity room three minutes later. Meeting? Lately, a video about us has been widely spread online and caused a lot of controversy. We've left the public with a bad impression. I hope every one of us can spend some time reflecting on it. It can't happen again. So, I suggest building a supply depot in our station. When we come back from a mission and feel hungry, we can go there to eat. There are no limits on the food types. You can have bread and cookies, chips and sausages, or instant noodles. If you want, you can also roast chicken and cook steaks. I'll prepare a fridge for you. Of course, the instructor agrees with it. He's very concerned about our health. Let's give him a big hand. Great! Thank you, Instructor Yang. Now speak your mind. Any comment? Liu Ruyi. Yes. Tell us what you think. Yes. Director Lin hit the nail on the head. Instructor Yang saw the core of the problem. Thank you, Director Lin! Thank you, Instructor Yang! Thank you for caring so much for us. Clap! Great! Director Lin is right! Instructor Yang is so considerate! [Qi Huo, Heping Road Special Division Station] Let's thank our instructor again. Thank you! Hold on. Hold on. The three of you are big foodies. Only the three of you applaud this idea, right? How could you say that? Anyone with objections stands up. Look. Everyone likes this idea. Right? Look, Instructor. This is what we all want. Every time we come back from a mission, there's no food left for us. We need to eat to stay strong. My grandma told me that skipping meals is a bad habit. You said yourself that to save others, we need to take good care of ourselves first. So I think eating well is taking good care of ourselves so that we can better protect the people and their property, right? Yes. I-I… Bro. You have objections? I have to say it's a good idea. That's right. Well… Instructor Yang, Director Lin. I have a question. It's also the other guys' question. Will we have to pay for this supply depot ourselves? Shut up. Seriously? You never miss the point. Well, let me make it clear. You don't have to pay for this supply depot. Neither will the station pay for it. We'll buy the food ourselves. Buy what you eat and restock what you take. Don't let me catch any freeloaders. You'll be banned forever. Then I agree too. Can we have a hot pot? How about snail rice noodles? See? They're so happy. Classic you. You love stirring the pot. Enough. Be quiet. I got it. Since you all agree, I agree too. I won't kill the buzz. But I have to make one thing clear. Since you want to eat, you should eat well. If necessary, you can cook here. Understand? Don't do anything stupid again. Especially some of you. You know who I mean, don't you? Don't eat too many snacks and desserts. Okay. Right? One more thing. -Save your breath.
-You… All right. It's settled then. Great! Also, we need to write a report to Captain Meng to explain this matter. Liu, you'll write the report. What? Yes, you'll do it. You often go to the deputy director to revise your will. You're good at writing, so you'll do it. -Great.
-Great. Great. -Great.
-Great. That's quite a lot. I bought this. Lei Dagang. What are these? Pickles to go with rice. You're so stingy. Why are they pickles for children? I bought them for my son. My wife said they're too salty for kids, so I brought them here. Pickles for children have fewer preservatives. They're healthy. Just two packets? Of course not. The grocer also gave me a sausage. Nice. You're so stingy. The grocer is as stingy as you. The grocer I met gave me a box of sausages. You can have it. If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have taken mine out. Take a look. How do you like this board? The Supply Depot of Blue Friends. -Great.
-It's great. -It's great.
-It's great? Then let's put it on the wall. Okay. Put it on the wall. -Put it on the wall.
-Put it on the wall. [Supply Depot of Blue Friends] The supply depot is officially established. Great.

