“Driver, please let me explain. We are short on time. It’s really, very important and concerns a human life.” Holding the car door with both hands, Xie Wanying used all her persuasiveness to convince the driver, “We need to transport a critical organ to another city for a rescue.”

“What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” The driver, speaking with a local accent, seemed not to understand her standard Mandarin.

“Critical–” Realizing the driver might not understand medical jargon like “organ,” Xie Wanying changed tack, “something from the hospital.”

“Is it life-saving medicine?” the driver, a layperson when it came to medical knowledge, could only understand it in such terms, and he asked her.

“Yes.” As long as he understood, that was enough for Xie Wanying, who nodded.

“How long do I have to wait?” the driver asked about the waiting time.

“It’ll be quick,” Xie Wanying assured.

Quick, but for some reason, her senior had not come out of the operating room yet. She and the driver ended up waiting a full twenty minutes with no one in sight.

“It’s been almost half an hour, I could’ve had a round trip fare by now.” The driver, infuriated, banged the steering wheel and vented his frustration at her, “Didn’t you say it was urgent? Why hasn’t anyone come yet?”

Xie Wanying took out her cell phone, ready to call her senior. If they had to continue waiting much longer, she would have to let this taxi go. She couldn’t further delay the driver’s business.

“Where is the person?” Qiu Ruiyun, who was transporting the organ transplant box, emerged from the hospital’s outpatient entrance, looking around for her.

“Over here, Dr. Qiu!” Xie Wanying called out, waving her arms high.

Qiu Ruiyun, hearing the call and seeing her, hurried over.

Turning happily to the driver, Xie Wanying said, “Here they come–”

Inside the car window, the driver, with a scowl, suddenly jerked the gear stick, stepped on the gas, and whoosh, drove the car away right in front of her face.

It was clear to Xie Wanying that the driver thought she was fooling him and left out of anger, aggravated by the prolonged wait that had cost him a good chunk of business.

In those days, the importance of organ transplants had not been widely and positively publicized to society. Most people didn’t understand it, and most were not considerate of the medical staff escorting organs. Traffic police wouldn’t help clear the road for them, and everything was up to the doctors themselves. In that moment, Xie Wanying felt somewhat shattered, overwhelmed with distress. She wished the other person could have been more understanding, even if they didn’t get it, because it concerned a person’s life. To be more precise, it was about the continuation of life of a kind-hearted donor in another body, essentially two lives at stake.

Being emotional wouldn’t solve the problem, so after her mind went blank for a moment, she pulled herself together and stood by the roadside, continuing to vigorously wave her hands, hoping for a kind-hearted driver to stop and come to the rescue.

Qiu Ruiyun, catching up to her and realizing there was no car, questioned, “You haven’t hailed a single car this whole time?”

“There was one, but it just drove away,” Xie Wanying explained.

“Why? Why didn’t you stop it!”

Her senior was in a rush and spoke with a coarse breath, clearly angry and echoing her earlier sentiments. Xie Wanying knew better than to argue, and, straining her eyes at the traffic, held her hands up high, waving desperately: hoping for a sympathetic driver to stop and help.

Qiu Ruiyun looked at his watch, his urgency palpable.

He hadn’t anticipated that in the operating room, their liver extraction had taken too long, costing them a whole half hour, making their rush to the airport both urgent and chaotic.
