Selling Indian Medicine, Easing the World's Sickness and Sorrow
Li Yong runs a health products store selling Indian herbal remedies, living an ordinary life until a group of cancer patients turn to him for help and change his destiny. Zhang Qngqing leads dozens of lung cancer patients to kneel before his shop, begging him to use his purchasing channels in India to acquire generic drugs. The brand-name medicine costs 30,000 yuan per bottle, draining all their savings, while affordable generics are their only hope of survival. Fully aware that smuggling drugs is illegal, Li Yong cannot bear to look at their desperate faces and finally agrees, embarking on this risky journey. To source the generics, Li Yong travels to India and accidentally saves Alam Khan, a local gang leader. In return, he secures the exclusive distribution rights for the drugs. He sells each bottle to patients for 4,000 yuan. Though there is a profit margin of 1,000 yuan, most of it covers shipping fees and necessary liaison expenses, leaving him with barely any profit. Later, Zhang Qingqing learns the actual purchase price and grows resentful. She incites the patients to cause trouble, attempting to seize the supply channel for herself. But Alam Khan only recognizes Li Yong as his partner, and her scheme backfires. Cut off from medication, the patients fall into a crisis. They finally see the truth and apologize to Li Yong. Putting the past behind him, Li Yong continues to help the patients. Meanwhile, Liu Dewang, owner of Dewang Pharmaceutical, offers him a huge sum of money to monopolize the supply and jack up the price to 20,000 yuan per bottle. Li Yong turns him down outright. Bearing a grudge, Liu Dewang conspires with lawyer Zhang Zheng and pharmaceutical executive Pete to fabricate evidence, framing Li Yong for selling counterfeit drugs that had caused patient deaths and bringing him to court. At the critical moment, a remorseful Zhang Qingqing risks her life to submit recorded audio as evidence, exposing the frame-up. Li Yong is eventually acquitted. After the turmoil, Li Yong meets Lin Xiaobao, a young boy suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The brand-name special medicine costs 700,000 yuan per injection, far beyond the means of an average family. Regardless of Alam Khan’s warnings, Li Yong reaches out to his Indian contacts to import generic SMA drugs. This draws fierce suppression from Wang Kun, the domestic general agent of the original drug, and Elizabeth, the pharmaceutical company president. They hire people to smear Li Yong, seize his shipments, bribe customs officers, and even offer 100 million yuan to make him stop — all of which Li Yong firmly rejects. Li Yong sells his health products store and pays 700,000 yuan out of his own pocket to buy the brand-name drug for Xiaobao.
