The Story of Minglan

I have to study. It's so late and I am so tired. I must pass these fucking exams and I know nothing. But I must also know. WHAT. HAPPENED. WITH. THE. PIRATES. 😭😭

Just a few minutes. Please.

***

I wanted to yell "PRIORITIES!!" at her when she grasped this doll as she was drowning, but.

I remembered that I too have dolls I would totally jump into the river for. However, mine are too delicate and there would probably be no saving them if they got soaked.

***

GU TINGYE??

LMAO, of course 🤣🤣 He's been saving the Sheng siblings from pirates from the moment they met!

***

Ugh, cutie baby 🤗

***

LMAO, what is up with that beard??

I am not a fan.

***

WAIT, WHY DOESN'T SHE RECOGNIZE HIM?

***

LOL, what is this nonsense?

It's literally been days since they last saw each other, a few weeks at best.

***

What a joke, smh. I hate it when writers pretend we are imbeciles and think that they can get away with nonsensical rubbish like this.

The beard is ugly, BUT COME ON! You saw this man literally days ago, he still looks the same and sounds the same. Why was this necessary? This is honestly insulting.

***

I'm still fascinated that Sheng Hong put an old woman, a fifteen-year-old and a bunch of useless maids on a boat and just let them sail across half of China, bandits be damned!

Why were there no men, no guards?

***

I also want to know.

Other than fanservicy coincidence, of course.

***

Seriously?? 🙄🙄

***

Eh... from everything I've seen so far, I am not convinced that she is not better off being the daughter of a water pirate 🤔

***

MTE.

***

Minglan and Tingye, minding their own business:

IRL footage of me:

***

LMAO, I love Shitou 🤣🤣

MTE, where did this come from?

I mean, an army is a great place to build a career if you have no other choices but you have to survive it first! How will it do your illegitimate daughter any good if you were to die?

***

Aww, happy old people make my heart melt 🤗

***

Yeah, because two dead maids are nothing to think about. It's not like they were actual people or anything 🙄

***

Why do all the girls have the same last syllable? Hualan, Molan, Rulan, Minglan, Shulan, Pinglan, etc. But the boys share the first syllable. At first, I thought it was a gender thing, but the Yu sisters, Yanran and Yanhong, also share the first syllable. Also, I thought it was customary in ancient China to give all kids from the same generation a name that started with the same first syllable?

***

LMAO, are the grannies back to matchmaking?

***

Wait, is this the guy he saved in the forest?

***

Ooooh, imperial relatives, you say??

Imperial relatives that Gu Tingye saved and are now his friends that owe him a debt of gratitude? 🤔🤔

My plot senses are tingling!

***

Oh my god. Bandits? Again?? 😑

***

Are you kidding me?

I am not a fan of this Pinglan. She seems like a reckless idiot, in addition to being a boundary-stomping, attention-seeking know-it-all.

***

OK, I am not keeping up.

I don't know anything about Chinese history. Are these characters based on actual real people?

***

LMAO, the blank expressions on everyone's faces 🤣🤣

Sometimes, parents can be so embarrassing.

[eruisapenguin]

Protagonists!

Ji Beom-geol Hao Bingwen Yamada Taro Wang Qiao/Cao Shulan

And all of them are failures in their own unique way

[renewedmotionforjudgment]

Additional takeaway from my Minglan rewatch

I S2G I was waiting for Madam Wang to say “Guanren have you no compassion for my poor nerves?” She and Mrs. Bennet would have a blast.

Speaking of, I am most amused by how … well adjusted Changbai, Hualan, and to some extension Rulan are. Especially the latter 2.

I’m a little bit annoyed at the subtitles (at least the version that I’m watching) translating Manniang calling GTY “erlang” to “Darling Gu” because of the subsequent implication (thanks random YouTube commenter for raising my hackles) that GTY wanted ML to call him “erlang” is because he wanted her to fawn over him like Manniang.

I love the lighting of the show so much.

I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out why Shulan looks so familiar and then it’s like, yes the FL from Princess of the Lanling King!

I swear, I like Minglan’s bangs less with each rewatch.

Qi Heng, thank goodness you’re pretty. I’ll just say that.

[silentcathedrals]

what are the ages of the characters in the apprentice au?

theres no minors 😨😨‼️‼️‼️

though theres no canon age for mk and mei i just assumed they were adults since you have to be at least 18 to drive in china

in my au, mk and mei are currently 21 with the other apprentices being around the same age. out of this specific group lian-cheng is the oldest

shulan, being a spiritual animal herself and the god monkeys are beyond adulthood (literally thousands of years old) sooo yeah i think thats about it

when younger characters get involved ill definitely specify it

[astoryandasong]

The scene in episode 24 where all the Sheng women are gathered together in Youyang just broke me.

The support and love they have for each other, the limited options they have. Minglan again working within the confines of a woman's life in the courtyards. The scenes taking place in such small spaces, the way the camera shows just a glimpse of them through a window.

They want to save Shulan from a bad marriage even at the expense of themselves. Such a mirror of the Sheng family in Bianjiang. Pingling saying she doesn't care - to save Shulan she'd become a nun, never marry. Can you imagine Molan ever saying the same for her sisters?

First Steps⁠

by Amy Catania⁠

World TB Day — March 24, 2025⁠

⁠Recently we celebrated the release of a new book by John Green, Everything is Tuberculosis. An award winning author and something of a legend with the younger crowd, John Green has come to share our obsession with TB.

Each HSL staff member read the book in one fell swoop. It is a beautiful, heartbreaking, eye-opening book that challenges us to grasp the enormity that is tuberculosis, past and present. Most Americans are unaware that TB once took the lives of more people in this country than cancer and heart disease combined. Many don’t know that the disease continues to kill more than a million people around the world each year, even though we have the medicine to cure it. 