Nan Chu. I'm Shen Guangzong. Can you reconsider joining Beiyao? Look. You can be in movies, variety shows, and commercials immediately after you join us. Just tell me what you want. You'll be known as a promising star and a talented dancer… Sorry, Mr. Shen. I'm not interested in the showbiz for now. Please tell Mr. Han about it. Nan Chu, you can't be so sure. I have to rehearse. I'm hanging up. It was fine. What happened to your hand? Just a scratch. Instructor Yang. Instructor Yang. How many times has this happened? Tell me! How many times has this happened? Look at me. Be serious! Do you see yourself as an expert in animal rescue? You're actually so bad at it. You're the Director. You have to be a role model to everyone. You get injured so often. What do you want me to do? Enough. Stop nagging. You're always nagging. What brought you to me? I brought you good news. What's it? We'll soon have new blood in the station. Two new guys. What's so exciting about that? They're not normal recruits. Director Lin, do you remember us? Yijiu, Shiquan, right? [Shao Yijiu, Heping Road Special Division Station]
[Qin Shiquan, Heping Road Special Division Station] Yes, you have a good memory, big hero. Hero? Listen to me. The Special Division Station is not a place for hero worship. No one should be idolized here. Don't think you two are special. Recruits like you two arrive every year. They were all saved by firefighters and then dreamed of becoming superheroes. After they arrived, they realized that things were so different. So I advise you to carefully think about what this job means to you, why you came here, and why you want to become a firefighter. Enough. Why are you so serious? Report. Instructor, I've thought it through. I want to be a great firefighter like Director Lin. We became orphans in that earthquake. We grew up with so many people's help. We're who we are today thanks to the help of everyone in our village. More importantly, firefighters like you saved us in the earthquake. Report! After that earthquake, Shao Yijiu and I decided to become qualified firefighters. Not only that, I want to become a great Director like Director Lin so that I can save more people. Good. You two are so aspiring. But don't be so optimistic, or you'll be very disappointed. Let's see what you got. We finally have two new recruits. Why are you so harsh on them? Since you've chosen this path, you have to do your best. Yes. One more thing. Well… What... What are you waiting for? Firefighters. Let's go! Fire! Fire! No. 117, Huaihai Road. Wenhua Cultural Center. [Learn principles. Pledge loyalty. Stay enthusiastic.] A fire broke out. Dispatch Tender One, Two, and Four. Fire! Fire! No. 117, Huaihai Road. Wenhua Cultural Center. A fire broke out. Dispatch Tender One, Two, and Four. Go! -Director Lin.
-Director Lin. You two follow me. Come. You can only assist us. Do what you're told. -Yes.
-Yes. Are you done resting? Let's do it again. Hurry. Who's in charge? We're firefighters from Heping Road Special Division Station. Who reported a fire? Fire? No one called us? What's going on? Hello, sir. What's wrong? Did you report a fire? No. What's going on, sir? An Weiren, An Weiming. Go check around. Yes. What's going on? Contact the Command Center. Yes. Command Center. What's going on? Why are firefighters here? Ma'am. What did you do? Look what you've done to my house. I passed by and came in to take a look. Look what I ran into. I shouldn't have rented the house to you. There must be some misunderstanding. Everything has been fine here. You sure? Then why are firefighters here? You're already six months late on the rent! You have to move out today! Please, madam. It's been hard to keep the dance club afloat recently. We've rented your house for years. Please give us one more month. Just one month. It's not about the rent. I don't want to rent it to you anymore. It's written in the contract that if any damage is done to the house, the contract will be terminated immediately. We didn't do anything. Stop lying! I don't care. You gotta move! Director Lin. No fire has been found. Just one more month. Director Lin, I've checked upstairs. No fire has been found. Who made the call? Director Lin. They must have Director Lin. set my house on fire. Look at this. Some neighbor saw the smoke and called you. You were waiting for us outside. Sir… Are you sure you didn't make the call? Here. I have enough reason to suspect you of making a false report and wasting public resources. We will get to the bottom of this matter. You made the call to kick us out. I saw smoke outside just now. Listen. It must be a neighbor. Some neighbor was cooking. Enough. Don't explain to us. Whatever the situation was, tell it to the police later. Okay? Call the police. Okay. Is that necessary? I didn't make a false report. I really saw smoke. Get in the car. You can talk about it in the police station. Director Lin, we're leaving. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Although nothing was on fire, I looked around and saw many flammable things at the door. Clean them up. They may cause a fire. We'll come back to check it in a few days. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go in. Hey! What's wrong? Thank you. For what? Thank you for helping us. It's just our job. You're welcome. Director Lin. Are you done there? We just wrapped it up. What's going on? We just received an urgent task. Next to Hengtong Medicine Factory on Xinmin Road, on sub-level one of a building, someone got trapped. We can't reach him on the phone. Copy. We'll be right there. Go to Xinmin Road. Okay. [Cold Medicine] It's been tough for you recently. Take good care of yourself. Thank you. How much do we need? Actually, I can help. I'm out of my depths. What can you do? There's a solution to every problem. We'll figure something out. Forget it. We should part ways. Dismiss the club. Dream Dance has existed for so many years. How can we part ways so easily? Just hold on. I can't. We haven't made any money in the past few years. So many members have left in the past few months. But some stayed. I can't feed on passion, can I? How about this? I'll find a way to get the money. We'll talk about it later. Check your kits. Fix this. How are things with you? Is everything clear? This is plugged in. Yang. What's going on? A junkman called us. He came here to collect building materials and fell down. He called us for help but got disconnected before he finished his words. We called back but he didn't answer. Is he… Come on. Take the rescue equipment. He seems the one who saved us. Let's split up and find him. Lin. Are they new? I picked them up on the way. Don't chat during work. Yes. Check the kits again. -Okay.
