    • The current situation in China means that every new life that comes into this world is filled with a sense of ritual, worry and drama. Moreover, maternity wards in hospitals are bustling places full of melodrama. The contrast between the rich and the poor, the struggle between life and death. All these factors come colliding together.

      As a husband with 5,000 RMB in hands, he needs 50,000 RMB to save his wife and twin baby girls to be born, while there is no available way (loan, mortgage) for fundraising. What should he do next? Li Shuang Shuang, whose baby has pre-diagnosed as in the condition of not well to be born, Doctor Li decides to do Cesarean section to save this baby. To save, this family may expend a big fortune for a possible dead baby. If they decide not to save, they may suffer from themselves for the rest of their lives.