John Green doesn’t attempt to tell a complete history of TB, and so it is understandable that he skims over an account of Saranac Lake. Of course we would have liked to read about Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau, a founder of the fresh air sanatorium movement in the United States and pioneer in the scientific research of TB. Dr Trudeau died of the disease in 1915, but Saranac Lake continued to develop as a center for patient care and professional training in the field. Some of the early drug trials were performed here in Saranac Lake in the early 1950s. Today, scientists at Trudeau Institute continue to advance the science of TB and other diseases.

In the 1950s, the antibiotic treatment was perfected at Rutgers University. Although it meant hard times for our local economy, the magic bullet of medicine was celebrated near and far. Indeed, TB is now rare in the United States, thanks to widespread treatment and testing.

It can be tempting to leave the story there, but John Green reminds us that medicine and science do not progress in straight lines. Saranac Lake’s TB history is only one small piece of an ever-evolving narrative. Here we are 75 years later, and the drugs still haven’t made it to places where TB runs rampant. Inequality, broken public health systems, persistent high drug prices, and lack of access to testing and nutrition, all mean that TB continues to be the worst global public health threat facing humanity. Limited access to medicine provides the opportunity for bacteria to mutate and become resistant. Lack of funding for development of new medicines means we have fewer and fewer answers to the ever-evolving germ.

Now, in 2025, the global situation is — unbelievably — worse than the one John Green described when he finished writing his book in 2024. Last month, the US government abruptly cut USAID-funded global health programs. Millions of people undergoing antibiotic treatment suddenly cannot access medicine. It’s a perfect recipe for the evolution of resistant bacteria. If Covid taught us anything it’s that we are all one organism, and bacteria will find their way to every corner of the globe.

TB will continue its rampage until high income countries take the first step, to care about the problem. This is Mr. Green’s main goal with his book, to bridge the empathy gap. To humanize TB, he focuses on one young person in Sierra Leone, Henry Reider, and his courageous battle against drug resistant TB. 

Reading about Henry brought to mind so many patients in Saranac Lake’s past who are a living part of our museum. We tell the story of Gloria Hazard, who died in Saranac Lake before the age of twenty. We talk about Isabel Smith, who cured for over twenty years in bed. And we remember Dr. E. L. Trudeau, “the beloved physician.” A model of empathy and optimism, Trudeau’s story continues to inspire healthcare workers around the world.

Visitors to the museum often teach us about Trudeau’s lasting legacy. In 2017, Drs. Suzhou Zhongyi Fan and Shulan Zhou visited the museum from China with their daughter, Wen. Practicing medicine in China, Wen’s parents had long been inspired by Dr. Trudeau. That afternoon, they visited the cemetery at Paul Smiths, and they left a note on Trudeau’s grave.

Saranac Lake is relevant to the story of TB because our museum is here today, chronicling the lives of patients and the people who cared for them. Learning about the past is a route to compassion, a first step to global understanding. 

We held a book launch party last week for John Green’s new book. It’s no surprise we had a good turnout. We may be way up here in the Adirondack mountains, far from people around the world struggling with TB, but through our history we are connected. It’s a first step.

Amy Catania

Join us at the Saranac Laboratory Museum on World TB Day, March 24th at 6 PM, for a screening of Crash Course’s ‘The Deadliest Infection of All Time.’ In this pre-recorded video lecture, author John Green explores this history, its persistence today, and how understanding TB’s history can point us to a different future. Copies of his recently published book, Everything is Tuberculosis, will be available for purchase.

The Story of Minglan

Moving on to episode 25 and hoping to soon be done with these ridiculous people 🙄

***

Eh. This deal is too good for them.

They are literally buying him off. So what was even the point of that deed from the brothel? I thought they would use it to blackmail him or something, but no, it is still the Sheng family raining money on these lowlifes to buy Shulan's freedom.

***

Oh, OK, so blackmail in addition to bribery.

***

Smh.

They should have listened to Pinlan and just had him beaten up somewhere.

***

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? LOOK IN THE MIRROR, YOU FUCKING WORM!! EVEN A PROSTITUTE IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU!

***

Just thank your lucky stars he was infertile too!

Imagine bearing children for this man. I feel like I would spontaneously crawl out of my skin and die.

***

Yet another lesson from Granny for Minglan to not be a doormat.

Nobody will thank you, they will just keep taking more and more until not even bones remain of you. Where is that post I reblogged just a while ago?

This is the absolute truth. You must have a backbone. If you don't have one, you must grow one.

***

Also, I am here for Granny's anti-Qi Heng agenda 😂

***

LOL, Granny is really pushing He Hongwen here 😂

Personally, He Hongwen makes all my alarm bells go off. He is too soft, too nice. He feels like one of those fake feminist guys who say all the right things but are actually horrible people overall and if it was up to me, I wouldn't trust him one bit.

However, Granny Sheng thinks highly of him and she has better judgement than me, so I'm taking her word for it.

***

What did they have to kill Granny the Second for? 😢

And she died cursing her husband with her last words. These poor women, each one of them suffered. I think all the "tradwives" who romanticize total submission to men and having no social power of their own need to watch this and be reminded that most men are worthless and will prioritise their dicks and egos over the very lives of their wives and children every chance they get.

The emperor of china probably fangirling over mulan and shang's love life

I’m not saying the Emperor ships Mulan and Shang, I’m just saying that he probably giggles to himself thinking about them and has a bunch of written out scenarios of how they get together and when they first realized they liked each other and probably draws them holding hands.
