Episode 29 recap: Ma Jia worries about their marital relationship.
Liang Sen Lin spoke about the story of Teacher Du. Back then, Teacher Du gave up returning to his roots and wholeheartedly devoted himself to the medical career in San Na. He stayed in San Na to treat patients and, after his death, the African people planted the first Phoenix tree in commemoration of him. Since then, Chinese medical teams have continuously come to Africa to provide assistance, and Phoenix trees have been planted one after another, eventually forming this Phoenix tree forest. If Teacher Du could see it from the afterlife, he would surely be delighted.
The old village chief is advanced in age and suffers from severe cataracts, to the point where he can hardly see anything. Liang Sen Lin still remembers when he left twenty-three years ago, Suleiman was only one year old. The old village chief carried Suleiman and rushed to the village entrance to see him off. Now, after all this time has passed, Liang Sen Lin and the old village chief have met again, and he feels deeply moved. Their friendship represents the friendship between China and Africa, and this friendship will endure.
Qin Tong is an ophthalmologist, and he promised to give the old village chief proper eye treatment to put everyone's mind at ease. This greatly touched Suleiman. Zhao Yi Cong came to San Na and saw how Shi Zhu Zi lived freely and wanted to have a similar life. He investigated the African market and planned to establish a company specializing in computers and mobile phones. He believed that with San Na's population, there would surely be a market.
Shi Zhu Zi reminded Zhao Yi Cong that doing business in San Na is not an easy task. However, seeing that Zhao Yi Cong had already made up his mind, Shi Zhu Zi decided to support him. Tonight, the old village chief specially prepared a bonfire party. The Chinese medical team and the local villagers celebrated together. The village had prepared African dances to welcome the medical team. There was a passionate girl who kept spinning around Ma Jia, inviting Ma Jia to dance together. However, Ma Jia felt too embarrassed to join, so the girl turned to Liu Xiao Xian and invited her instead. The team members of the medical team were infected by the atmosphere and joined the dancing group one after another. Suleiman also wanted to pull Ma Jia to join, but Ma Jia seemed to be in a bad mood, and Suleiman immediately suspected that Ma Jia and Liu Xiao Xian had a conflict.
At night, when the crowd dispersed, Ma Jia and Liu Xiao Xian sat together looking at the stars. Liu Xiao Xian remembered that the last time they watched the stars together was already years ago, which made Ma Jia feel guilty. Ma Jia still remembered that when they got married, he made a promise to take Liu Xiao Xian to see the sea and even drew a picture of a journey to the sea on the bedside. However, so many years have passed, and Ma Jia has not fulfilled his promise.
Liu Xiao Xian did have some grievances towards Ma Jia before, but these past few days, she has come to understand that she also bears responsibility for why they have become the way they are now. Ultimately, they no longer go stargazing and travel together because they have both found things that are more important than each other. Ma Jia doesn't know if other couples are like them, but right now, he only feels sad. Liu Xiao Xian doesn't want to dwell on the past and encourages Ma Jia to look forward.
While Liu Xiao Xian was asleep, Ma Jia gently stroked her cheek. He didn't know where he and Liu Xiao Xian were headed. Feeling frustrated, he decided to take a walk alone and coincidentally ran into Liang Sen Lin, who couldn't bear to sleep and wanted to gaze at the starry sky a bit longer.
Liang Sen Lin noticed that Ma Jia and Liu Xiao Xian had a disagreement and talked about how precious Liu Xiao Xian was. He hoped that Ma Jia would not only be a good doctor but also a good husband and not let Liu Xiao Xian slip away, as it would be difficult to reconcile once they separated.
Liu Xiao Xian wasn't actually asleep and overheard the conversation between Liang Sen Lin and Ma Jia, which touched her. Zhao Yi Cong and Sun Shuang sat together on a large tree and discussed their plans to stay in San Na and make something of themselves. Sun Shuang was happy to see Zhao Yi Cong grow and accepted his confession.
Jiang Yao knew that Shi Zhu Zi had written on the sky lantern, expressing her wish for Jiang Da Qiao to never leave her. In a fit of anger, she deliberately set the lantern on fire. This upset Jiang Da Qiao, who asked Jiang Yao to apologize to Shi Zhu Zi.
Jiang Yao felt wronged and tearfully expressed that for many years, she had been wishing for Jiang Da Qiao and Xu Hui to reconcile so that she could have a happy family. But that wish had never come true. Xu Hui had Luo Jin Sheng now, and Jiang Da Qiao was going to be with Shi Zhu Zi. She felt like she was the only one left out.
Jiang Da Qiao watched as Jiang Yao ran away crying, feeling a mix of emotions. That night, he was concerned about Jiang Yao catching a cold from the strong wind, so he specifically sent a blanket and asked Aixi to bring it into the tent. Jiang Yao knew deep down that Jiang Da Qiao cared about her, but she pretended to be asleep, feeling conflicted.
The next day, when Aixi woke up, she realized Jiang Yao was missing and hurriedly went to find Shi Zhu Zi. Without hesitation, Shi Zhu Zi went out to search for them. As soon as everyone found out, they split up and searched for Jiang Yao and Shi Zhu Zi. They found Jiang Yao looking at giraffes but couldn't find Shi Zhu Zi.
