About This Novel
(This novel is written in memory of my mother who has been a barefoot doctor for forty-three years) Pay tribute to the rural barefoot doctors of that era! This is a true adaptation of the story. Zhang Yueqin is a barefoot doctor in Renjiazhuang. After studying in the provincial capital, he returned to his hometown to practice medicine. The mountain village lacked medical treatment and medicine, so the villagers were skeptical of her at first. She went from house to house, made medical appointments late at night, and waded into floods to rescue patients, gradually gaining trust. She made homemade tools, collected medicines in times of crisis, and sent doctors to hospitals on snowy nights. She always stuck to her post. Don't argue or defend when rumors spread, and respond to doubts with actual results. When the plague struck, she took the lead in preventing the epidemic, but she persisted even though she was tired. Provocation from other villages turned the hostility into friendship with benevolent medical skills. For many years, she healed countless villagers, but refused to go to the city with a high salary. Even though he was old and frail, he still taught his apprentices and wrote down medical records to pass on his experience. Before his death, he was concerned about the health of the villagers, and his last wish was to serve the village. She was poor all her life, but she became a medical spirit in the hearts of the villagers.
