1. Lin Yanzhi has been learning medicine and copying prescriptions with his father since he was a child. He is naturally sensitive to herbal medicines and diseases. However, because of his poor family background, he is often looked down upon by his neighbors.
2. His father died of an illness in order to save plague patients. Before his death, he gave him the treasured fragments of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and the family motto of "The Doctor's Benevolence", which became his original intention to practice medicine.
3. In order to make a living and improve his medical skills, Lin Yanzhi walked through the streets carrying a medicine basket and treated villagers. During this period, he made jokes due to his lack of experience. He also gained trust for his careful efforts in rescuing seriously ill children.
4. I met an old imperial doctor (retired) who was traveling by chance, and was recognized by his talent. He was given a copy of "Mai Jing" and taught him that "medicine is not only about medicine, but also about observing people's hearts and understanding the world."