-Is anyone there? -Look carefully.
-Is anybody there? -Is anyone there?
-Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Hello? Is anyone there? Help! Help! I heard something. I'm here. Help me. I'm here. Can you hear me? I'm here. Help me He's here. Yang. I heard his voice. He's on sub-level one. Sub-level one. Copy. Where is he? Where is he? There's sound here. Here. He's down there. Lin, how's he? Can you hear me? Help me! Did you hear him? -He's down there.
-Yeah. Get me the rope. Yang. Let me go down first. Can you do it? Yes. Be careful. The rope. He's going down there? How deep is it? He's directly going down. Hold tight. Put the rope down slowly. Slowly. Slow down. Slow down. -Down, down.
-Down. -Don't worry. I got you.
-Don't worry. Be careful. Have you found him? Are you okay? He's slightly injured. I'm untying my safety rope. Don't untie the rope. I'll send you another rope. No need. The water is not deep. I can handle it. Here. Be careful. Okay. Pull. Pull the rope. -Slowly.
-Slowly. Good. Pull slowly. Watch your head. Be careful. Slowly. Pull up. Pull. Pull the rope. Pull the rope. -Pull!
-Pull! Pull! Pull. -Liu!
-Liu! -Don't panic.
-Pull him up first. Make room! I'll go down to get Liu. Liu. Three, two, one. Watch your hands. It's okay. Thank you. It's our job. -Thank you.
-You're welcome. Send him to the hospital. Hurry. Thank you. I'll wrap this up for you. Go to the infirmary later. Don't tell them what happened. It's embarrassing. I told you not to untie the rope. You wouldn't have fallen if you had listened to me. I was just worried about that guy. Besides, who'd have known there's another level? Lin, you're my best friend. I'll change my will after going back. I'll give you all my game accounts. What a generous gift. Wrap it up, boys. Wrap it up. Let's go. Come on. Here. Careful. [Account balance: 9700.24] [Fire and Rescue Brigade of Binxi District, Beixun City]
[Heping Road Special Division Station] Guess how many legs I sawed today? Six. Six legs. I'm exhausted. Stop it, Dagang. You're scaring them. Six kids got stuck in toy cars. We sawed open six toy cars. Yu, toys nowadays are dangerous. My son seems to have a similar toy car. I need to call my wife and tell her to put it away. It's too dangerous. Dear, have you had dinner? Well, does our son have a toy car? Yu, you know what? We almost got into trouble today. What happened? What happened? Ask Liu. Liu. Yu. Give my will back to me. What? You want to revise it again? I almost kicked the bucket today. What happened? I won't tell you. It's embarrassing. I'll go grab a bite in the supply depot. Is the will in your drawer? Yes. I'll get it myself. Shao Yijiu, Qin Shiquan. Yes. Yes. You've grown up. Are you the man who saved us in the earthquake? Yu Qilei. We'll be roommates in the future. Deputy Yu is our best technician. After the earthquake, we went to lots of trouble to make him join us. He can teach you lots of things. Nice to meet you, Deputy Yu. Nice to meet you, Deputy Yu. Nice to meet you too. I'll leave you to your work. It was the first time you were on a mission. How do you feel? It's okay. It's fine that you're not used to it. Get back to work. -Yes.
-Yes. Come on in. This room is your dorm room. Technically speaking, you should live with the combat units. But to let you learn more from the veterans, you'll live with Deputy Yu and Assistant Liu. Assistant Liu is the leader of Combat Unit One. Cherish this opportunity to learn from them. -Yes.
