Union Watch: Lin Qiaozhi and Her Doctors
by Lang Jinghe
About This Novel
2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of Peking Union Medical College. This is a book dedicated to the 100-year-old Union Medical College, Lin Qiaozhi, the "Mother of All Babies" and her contemporaries and junior doctors. But this is not a commemorative collection, but a medical humanities work of flesh and blood, full of emotional details and stories. Lin Qiaozhi led and promoted the development of Peking Union Medical College's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the entire Chinese obstetrics and gynecology, and is a banner for Peking Union Medical College and even the nation's medicine. The author, Mr. Lang Jinghe, was Lin Qiaozhi's academic secretary in his youth and worked beside Lin for many years. His medical skills, academics, and style of dealing with people were deeply influenced by Lin. Each article in the book is not large, but there are many things to read. For example, there are many interpretations of Dr. Lin Qiaozhi among the people, and there are also some untrue arrangements: Lin Qiaozhi's questions about love and marriage, Lin Qiaozhi's rejection of the invitation to the founding ceremony, why Lin Qiaozhi did not join the party, etc. The author gave a convincing answer from the memories of conversations with Dr. Lin during his lifetime. The book also presents the style of a generation of Concord people with Lin Qiaozhi as the core, as well as the inheritance and development of three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, including Zhang Xiaoqian, Lin Qiaozhi, Song Hongzhao, Wu Baozhen, Ge Qinsheng, Lian Lijuan, Yan Renying, and Lang Jinghe.
