During the Xining period of Shenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty (Wang Anshi's reform was implemented, the old and new parties fought fiercely, the prosperity of Bianjing was intertwined with the suffering of the grassroots, and there were many medical schools but also mixed with witch doctors) Su Runzhi, the son of a folk doctor in Bianjing, studied medicine with his father since childhood, and was especially good at surgery and acupuncture. He was repeatedly suppressed for "opening the back door" for the powerful, but he always adhered to his duty as a doctor. In the complex social environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, a folk doctor used his medical skills to help the people. Amidst the oppression of the powerful, the rejection of peers and the test of the plague, he protected the original intention of "the benevolence of doctors", showing the development of medicine in the Song Dynasty and the survival dilemma of doctors.