-Yes. I'm leaving. Have a good rest. Good night, Instructor. Good night, Instructor. I'll sleep here. It's so good. What are you thinking? I don't know. My mind is empty. A firefighter almost died on our first day here. It's thrilling. Yes. What a rocky start. It's too much for me. [Dorm Room 2] Yes. Get up! It's too early to be lying on the bed. Don't you know the dorm rules? Assistant Liu. Sorry, Assistant Liu. It's our first day here. My name is Qin Shiquan. His name is Shao Yijiu. [Liu Ruyi's will] I know. You went to Jingde Secondary School. I held you once. Assistant Liu. What are you writing? My will. You two will write it too. Sooner or later. Assistant Liu. It was so dangerous today. Why is no one taking it seriously? It happens a lot. What? Are you scared? No. Assistant Liu, we're ready. Ready for what? Ready to sacrifice our lives at any time. Don't look like two martyrs. You're firefighters, not soldiers at the front line. Don't talk like your days are numbered. If you don't cherish your own lives, how can you save others? You just need to follow the orders given to you. Just fulfilling your duties is hard enough. Don't try to be a hero. Good firefighters don't rush into danger. I have a question. Assistant Liu. What makes a good firefighter? When you completely understand my words, you'll be a good firefighter. Has Miaomiao's fever gone down? Not completely. How come? How long has it lasted? This is bad. In my opinion, she should go to the hospital. Take her to the hospital when you come back. It's not the first time she's got sick. It takes time for her to recover. Don't worry. How is your day? We went out on a mission today. Many kids' legs got stuck in toy cars. It was so dangerous. Miaomiao [Milan, Yu Qilei's wife] needs to be careful when she plays with her toy car. You'd better put it away. I see. Miaomiao said that she wants you to take her to the amusement park. I told her you'll do it when you come back as long as she takes the pills and behaves well. Will you come back this week? I'm afraid I can't come back this month. It's my turn to take a leave but Dagang's mother-in-law is in hospital. He needs to visit her. We're short-handed. So I'll take his place. But don't worry. As long as he comes back, I'll go home and take Miaomiao to the amusement park. Have you thought about what my dad said? Well, we'll talk about it later. What do you mean? Dad has talked with them. They're very satisfied with your resume and want to hire you as a structural engineer. If you agree, you'll be safer and have more time for Miaomiao and a higher salary than working as a firefighter. Say something. What do you think? I know. I'll think about it. Make up your mind as soon as possible. They won't wait for you forever. I hope you can think about it carefully. This morning, when I took Miaomiao to the hospital, she said she wanted you to take her instead of me. She said her teacher asked them to write about the things they did with their father. But she couldn't think of anything she did with you. I know. You love your job. But this is not for me. It's for your daughter, Yu Miaomiao. Tell me when Miaomiao's fever goes down. Sorry for letting you take care of her all alone. Have a good rest. You too. I took today off and got lots of work to do. By the way, don't skip meals when you're busy. I won't. Well, have you received the ointment I sent you? Remember to use it. They all say it works well. I see. Lastly, take a look at your daughter and go to bed. Bye. Yu. You're still up? Yeah. I want to ask you for a favor. It's been weighing on me. What's it? It's my turn to take a leave this week, but I don't know what to do with my time. I want you to have two days off for me. I'll take your leave next time. What do you think? Thank you. Don't thank me. I'm asking you for a favor. -Do you wanna play it?
-Yeah. [China Fire and Rescue] Emergency. Hurry! Get up! What's going on? What's going on? -Let's go.
-There's an emergency? Hurry up! Where is everyone? What's going on? How would I know? Music! Gun salutes! Over. Shao Yijiu. Qin Shiquan. Yes. First of all, congratulations. You proved yourself with excellent performance at the training base and came to Heping Road Special Division Station. I want to tell you you'll have a new beginning here.

Thank you. Thank you. You guys made me and Yijiu feel at home again. Thank you. Why are you crying? Man up. Let me tell you. If anyone messes with you, tell me. I'll fix them for you, okay?

-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Thank you. Thank you. [Tips for Fire Safety] The fire department doesn't charge for responding to emergency calls, but there are penalties for making unnecessary calls and falsely reporting a fire. Hence, I call on everyone not to casually dial the emergency number 119. Falsely reporting a fire will not only waste valuable firefighting resources but is also illegal. In accordance with the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, individuals who disseminate false information, falsely report emergencies, including public health and police matters, or engage in any activity that disrupts public order, may face fines or detention, depending on the severity of the offense. ♫Lament how people come and go♫ ♫Dust drifts before it disperses♫ ♫Have the passion for love♫ ♫While pain can only be buried deep♫ ♫Promise that you can rely on me tomorrow♫ ♫Reversers bear light♫ ♫To light up our lives♫ ♫Life is burning hot♫ ♫Fate was once burnt by ideals♫ ♫Not afraid of hurting♫ ♫Bright eyes in the dark♫ ♫Hold the radiance in the dark♫ ♫Illuminating the insignificant existence♫ ♫Tear the darkness apart and illuminate the sky♫ ♫Get rid of the darkness and run forward♫ ♫Courage condenses into spots in the sky♫ ♫Travel in time♫ ♫In an instant♫ ♫Reflect the dazzling light♫ ♫Reversers bear light♫ ♫To light up our lives♫ ♫Life is burning hot♫ ♫Fate was once burnt by ideals♫ ♫Not afraid of hurting♫ ♫Bright eyes in the dark♫ ♫Hold the radiance in the dark♫ ♫Illuminating the insignificant existence♫ ♫The clouds in the sky♫ ♫Will always disperse♫ ♫For the rising sun♫
